Don?t be nonsensical, now ?It?s very inconsiderate of you, StClare,? said the lady, ?to insist on my talking and looking at thingsYou know I?ve been lying all day with the sick-headache; and there?s been such a tumult made ever since you came, I?m half dead ?You?re subject to the sick-headache, ma?am!? said Miss Ophelia, suddenly rising from the depths of the large arm-chair, where she had sat quietly, taking an inventory of the furniture, and calculating its expense ?Yes, I?m a perfect martyr to it,? said the lady ?Juniper-berry tea is good for sick-headache,? said Miss Ophelia; ?at least, Auguste, Deacon Abraham Perry?s wife, used to say so; and she was a great nurse ?I?ll have the first juniper-berries that get ripe in our garden by the lake brought in for that special purpose,? said StClare, gravely pulling the bell as he did so; ?meanwhile, cousin, you must be wanting to retire to your apartment, and refresh yourself a little, after your journeyDolph,? he added, ?tell Mammy to come here The decent mulatto woman whom Eva had caressed so rapturously soon entered; she was dressed neatly, with a high red and yellow turban on her head, the recent gift of Eva, and which the child had been arranging on her headClare, ?I put this lady under your care; she is tired, and wants rest; take her to her chamber, and be sure she is made comfortable,? and Miss Ophelia disappeared in the rear of Mammy 1 The Ancient History, ten volumes (1730-1738), by the French historian Charles Rollin (1661-1741) 2 Scott?s Family Bible (1788-1792), edited with notes by the English Biblical commentator, Thomas Scott (1747-1821) 3 The Cerographic Atlas of the United States (1842-1845), by Sidney Edwards Morse (1794-1871), son of the geographer, Jedidiah Morse, and brother of the painter-inventor, Samuel F 4 Recollections of the Ten Years (1826) by Timothy Flint (1780-1840), missionary of Presbyterianism to the trans-Allegheny West Chapter 16 Tom?s Mistress and Her Opinions ?And now, Marie,? said StClare, ?your golden days are dawningHere is our practical, business-like New England cousin, who will take the whole budget of cares off your shoulders, and give you time to refresh yourself, and grow young and handsomeThe ceremony of delivering the keys had better come off forthwith This remark was made at the breakfast-table, a few mornings after Miss Ophelia had arrived ?I?m sure she?s welcome,? said Marie, leaning her head languidly on her hand?I think she?ll find one thing, if she does, and that is, that it?s we mistresses that are the slaves, down here ?O, certainly, she will discover that, and a world of wholesome truths besides, no doubt,? said St ?Talk about our keeping slaves, as if we did it for our convenience,? said Marie?I?m sure, if we consulted that, we might let them all go at once Evangeline fixed her large, serious eyes on her mother?s face, with an earnest and perplexed expression, and said, simply, ?What do you keep them for, mamma?? ?I don?t know, I?m sure, except for a plague; they are the plague of my lifeI believe that more of my ill health is caused by them than by any one thing; and ours, I know, are the very worst that ever anybody was plagued with ?O, come, Marie, you?ve got the blues, this morning,? said St?You know ?t isn?t soThere?s Mammy, the best creature living,?what could you do without her?? ?Mammy is the best I ever knew,? said Marie; ?and yet Mammy, now, is selfish?dreadfully selfish; it?s the fault of the whole race ?Selfishness is a dreadful fault,? said St ?Well, now, there?s Mammy,? said Marie, ?I think it?s selfish of her to sleep so sound nights; she knows I need little attentions almost every hour, when my worst turns are on, and yet she?s so hard to shop wake | ||

| I shall enter here some of my notes, as they may refresh my memory when I talk over my travels with Mina In the population of Transylvania there are four distinct nationalities: Saxons in the South, and mixed with them the Wallachs, who are the descendants of the Dacians; Magyars in the West, and Szekelys in the East and NorthI am going among the latter, who claim to be descended from Attila and the HunsThis may be so, for when the Magyars conquered the country in the eleventh century they found the Huns settled in it I read that every known superstition in the world is gathered into the horseshoe of the Carpathians, as if it were the centre of some sort of imaginative whirlpool; if so my stay may be very interesting I must ask the Count all about them I did not sleep well, though my bed was comfortable enough, for I had all sorts of queer dreamsThere was a dog howling all night under my window, which may have had something to do with it; or it may have been the paprika, for I had to drink up all the water in my carafe, and was still thirstyTowards morning I slept and was wakened by the continuous knocking at my door, so I guess I must have been sleeping soundly then I had for breakfast more paprika, and a sort of porridge