6.45 am As morning arrives once more, I feel a little hope

I'll try to stay alive as long as I can, but I can't imagine living longer than one more day

I try lifting the boulder once more

As morning comes on the fifth day, I feel sure I can still last a few more days

When I did this last night, the time seemed to pass more slowly

By 6.00 pm, I have taken off more of the boulder in three hours than I did in four days

Then I put him onto my shoulder and he laughs even more

I drink one more litre, slowly this time

I can't walk straight, I can't think for more than a few seconds, and I'm losing blood, fast.

"Your life, sir, is more important than mine."

There was nothing more to say

Then, water surrounded the ship and there was no more land.

I thought there was something more to this

So she had some more.

In a short time, Alice was more than three meters high.

I know more than she does.' Then she thought, 'Do I know more? Let me see

She catches a mouse every day - Oh! You're angry again! We won't talk about Dinah any more-'

'I never speak about cats! Our family hates cats! I don't want to hear any more about them.'

The big animals and birds wanted more

'I can't do any more,' she thought

She ate some more, and got very tall

The cook threw more things - plates, cups, spoons

'Its face is changing, everything is changing! Oh! It's not a baby any more, it's a pig!'

'Have some more tea,' the March Hare said to Alice.

So how can I have some more?'

'You can have more,' the Mad Hatter said

'You can have more than nothing.'

Alice wanted to ask more questions but they heard a cry: "The trial is beginning!"

'After that,' said the Mad Hatter, 'I cut some more bread-and-butter.'

Suddenly it was 28 to 14! And after I caught it four or five more times, it was 28 to 21

We began to move back to the hill, but Doyle suddenly saw more enemy soldiers who were going towards our men! We waited until they got to the top, then Bones began shooting with the machine gun

There were bullets flying all round me from behind - and then I saw more enemy soldiers in the low grass in front of me! They were shooting at our men on the hill.

'Get us two more drinks, please,' he said.

But because my medal was a more famous medal than theirs, it was more important to Jenny and her friends.

But it got me into more trouble

'You can make a lot more money,' he told me.

I played two songs - and a man walked past and threw some money into my empty coffee cup! I played two more songs, and soon the cup was half full of money!

He'll know more than me.'

'Perhaps I can put things right with Jenny,' I thought, 'now that I've found her again.' But the more I thought about it, the more I finally understood that it was better for the boy to be with Jenny and her husband, and not to have an idiot for a father.

And, more than this, they placed in the platform for my acceptance, and as a law to themselves and to me, the clear and emphatic resolution which I now read:

Is it possible, then, to make that intercourse more advantageous or more satisfactory after separation than before? Can aliens make treaties easier than friends can make laws? Can treaties be more faithfully enforced between aliens than laws can among friends? Suppose you go to war, you cannot fight always; and when, after much loss on both sides, and no gain on either, you cease fighting, the identical old questions as to terms of intercourse are again upon you.

To strengthen, perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union, even by war; while the government claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it

What is more, I have done every one of these things in my life, and nobody has questioned the constitutional character of it.

Faced by failure of credit, they have proposed only the lending of more money

The measure of that restoration lies in the extent to which we apply social values more noble than mere monetary profit.

This much we pledge - and more.

To those new states whom we welcome to the ranks of the free, we pledge our word that one form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far more iron tyranny

In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course

Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join in that historic effort?

On August 30th the weather was cool, the sky was black with smoke from domestic fires, and rain fell; rain and more rain

Twenty or more stayed behind in the clubroom upstairs

Jack the Ripper wanted more blood, and he went to look for another victim.

John McCarthy said later, 'It looked more like the work of a devil than of a man.' And Mrs Prater, who looked through the window, said, 'I can never forget it if I live to be a hundred.'

Why had the Ripper burnt them? When Abbeline discovered only one small piece of candle in the room, he thought that the killer had made a fire with the clothes because he needed more light to do his terrible work.

What is the most probable picture of the murderer? He was a short man, not more than 1.68m, between 28-35 years old, with a light brown moustache

A more probable suspect is George Hutchinson (mentioned earlier)

Children followed him to the marketplace, where he stopped for more water at another fountain

Here, let me give you more money

But before Valjean could produce more coins, the priest rode away in terror.

Fantine earned less and less money from her sewing, and the Thenardiers demanded more and more money to look after Cosette

Madeleine sent the money, but the Thenardiers found even more dishonest excuses for not sending Cosette back.

But what choice did he have? The truth was more important than anything else.

It took him more than twelve hours, and when he arrived, he discovered that Champmathieu's trial had already started

'It takes more than a small town prison to hold a man as strong as that,' they all agreed.

She managed a few more steps, and stopped again

It's true we're poor, and we have bad debts, but love is more important than money.'

He gripped Cosette's hand and began to walk more quickly

Walking more slowly now, thinking he was safe from his pursuers, Valjean followed the alley until he came to a lane that seemed to lead away from the city

'You should get out more

It was something more than that

Thinking no more about it, he wrapped the letters up again, threw them into a corner and went to bed.

It was more like the voice of a sick old man.

