     summary: There is a certain desperation to which men are often aroused in the last extremity, which surpasses courage, and is even sometimes a very effectual substitute for strength; and Alfred might, perhaps, have succeeded, after all, in saving his affairs from utter ruin, had not a new circumstance intervened, which seemed at once to extinguish all remaining hope and to seal his doom. Alfred awoke from his sleep with his mind filled with new hopes and anticipations.

     summary: I know the night-schools of the cities, the Ungraded Rooms, the Schools for Defectives, the educational schemes in prisons, the Manual-Training Schools, the New Education (first suggested by Socrates) as carried out by G. Stanley Hall, John Dewey, and dozens of other good men and women in America.

     summary: So the King commanded that Cerdic should be given five hides of good land and that the thrall collar should be taken from his neck; and then Reinbaldus the scald made a song and sang it in the great hall while the King feasted, and this was the song he sang-- Over the storm wave, over the swan bath, Cerdic the Saxon came, to Lethra fleeing From the fierce anger of Berwulf the viking, Fleeing with Olfa, and the child Wulnoth; Thus came young Wulnoth to fair Lethra.