of maize flour which they said was "mamaliga", and egg-plant stuffed with forcemeat, a very excellent dish, which they call "impletata" get recipe for this also I had to hurry breakfast, for the train started a little before eight, or rather it ought to have done so, for after rushing to the station at 7:30 I had to sit in the carriage for more than an hour before we began to move It seems to me that the further east you go the more unpunctual are the trainsWhat ought they to be in China? All day long we seemed to dawdle through a country which was full of beauty of every kindSometimes we saw little towns or castles on the top of steep hills such as we see in old missals; sometimes we ran by rivers and streams which seemed from the wide stony margin on each side of them to be subject to great floodsIt takes a lot of water, and running strong, to sweep the outside edge of a river clear At every station there were groups of people, sometimes crowds, and in all sorts of attireSome of them were just like the peasants at home or those I saw coming through France and Germany, with short jackets, and round hats, and home-made trousers; but others were very picturesque The women looked pretty, except when you got near them, but they were very clumsy about the waistThey had all full white sleeves of some kind or other, and most of them had big belts with a lot of strips of something fluttering from them like the dresses in a ballet, but of course there were petticoats under them The strangest figures we saw were the Slovaks, who were more barbarian than the rest, with their big cow-boy hats, great baggy dirty-white trousers, white linen shirts, and enormous heavy leather belts, nearly a foot wide, all studded over with brass nailsThey wore high boots, with their trousers tucked into them, and had long black hair and heavy black moustachesThey are very picturesque, but do not look prepossessingOn the stage they would be set down at once as some old Oriental band of brigandsThey are, however, I am told, very harmless and rather wanting in natural self-assertion It was on the dark side of twilight when we got to Bistritz, which is a very interesting old placeBeing practically on the frontier--for the Borgo Pass leads from it into Bukovina--it has had a very stormy existence, and it certainly shows marks of itFifty years ago a series of great fires took place, which made terrible havoc on five separate occasionsAt the very beginning of the seventeenth century it underwent a siege of three weeks and lost 13,000 people, the casualties of war proper being assisted by famine and disease Count Dracula had directed me to go to the Golden Krone Hotel, which I found, to my great delight, to be thoroughly old-fashioned, for of course I wanted to see all I could of the ways of the country I was evidently expected, for when I got near the door I faced a cheery-looking elderly woman in the usual peasant dress--white undergarment with a long double apron, front, and back, of coloured stuff fitting almost too tight for modestyWhen I came close she bowed and said, "The Herr Englishman?" "Yes," I said, "Jonathan Harker She smiled, and gave some message to an elderly man in white shirtsleeves, who had followed her to the door He went, but immediately returned with a letter: "My friend-Welcome to the CarpathiansI am anxiously expecting youAt three tomorrow the diligence will start for Bukovina; a place on it is kept for youAt the Borgo Pass my carriage will await you and will bring you to meI trust that your journey from London has been a happy one, and that you will enjoy your stay in my beautiful land-Your friend, shop Dracula | ||

| Madame de Thoux and she, thus drawn together by the singular coincidence of their fortunes, proceeded immediately to Canada, and began a tour of inquiry among the stations, where the numerous fugitives from slavery are locatedAt Amherstberg they found the missionary with whom George and Eliza had taken shelter, on their first arrival in Canada; and through him were enabled to trace the family to Montreal George and Eliza had now been five years freeGeorge had found constant occupation in the shop of a worthy machinist, where he had been earning a competent support for his family, which, in the mean time, had been increased by the addition of another daughter Little Harry?a fine bright boy?had been put to a good school, and was making rapid proficiency in knowledge The worthy pastor of the station, in Amherstberg, where George had first landed, was so much interested in the statements of Madame de Thoux and Cassy, that he yielded to the solicitations of the former, to accompany them to Montreal, in their search,?she bearing all the expense of the expedition The scene now changes to a small, neat tenement, in the outskirts of Montreal; the time, eveningA cheerful fire blazes on the hearth; a tea-table, covered with a snowy cloth, stands prepared for the evening mealIn one corner of the room