'But I'll take my daughter home and come back this evening with more money for you.'

I'll bring some friends round, and we'll make sure he gives us a lot more money.'

'What will you do if he doesn't give you more money?'

Still wearing the same rags, with the same bold look in her eyes and the same rough voice, she had somehow become more beautiful

You aren't living in the same room any more?'

Cosette, not a nervous girl by nature, smiled to herself and thought no more about it.

To which Cosette would reply, 'I love you more with every minute that passes.'

I'll ask no more questions, but you must promise to be here early the day after tomorrow

I shall ask no more favours of you, Monsieur

The ordinary people liked him at first, but he soon showed that he was more interested in power for his family than democracy for his people

The crowd grew more and more excited, until finally they tried to take the coffin away from the soldiers and carry it across a bridge

Their exit was blocked by more soldiers on horseback

'A soldier was going to shoot you,' she said, her voice no more than a whisper

But now we're both going to die, it doesn't matter, does it? I can't be jealous any more

Oh, and one more thing before you go,'Valjean said when the boy had handed him the letter

For the sake of Cosette's happiness, he would have to try and save the life of the man she loved - the man he hated more than any other in the world.

During the night, the thirty-seven remaining rebels strengthened the main barricade and made more bullets

Many fell, but many more reached the barricade

He had been more interested in catching Thenardier, who had escaped from prison and was known to be in the area.

So I advise you, dear boy, to eat more meat and get better soon

But there were more important things for Marius to think about

'You mustn't call me "father" any more,' he told her

'You don't need a father any more

Jean Valjean continued his evening visits, but the relationship between himself and Cosette became cooler and more distant

Valjean realized what was happening; Marius was telling the servants not to make him welcome any more

His private investigations into the old man's past had also revealed an even more disgusting fact

But she loved her husband even more, and she gradually became used to not depending on the old man for her happiness.

'I have more information to tell you

'Shall I tell you the secret that you were planning to sell me? I, too, have sources of information, and probably know more about the subject than you do

He was even more surprised when, instead of chasing him out of the room, Marius ran towards him and pressed several thousand-franc notes into his hand.

Jean Valjean listened as she described the view from the room that would be his, the beauty of the garden, the singing of the birds, but he was listening more to the music of her voice than to the meaning of her words

As he spoke, Valjean's breathing became more painful and he had difficulty moving his arms

I begin to feel more than nervous now: I begin to feel scared

For a moment more I run, and I can see the shape of the stone where Catherine is tied, and I fall to the floor in front of it

Tall, arrogant, dressed in his expensive suit and with a watch that costs more than most people make in a year.

And he looks more than nervous now

"You don't understand," Hastings shouts, "it's more complicated than that!"

Then there are more, many more, hundreds more, thousands more.

No, Emily, of course you're more important than them, but

And he asks himself once more if he can do it.

No more monster.

No more listening to that awful laugh, no more looking at her boring face

And, perhaps more importantly, no more sharing his bank account with her.

For a few moments he sinks slowly into the great loch, but then, somehow, miraculously, he kicks again, and he comes to the surface once more

"You walk from here to Brow Top, up over the moors road? Every evening? That's a dangerous road, and it must be more than three miles."

And he remembers something horrible from more than a year ago: an accident on the roads across the moors

It is a cold smile, but Branwell sees that the man's eyes look a little more alive now

Inside the pub it is small and dark, and the barman is rude and suspicious, but Gerry has to agree that the view from the terrace is more than spectacular

They all mix together and are little more than noise to an onlooker

He has to be stronger, he knows; he has to be more like Nick.

A woman's bag is the best: they have more things in them

And there are more cries from the crowd, and everyone seems to know what is happening now

Jake looks at the bag one more time

She is a quiet young thing, and beautiful too, and Carolina likes to have beautiful things around her, so she is more than happy to talk for both of them.

"Yes," Eleanor says, and for a moment more there is silence again.

What? Oh, who cares about her? She'll probably like prison, the crazy cow: more people for her to hurt

And you can see your room now, though everything seems strange and different, and everything makes you feel more afraid.

And so you wait, and you listen, and you look, and you tell yourself one more time..

After a few more moments, you begin to feel a little more relaxed

And you almost smile, and you relax a little more.

You know you should call the police, but you need to do something more, something quick.

Now you can hear the movement more easily

No reason for you to think that there is more than one burglar

You open the door a little more and step out onto the landing

You take one more step to the door

And then you can see his face, and you realise that he looks more afraid than you do, and he is stepping quickly backwards to the stairs

So he crosses the road slowly and casually, walks up the stone steps of the church and looks around once more before he pushes open the wooden doors and goes inside.

I stole it more than eight years ago, from a bank security van

And before Barry Brennan begins to shout and scream to the empty church, he hears the soft voice one more time.

Yes, I think I might have a lot more to confess tomorrow

But anyway, why think about it? Just drive; get a few more miles from the town, and from her.

And this one, he hopes, will have a little more respect for him and won't laugh at him.

Think about that." Greg drank some more of his beer and looked around the bar

No more

If you ask for more, you have to wait, and then there is the risk that they contact the police

"Miss White is here to take notes and can give you some more details about Mr Fletcher."

