She was tired, but she pretended to be more tired than she really was—letting her clothes fall, pushing back with a languid gesture her warm, heavy hair. — from Bliss, and Other Stories by Katherine Mansfield
complex functions performed by
When you have summed up the total of atoms or electrons or whatever it is that goes to the making of the tissues and also the innumerable complex functions performed by the different parts, you have not yet got on the track of the individual that governs the whole performance. — from The Practice and Science of Drawing by Harold Speed

I assure your lordship that it is quite impossible to carry fortified places by ‘ vive force ’ without incurring great loss, and being exposed to the chance of failure, unless the army should be provided with a sufficient trained corps of sappers and miners.... — from Wellington's Army, 1809-1814 by Charles Oman

His apparent avoidance of trouble, his unaccountable absence, his failure to step up and meet this challenge from Peden, became a grievance against him in their inflamed heads. — from Trail's End by George W. (George Washington) Ogden
conventionalised flat patterns but
EARLY BACKGROUNDS Backgrounds of the early Fifteenth Century deal much in conventionalised, flat patterns, but fifty or sixty years later, when figures began to be more crowded, there was but little space left unoccupied by the participants in the allegory, and this was filled by the artifices of architecture or herbage that formed the divisions into the various scenes. — from The Tapestry Book by Helen Churchill Candee

Why would you care to know such a thing? It's not entirely clear to us, either, but
it's fun to explore! What's the longest hidden word you can find? Where is your name hiding?
