"Francesca, if it only were all me," he said with unexpected passion.

She had only exerted her wiles for histrionic purposes on the occasion of his first visit.

After the first few days she was the only one to be consulted and appealed to by everybody.

Something had exploded in his brain, and his only thought was to get away, away from all the noisy, chattering, hand-shaking people, to some quiet place, where he could think.

Muhammedanism has no connection with post-Reformation Christianity and meets it only in the mission field.

The chief rival of Christianity was Judaism, which was represented in Northern as in Southern Arabia by strong colonies of Jews, who made proselytes, although their strict ritualism was uncongenial to the Arab temperament which preferred conversion to Christianity (naturally only as a matter of form).

The joy of life which the ancient world had known, art, music and culture, all were rejected or valued only as aids to religion.

The most important compromise of all, that with life, which Christianity only secured by gradual steps, had been already attained for Islam by Muhammed himself and was included in the course of his development.

With this hostility to marriage are probably connected the regulations concerning the covering of the body: in the ancient church only the face, the hands and the feet were to be exposed to view, the object being to prevent the suggestion of sinful thoughts: it is also likely that objections to the ancient habit of leaving the body uncovered found expression in this ordinance.

Islam certainly went to further extremes than Christianity in this matter, but these customs are clearly only further developments of Christian regulations.

These rules are almost entirely dictated by the spirit of early Christianity and it is possible to reconstruct the details of life in those dark ages from these literary records which are now the only source of evidence upon such points.

" Rachel might have known that the consolation offered by fatalists is only the recommendation of a resignation which, as fated itself, is gloomy, if not awful, for it amounts to an annihilation of self, with all hopes, energies, and resolutions.

The idea is horrible; and, if acted on, would only make matters worse.

Since no light burned in the house, the only means of determining the hour was by striking a match and holding it in front of a watch.

"I don't see why Inman and the rest delay their attack, when we are only children in their hands; they can do with us as they please" All started, for at that moment a sharp rap sounded on the door.

15.The reciprocal terms each other and one an other divide, according to some mutual act or interchangeable relation, the persons or things spoken of, and are commonly of the singular number only.

Bullions says, "One and other refer to the singular only."Eng.

5.It has been almost universally assumed by grammarians, that the positive degree is the only standard to which the other degrees can refer; though many seem to think, that the superlative always implies or includes the comparative, and is consequently inapplicable when only two things are spoken of.

So Latham and Child: "It is better, in speaking of only two objects, to use the comparative degree rather than the superlative, even, where we use the article the.