Sometimes he prefers to have a sherry and a cigar and nothing more

"Does Mr Fletcher have any good friends here? Or more importantly, enemies?"

The boy looks bored already, and he is not looking at the gun bags with interest any more.

And for a little while more they wait, until the surface of the pool is calm again

She starts to feel better: more relaxed and less concerned about the reason why the tube is so quiet today.

After a few more minutes she feels the train stop and she is aware of the kids getting off.

She stands up and looks in the corner of the carriage one more time, but it looks like the man is asleep.

They cannot travel, but there will be no more wars

They're saying that the study programs in the pod will make you much more employable when you come out."

What's more, there was a force field at the city boundary that was impossible to cross: there were alarms there that sensed your wrist chip before you even got close, and then government agents appeared in seconds to arrest you

"I haven't heard from him for more than..

Nothing more serious

So Cham probably needs to think about the future more carefully than you."

And I want to know more about this Pod Life thing."

Cham had so many things to consider, far more than her.

We can think about it more clearly afterward."

"Maybe there'll be more than dolphins." Sala let her mind go wild

Cham was already there, looking more gorgeous than ever in his silver suit.

She grew braver, and began to swim more rapidly toward the beach.

Sala tried to breathe more calmly

"Fantastic, more like! That was the best thing I've ever done in my life

Her legs had stopped trembling, more or less, and she wanted to get out of there

And they keep bringing in more robots."

There's more to the world than this city, believe me

Gran said nothing more, but her eyes were shining

She wished she could be with Cham, but his family was in crisis; they all needed him more than she did right now

"Mom, why can't they just use people instead of replacing them with robots and nanobots all the time?" Suddenly, Sala felt more angry than upset

"She has to tell me more then."

What more could she say? Cham's number one consideration right now was his family, and she couldn't stand in the way of that; but she wished that he would at least think about other possibilities.

At last, when Dani and Tian had nothing more to ask, Leti smiled and spoke quietly to another technician, who was standing nearby

Was that it? Decision made? No more discussion? Cham hadn't even looked at her

What more could she say?

Here, the tower blocks seemed taller and more depressing than ever, built closely together so that the spaces between them were always in shadow

Walking more slowly now, the woman went down a narrow passageway.

She looked very different now that she was in her own surroundings - more friendly and unthreatening

Promise me we'll investigate this more closely when you come out."

She's been hoping all week for more news

The only thing that made the time pass more quickly was her family's dream of the world outside

Then when you get faster, you can try more difficult ones."

"But it's exciting, isn't it? I've only seen her once more

"Not enough fruit to make more

"I just wish I could do more

Cham looked more confused than ever

She didn't want any more warnings, any more threats

but on the other, her life with Cham had never felt more uncertain.

And somehow, she hoped, she would reach Cham, through his avatar, and find the real person inside once more

De Winter asked me more questions about myself

I suddenly realized that we had been sitting at the table for more than an hour

She was bored now, and more bad tempered than usual

I had never felt more alone.

I waited for her to ask more questions

'Well,' she said, 'you are more clever than I thought

'Only two more miles,' said Maxim at last

The curtains were drawn and more logs put on the fire

I went across the hall and into the dining-room once more

We both went down to the water's edge and threw more stones

'Don't be angry with me any more,' I said.

There was nothing more to say

I decided that I would find out more about the Fancy Dress Ball

But I had to ask Frank one more question.

You know I love you more than anything else in the world

The sun was shining today and the cottage did not look frightening any more

I have never seen anyone more surprised.

It was not lived in any more

'That is why Mr de Winter doesn't use these rooms any more

But I did want to find out more about the man.

I hoped that she would tell me more about Favell, but she did not

I felt I was growing up a little more every day

Very soon, more people arrived and then some more.

I was someone more exciting and interesting than my usual self.

I understand things more clearly now.'

I was suddenly very angry and not afraid of Mrs Danvers any more

What's the use of this, Mrs Danvers? I don't want to hear any more.'

I would not have to think about Rebecca any more...

Manderley was a place of safety and looked more beautiful than I had ever seen it

I'm not a child any more.'

'I love you more than anything in the world.'

"I can't stand any more." Rebecca looked at me and smiled.

'There's no more to tell.'

I was no longer afraid of Rebecca; I did not hate her any more

Mrs Danvers did not frighten me any more

We had no more phone calls from reporters and no visitors

'There's one more thing to be done

'I have nothing more to say.' Favell laughed.

It had never looked more beautiful

I don't think the papers will bother you any more

Nothing could hurt us any more.

But Danny had been dead more than a year.

Now, as she watched this boy, his resemblance to Danny seemed to be more than mere coincidence

Why not? The more that she considered it, the less crazy it seemed

Time should have put even more distance between her and the anguish, but instead the passing days were bringing her around full circle in her grief

She wasn't a dancer anymore; now she worked behind the curtain, in the production end of the show, but she still felt physically and psychologically best when she weighed no more than she had weighed when she'd been a performer.

During the twelve years of their marriage, Tina had become a different and more complex person than she'd been on their wedding day, but Michael hadn't changed at all - and didn't like the woman that she had become

She wasn't sleepy now, but she knew she had to get more rest

A little more than a year before he had died, Danny had begun sleeping at the opposite end of the small house from the master bedroom, in what had once been the den

Not long after his tenth birthday, the boy had asked for more space and privacy than was provided by his original, tiny quarters

Although the funeral had been more than a year ago, she had not yet been able to dispose of Danny's belongings

Somehow, the act of giving away his clothes would be even sadder and more final than watching his casket being lowered into the ground.

Her inability to clean out his room suddenly frightened her; for the first time it seemed like more than just a weakness of spirit but an indication of serious mental illness

Although she wasn't much of a drinker, indulging in nothing more than a glass of wine now and then, with no capacity whatsoever for hard liquor, she finished the bourbon in two swallows

The focus of all the seats was the immense stage, a marvel of the size required for a Las Vegas spectacular, more than half again as large as the largest stage on Broadway

Sinatra was in town, at Caesar's Palace, perhaps for the last time, and even at eighty years of age, he generated more excitement in Vegas than any other famous name

But Danny had wanted to go to the mountains more than anything else in the world

In the health-obsessed final decade of the century, eating fatty foods was widely regarded as a far more delicious - and more damning - sin than envy, sloth, thievery, and adultery.

Tina wanted to stay in the wings throughout the performance, but she could do nothing more behind the curtains

"We got a hit, kid," Joel assured Tina once more.

"Joel Bandiri is more responsible for the show than I am - especially if it's a flop."

To Tina, Stryker said, "But if it's flattery you need - and I'm sure you already get a lot of it, lovely as you are - no one in Vegas can flatter with more charm and style than Helen."

The roar of conversation grew louder as the sounds ticked away, and the quality of the roar became more frenetic, gayer, and more often punctuated with laughter.

He made no great show of being more than ordinarily interested in her, but the attraction she held for him was evident in his eyes

Beneath his cordial, witty, slightly cool exterior, his secret response was that of a healthy male animal, and her awareness of it was more instinctual than intellectual, like a mare's response to the stallion's first faint stirrings of desire.

Now that she had spent more than a year grieving for her broken marriage and for her lost son, now that Magyck! was almost behind her, she would have time to be a woman again

The evening was turning out to be even more interesting than she had expected.

Some people for whom she cleaned house insisted that she keep regularly scheduled appointments, and they did a slow burn if she showed up more than a few minutes late

With that attitude plus a few money-management skills, they were able to hang on longer than most slot players who plunged at the dollar machines after getting nowhere with quarters, and because of their patience and perseverance, the duchesses won more jackpots than did the tide of tourists that ebbed and flowed around them

Vivienne valued her independence more than anything else

He was interested primarily in learning more about the mind that could create a work like Magyck! He had seen less than one-fourth of the program, yet he knew it was a hit - and far superior to others of its kind

Elliot wanted to know more about Christina Evans - and on a more fundamental level, he just wanted her.

The digital display began to sequence up the band once more, and scraps of music blasted from the speakers.

The frosted window cleared, and as the frost faded from the dresser mirror, Vivienne's distorted reflection resolved into a more familiar image of herself.

The person who paid a fair price for something was likely to place far more value on it than the one who got the same item for nothing

One of the models was flung from its shelf, then two more, then three more, then another, until all nine lay in a pile on the floor.

The closet door slammed open and shut with substantially more force than it had earlier.

Later, after no more than two dreamless hours, she suffered another nightmare about Danny

Though Danny's screams were increasingly muffled, they were even more urgent than before, because the dirt began to cover his face and pour into his mouth

She wasn't sure she would be able to get any more sleep, but she had to try

It costs more."

At the craps tables, the crowds, primarily men, were more boisterous than the blackjack aficionados; they screamed, howled, cheered, groaned, encouraged the shooter, and prayed loudly to the dice

On the left, slot machines ran the entire length of the casino, bank after nerve-jangling bank of them, brightly and colorfully lighted, attended by gamblers who were more vocal than the card players but not as loud as the craps shooters

On the right, beyond the craps tables, halfway down the long room, elevated from the main floor, the white-marble and brass baccarat pit catered to a more affluent and sedate group of gamblers; at baccarat, the pit boss, the floor man, and the dealers wore tuxedos

Not unexpectedly, he received considerably more tips than most dealers did.

It was no surprise that women players tipped him more often and more generously than did men.

Heart attacks are more frequent around the slot machines than anywhere else in the casino, and a lot of the victims are people who've just lined up three bars and won a bundle.

"There's more to life than just having a flashy career," Michael said pontifically

These last few days, as your show's been getting ready to open, I've had the feeling you might finally realize you need something more in life, something a lot more emotionally satisfying than whatever it is you can get out of just producing stage shows."

But the moment that she wanted to be something more than a trophy wife, he rebelled.

He interrupted her before she'd said more than his name

I have the intelligence and the talent to be more than just one thing

And I certainly can be more than just your trinket and your housekeeper."

And before you give me any more of that treacly talk about your great love of family, let me remind you that it wasn't me who tore our family apart

If some stranger wanted her to feel more pain over the loss of her child, however, that was definitely unsettling

"Is there anything more you need before I leave?"

"So is there anything more you need?"

And I'll be happy because the whole stunt will generate more talk about the show."

These were customers to whom the hotel was especially anxious to cater, and the more the Pyramid knew about them, the better it could serve them

Tina quickly shuffled through the pages, seeking more of the sick prankster's work

She hurried around the desk, banging her hip against one corner, heading for the wall socket as the printer hummed with the production of more hateful words.

She started around Angela's desk, wanting nothing more at the moment than to get off her rubbery legs and onto a chair - and suddenly the door to the hall opened, and she cried out in alarm.

They sat on the beige sofa, more in the shadows than in the glow from the lamps

"Somehow, for some reason, they drove the bus more than four miles off the main highway, four miles off and a hell of a long way up, right up to the damn clouds

"No more for me," she said

He returned from the bar with more RS 233; my Martin

"But something more."

that alone will require a lot more manpower than the police can spare for anything except a murder case, a hot kidnapping, or maybe a narcotics investigation."

She felt more relaxed than she'd been ten minutes ago, but she wasn't even slightly tipsy

"The body's in an airtight casket, but it'll be even more deteriorated now than it was a year ago when they recommended you not look at it."

remains, I won't be able to entertain any more doubts

"Somehow," she said, "I get the feeling it was considerably more..

He realized they had even more in common than he had thought

"With me, of course, it's only been little more than a year since I've been alone

You would eat every scrap of it, lick your fingers, and beg for more."

The more they talked, the more they found in common

As an hour passed in front of the fire, and then another hour, Tina discovered that she liked Elliot Stryker more with each new thing she learned about him.

He kissed her ears, her eyes again, and left a chain of kisses along her neck, and when at last he returned to her mouth, he kissed her more deeply than before, and she responded at once, opening her mouth to him.

But when he returned, she kissed him tentatively, found that nothing had changed, and pressed against him once more.

"Her husband would be engaged in nothing more than spiteful obstructionism

At least Kennebeck hadn't refused the request; nevertheless, Elliot had expected a quicker and more satisfying response

The judge's hesitation in this relatively simple matter struck Elliot as odd, but he said nothing more

He was considerably more formidable than his associate: tall, rough-edged, with large, big-knuckled, leathery hands - like something that had escaped from a recombinant DNA lab experimenting in the crossbreeding of human beings with bears

"I guess that's just one more question you're not going to get an answer for," Elliot said.

I'm not gonna answer any more questions, but I am gonna put a bullet in your crotch if you don't move over to the table and sit down."

The pistol still frightened him, but he was now thinking of something else that scared him more than the gun

It was as heavy as the first, and she figured it contained more comic books, but she opened it to be sure.

One more step.

As far as Elliot was concerned, the absence of ID was more sinister than a collection of patently false papers would have been, because this absolute anonymity smacked of a secret police organization.

It rang three more times during the ten seconds that she took to reach the front door.

She was more able to believe that he was joking than that he had really been in danger

Let's get you packed and the hell out of here before any more of these guys show up."

"The best he can hope to do is avoid losing more ground."

"There's probably more than one of them, and they'll be armed."

A man of his size probably wasn't frightened any more easily than Godzilla confronted by the pathetic bazooka-wielding soldiers surrounding doomed Tokyo.

But once more, incredibly, he was being hunted, and he wondered how long he could survive.

With more than a million full-time residents, with more than twenty million tourists a year, and with a vast desert on which to sprawl, Vegas offered thousands of dark, quiet corners where two people on the run could safely stop to catch their breath and settle upon a course of action.

"But why would they want Kennebeck on a Vegas court instead of in Washington or New York or someplace more important?"

Nevada offers more personal freedom than anywhere in the country, and that's good, by my way of thinking

But wherever there's a great deal of personal freedom, there's also an element that takes more than fair advantage of the liberal legal structure

That sounds more like the Christina Evans I know."

Something both more and less than human

something more..

"But I think it's more complicated than that

There were no more intriguing tidbits like Project Pandora, no more clues or leads.

"You'd think it was even more amazing if you'd suffered those nightmares," she said

If they're waiting, watching - we'll be dead before we can tell a reporter more than a sentence or two

I think we'll have to take the story out of town, and before we do that, I'd like to have a few more facts."

"In case you didn't know it, since the Cold War ended and California took such a big hit in the defense downsizing, Nevada has more Pentagon-supported industries and installations than any state in the union

Surely they couldn't have managed to get more than a glimpse."

"You said we ought to come up with more evidence before we go to the newspapers."

Elvira stopped by the table and asked if they wanted anything more

But more than that, what I'm afraid of..

I only hooked up with you today, so they haven't had time to learn more than the essentials about me

The song proceeded smoothly again - but only for one more line of verse

Her hands, which had been curled into tight fists, came open once more

That would be even more unlikely than the possibility that Danny did it."

That's why they've been so much different from any dreams I've had before, so much stronger and more vivid."

He seemed to find this new statement more outrageous than what she'd said before

After all, the last couple of years we were married, Michael was running around with a lot of other women, spending most of his time away from home, and Danny felt even more abandoned than I did

He compared it once more with the numbers on the electronic board, as if he were praying that he had made a mistake the first time.

Every ship was created with remarkable care and craftsmanship, and many were in uniquely shaped bottles that made their construction all the more difficult and admirable.

Eventually Harry realized that the extreme left and the extreme right shared the same two basic goals: They wanted to make society more orderly than it naturally was, and they wanted to centralize control of the population in a strong government

Besides, there are more hotels and motels in Vegas than in any other city in the world."

"Can't you see that? You should use your people more judiciously

"Stryker and the woman took off from McCarran International more than two hours ago

They don't know anything more about Project Pandora than what they picked up from that list of questions they took off Vince Immelman."

We have to go after these two with more care than usual

The kid's a lot more important than they are

There's more data to be gotten from him."

He's more important because he's a human being, not because he's a source of data, Dombey thought angrily, but he didn't voice the thought because it would have identified him as a dissident and as a potential security risk.

If he's subjected to many more of these sudden temperature fluctuations, we'll never be certain they didn't contribute to his death

Zachariah would report their conversation in detail, and Dombey needed to assume a more balanced position for the record

While we're working so hard to keep ahead of our enemies, aren't we perhaps becoming more like them? Aren't we becoming a totalitarian state, the very thing we say we despise?"

It's more than that

It swept through the graveyard, fluting between the headstones and the larger monuments, whispering a promise of more snow, much more than the meager flurries it now carried.

They had taken only two steps from the window when Elliot saw the snow move no more than twenty feet from them

Probably more than one.

If we stop for more than a couple of seconds, it'll show up on their receiver, and they might get suspicious."

It seemed more like a hundred miles

When they had gone two blocks, he said, "Turn right at the next corner." After two more turns and another three blocks, he said, "Pull it to the curb

"That's probably more like it," he admitted.

They wanted nothing more than to touch and to be touched, to confirm for each other that they were still alive, to feel safe and protected and cherished

After encountering so many people with so little respect for human life, they needed to convince themselves that they really were more than dust in the wind.

It's just that for more than fifteen years, I've led a very ordinary life, a workaday life

"It's more than that," Elliot said

"But does that make it any more acceptable?"

Although he spent more than half his time working in his Las Vegas office, he often had reason to fly to far points at the spur of the moment: Reno, Elko, even out of the state to Texas, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah

With that title, he would be one of the most powerful men in the United States, more of a force to be reckoned with than any mere Secretary of State or Secretary of Defense could hope to be.

His targets had always been spies, traitors; more than a few of them had been cold-blooded killers themselves

When the plane settled down once more, Alexander looked out the window at the milky-white, moonlit, feminine roundness of the clouds below, and he thought of the Evans woman

Murder was, in many ways, more thrilling to him than sex

"It exists, and that's where he is," she said, trying to sound more certain than she actually was.

She put the pen at the edge of the map once more, and she let her eyes drift out of focus.

If I see many more inanimate objects dancing around, I'm going to start believing in everything, no matter how freaky."

The table, the chairs, the credenza, and the hutch all glowed warmly because of the prodigious amount of furniture polish that had been buffed into the wood with even more vigor than he had employed when shining his dazzling shoes

What I felt in it was far more important

Elliot turned the map to be able to study it more closely.

"Well," Elliot said, "I happen to believe that individuals are more apt to act responsibly and morally than institutions ever do, which at least puts us on the side of justice

The deciduous trees, stripped of every leaf, appeared to be charred, as if this particular winter had been more severe than others and as cataclysmic as a fire

It was little more than one lane wide, and the trees formed a tunnel around it, so that after fifty or sixty feet, it disappeared into premature night

"Looks more like the road they always take in those old movies when they're on their way to Dracula's castle."

The more frequently the kid is reinfected, the faster the parietal spot grows."

Snow began to fall more heavily - yet ahead of them, not a single flake lay in their way

The single lane widened to two lanes in places and switch backed up the ridges, through more densely packed strands of larger trees

They were no more than six or eight feet from the lighted shack, close enough to see the guard's face as he scowled at them through the large window.

For two hundred yards ahead, until the road curved once more, nothing threatening was in sight.

An ex-showgirl! Alexander refused to believe that a showgirl could be of more than average intelligence

"Not a minute more than that."

Opposite the sliding door through which she and Elliot had entered, the security room was another door of more ordinary dimensions and construction

One passageway extended fifty feet to the left of the door and fifty feet to the right; on both sides were more doors, all shut, plus a bank of four elevators on the right

Half a dozen or more, judging by the sound of them

This level was the same size as the one on which they entered the complex: more than four hundred feet on one side, and more than one hundred feet on the other

There were more video displays than Tina could count at a glance; most were switched on, and data flowed in the form of graphs, charts, and numbers

In spite of its tremendous weight, it moved more smoothly and easily than an average door in an average house

The boy blinked, and with what appeared to be great effort, at the cost of more than a little pain, he withdrew one arm from under the covers and reached out toward her

Of course, when that was accomplished, Danny was of no more scientific value

It wasn't much of a smile; it quivered on his lips as if sustaining it required more energy than lifting a hundred-pound weight

they're now supposed to be our new friends, but they keep developing bacteriological weapons, new and more virulent strains of viruses, because they're broke, and this is a lot cheaper than other weapons systems

Once infected, no one lives more than twenty-four hours

Could this spot on Danny's brain have anything to do with the boy's psychic power? Were his latent psychic abilities brought to the surface as a direct result of the man-made virus with which he had been repeatedly infected? Crazy - but it didn't seem any more unlikely than that he had fallen victim to Project Pandora in the first place

If I can make them think that Zachariah was the one who spilled the secrets to you, if I can protect my position here, maybe I'll be promoted and have more influence." He smiled

"At the very least, I'll get more pay."

I had spent more time in useless development meetings than I had required to write both of those screenplays.

I only get back to a more normal state when I recognize the voice at the other end and when I know what is wanted of me.

Feeling more and more like Commissaire Charas, but trying to look unconcerned, I went on:

Did Charas know more than he was saying? I wondered

Charas was more than just an intelligent and educated police officer

About his death, however, she would say nothing more than that she had killed him with the steam hammer

But if you don't, there'll be nothing more I can do, because Commissaire Charas will have the fly.'

For one little moment it did not exist! It was only atoms travelling through space at the speed of light! A moment later, the atoms were once more gathered together in the shape of an ashtray!'

Now, tell me more about Colonel Protheroe.'

I had one more interruption

But I do wish you would be more careful in what you say.'

Sadly, our dinner only proved Griselda had been right when she'd said that the more she tried, the worse things went

'Well, he can't have stayed more than two minutes.'

I've never met a man more different from his name

'It was something very different, but I can't say more just now.'

If she learned to cook, she would leave to get more money

He left unwillingly, as though he had more to say but didn't know how to say it

We turned and walked this way, but after a short distance, there were no more broken bushes

Because he had read a few books, he thought he knew more than a man who has studied the subject all his life and...'

In fact, I felt rather happy at the thought of no more burnt vegetables and tough meat.

I said goodbye to Anne, but there was one more thing I needed to do

This time I noticed some more small branches were broken

And I think we ought to find out for certain.' I went once more to the telephone and called Old Hall

Just because you're much older than I am, you think that I might like other men more than you.'

Nobody dislikes gossip more than I do, Vicar

I said no more.

I believed him but I suspected that he knew more than he said

'But I feel more confused than before.'

'I did not think it was right to speak until now, because I still needed one more fact in order to explain what had happened

Poor Mr Hawes felt more and more guilty about taking the money from the collection.'

There is not much more to tell

It's coming into your life, too! And you can't call me a dear child any more when we have a real child of our own

What more do you want?'

But across the great emptiness of space, more intelligent minds than ours looked at this Earth with jealous eyes, and slowly and surely made their plans against us

Because it is hardly one seventh of the size of Earth, it cooled more quickly to the temperature at which life could begin

But people are so blind that no writer, before the end of the nineteenth century, suggested that much more intelligent life had developed there than on Earth

And looking across space, with instruments and minds more powerful than we can dream of, they see, at a distance of only 56,000,000 kilometres, a morning star of hope - our own warmer planet with its green land and grey seas, its cloudy atmosphere and its growing population.

It seems that the Martians calculated their journey very cleverly - their mathematical knowledge appears to be much more developed than ours

Thick clouds of smoke or dust, which looked like little grey, moving spots through a powerful telescope on Earth, spread through the clearness of the planet's atmosphere and hid its more familiar features.

He approached it, surprised at the size and even more surprised at the shape, since most meteorites are fairly round

For a minute he hardly realized what this meant, and although the heat was great, he climbed down into the pit to see the cylinder more closely

'But it's something more than a meteorite

I think everyone expected to see a man come out - possibly something a little unlike us on Earth, but more or less a man

'You'll hear more soon," I said, and went on to my home.

A Martian, therefore, would weigh three times more than on Mars, although his strength would be the same

The atmosphere of Earth, we now know, contains much more oxygen than there is on Mars

The view reminded me, more than anything else, of factories at night.

There was no great fear at this time, but already there were more people than all the boats could carry across the Thames

Nothing more of the fighting was known that night, the night of my drive to Leatherhead and back.

No doubt the Martians were very frightening, but there could not be more than twenty of them against our millions.

Every moment brought more and more fast-moving people in vehicles.

The Weybridge men, however, were better led or were more experienced

Some fired only one of these, some two or more

And where it met with water, or even mist or wet grass, a chemical action took place and it turned into a powder that sank slowly and made room for more.

As they got closer they saw- more and more people, all tired and dirty

They were taken through Barnet and were more than a kilometer beyond the centre of the town before they could fight their way across to the other side of the road.

They heard no more about the bread than this notice, and nobody else did either.

After several more hours on the road, they suddenly saw the sea and the most amazing crowd of ships of all types that it is possible to imagine.

It was the first Martian that my brother had seen, and he stood, more amazed than frightened, as it moved steadily towards the ships, walking further and further into the water

Now I was more used to them, and was in a good position with a lot of time to study them properly

He ate more than I did, and did not seem to understand that we had to stay in the house until the Martians had finished their work if we wanted to stay alive

I heard six bangs and then six more

I would not let him eat any more that day

Then he slept for some time and began again with even more strength, so loudly that I had to try to stop him.

The tentacle was now two metres or more into the room, moving backwards and forwards with strange, sudden movements

On the thirteenth day I drank some more water, and thought of impossible plans of escape

There were two ideas in my mind - to get more food and to move, as quickly as possible, away from the pit.

Near the top of Putney Hill I came across more human bones, eaten clean and left lying around

'After the tenth shot they fired no more - at least until the first cylinder came.'

'There won't be anything important for a million years or more - no music, no art and no nice little visits to restaurants

Especially, we must keep our science - learn more.'

He won most of the games, and when we did not want to play any more I went back up on the roof.

Here I found more black powder and some dead bodies

Certainly I was more curious to know the reason for this howling

And as I looked at it, and realized that the shadows had been rolled back, and that people might still live in its streets, and that this dear city of mine might be once more alive and powerful again, I felt such emotion that I was very close to tears.

A question of more serious interest is the possibility of another attack from the Martians

A doctor really must have practice! This time, I thought, he will get more practice with me than with a thousand normal patients

If you sleep any more, you're dead! However, I like your idea of a holiday on the River Thames.'

George laughed even more

At that moment, we all wanted mustard more than anything in the world.

'Oh, please! I do more work than old J,' Harris said.

'It's only two more days,' Harris said

'It's much more interesting to go to the Alhambra Theatre in London,' said Harris.

To begin with, she will be a little more careful

The new pair of black shoes are more sensible than their owner, though

Lots of taxi drivers own their taxis in the end, sometimes more than one.'

There was more silence

'James, there is something much more serious.'

'Jesus, is it possible that there is anything more important than that?'

'Since every other girl she knows has ruined herself and made money out of it, why shouldn't she? Her friends don't earn any more than she does, but every day they wear new dresses, shoes, and so on, to work

I looked at her in surprise and was about to ask her more, but just then I saw a carriage

I had always known this, and I had never before felt anything more than a teacher's interest in my students

'After what you've just said, I want to marry you more than ever,' said Sir Percival

'You've been so honest that I value you even more than I did before.'

Six lonely months have passed, and I am with dear Laura once more, but we now live at Blackwater Park, Sir Percival's house in Hampshire

Can't you see that Miss Halcombe has more intelligence than most men? She is a noble creature, full of strength and courage, and she'll use it all to protect that foolish little wife of yours

But now I am ill! I have a fever! I cannot get ill now, when Laura needs me more than ever!

So! Sir Percival's secret was something to do with his mother! Mrs Catherick said no more

'Surely they should be kept more safely?'

The entry above - recording the marriage of a man called Walter - took much more space

Now she looked like the Laura I first met at Limmeridge: her expression was lively once more, she smiled frequently, and she had lost that sad nervous look that made her so very like Anne Catherick

A little more than a year had passed since she had said that, and now her wish had come true

Perhaps Pesca knew the Count? Perhaps the Count really was a spy - a spy in a much more important sense than Laura had intended when she called him by that name.

Why should he listen to a mad woman? I told him that Anne was even more confused than before; she now believed she was Lady Glyde

In the 18th and 19th centuries, people started to think, write and talk about women's education more and more.

In 2018, more people in politics and theatre joined the group to ask for a statue of Mary Wollstonecraft.

Educated women have better health and they work more, says the World Bank

I thank God that I am living it." She fought for that day for more than ten years.

Second-wave feminism was about more than the vote; it was about sexuality, family and work

Ten years after her book was published, more than half of the workers in the West were women

Nothing is more perilous than truth in a world that lies." People have called her "the Simone de Beauvoir of the Arab World".

After the war ended and the men came home, more than 2 million women lost their jobs

It is also for men who want to make a more equal society.

In the United Kingdom, more than three out of four businesses pay men more than women

In many jobs, men earn 10 percent more than women earn.

In 2018, it was discovered that the BBC was paying some men a lot more than women for the same jobs

Women still do most of the work in the home, which means that many of them are working a lot more than men

But, in the 20th century, women started to study and work in science more and more

Later in the 20th century, there were more women in science, and some of them did very important work

Now, more and more women are entering science

More and more women are now going into science because of female scientists like Marie Curie, Rosalind Franklin and Emily Levesque.

She won the "popular vote", which means that more of the Americans who voted, voted for her, but she was not elected.

In 2017, Rwanda had more female MPs than any other country.

There are more and more women prime ministers and presidents in the world, and they are also becoming younger

Little by little, more women's sports were in the Olympics

In these Games, there were more sports that women could take part in

This taught her that being a tennis player was more difficult for girls.

But thanks to the women in this book - and others - women are now much more equal in society than they have ever been before.