was a table covered with a green cloth, where was an open writing-desk, pens, paper, and over it a shelf of well-selected books This was George?s studyThe same zeal for self-improvement, which led him to steal the much coveted arts of reading and writing, amid all the toil and discouragements of his early life, still led him to devote all his leisure time to self-cultivation At this present time, he is seated at the table, making notes from a volume of the family library he has been reading ?Come, George,? says Eliza, ?you?ve been gone all dayDo put down that book, and let?s talk, while I?m getting tea,?do And little Eliza seconds the effort, by toddling up to her father, and trying to pull the book out of his hand, and install herself on his knee as a substitute ?O, you little witch!? says George, yielding, as, in such circumstances, man always must ?That?s right,? says Eliza, as she begins to cut a loaf of breadA little older she looks; her form a little fuller; her air more matronly than of yore; but evidently contented and happy as woman need be ?Harry, my boy, how did you come on in that sum, today?? says George, as he laid his land on his son?s head Harry has lost his long curls; but he can never lose those eyes and eyelashes, and that fine, bold brow, that flushes with triumph, as he answers, ?I did it, every bit of it, myself, father; and nobody helped me!? ?That?s right,? says his father; ?depend on yourself, my sonYou have a better chance than ever your poor father had At this moment, there is a rap at the door; and Eliza goes and opens itThe delighted??Why! this you???calls up her husband; and the good pastor of Amherstberg is welcomedThere are two more women with him, and Eliza asks them to sit down Now, if the truth must be told, the honest pastor had arranged a little programme, according to which this affair was to develop itself; and, on the way up, all had very cautiously and prudently exhorted each other not to let things out, except according to previous arrangement What was the good man?s consternation, therefore, just as he had motioned to the ladies to be seated, and was taking out his pocket-handkerchief to wipe his mouth, so as to proceed to his introductory speech in good order, when Madame de Thoux upset the whole plan, by throwing her arms around George?s neck, and letting all out at once, by saying, ?O, George! don?t you know me? I?m your sister Emily Cassy had seated herself more composedly, and would have carried on her part very well, had not little Eliza suddenly appeared before her in exact shape and form, every outline and curl, just as her daughter was when she saw her lastThe little thing peered up in her face; and Cassy caught her up in her arms, pressed her to her bosom, saying, what, at the moment she really believed, ?Darling, I?m your mother!? In fact, it was a troublesome matter to do up exactly in proper order; but the good pastor, at last, succeeded in getting everybody quiet, and delivering the speech with which he had intended to open the exercises; and in which, at last, he succeeded so well, that his whole audience were sobbing about him in a manner that ought to satisfy any orator, ancient or modern They knelt together, and the good man prayed,?for there are some feelings so agitated and tumultuous, that they can find rest only by being poured into the bosom of Almighty love,?and then, rising up, the new-found family embraced each other, with a holy trust in Him, who from such peril and dangers, and by such unknown ways, had brought them together The note-book of a missionary, among the Canadian fugitives, contains truth stranger than fictionHow can it be otherwise, when a system prevails which whirls families and scatters their members, as the wind whirls and scatters the leaves of autumn? These shores of refuge, like the eternal shore, often unite again, in glad communion, hearts that for long years have mourned each other as lostAnd affecting beyond expression is the earnestness with which every new arrival among them is met, if, perchance, it may bring tidings of mother, sister, child or wife, still lost to view in the shadows of slavery Deeds of heroism are wrought here more than those of romance, when defying torture, and braving death itself, the fugitive voluntarily threads his way back to the terrors and perils of that dark land, that he may bring out his sister, or mother, or wife One young man, of whom a missionary has told us, twice re-captured, and suffering shameful stripes for his heroism, had escaped again; and, in a letter which we heard read, tells his friends that he is going back a third time, that he may, at last, bring away his sisterMy good sir, is this man a hero, or a criminal? Would not you do as much for your sister? And can you blame him? But, to return to our friends, whom we left wiping their eyes, and recovering themselves from too great and sudden a joyThey are now seated around the social board, and are getting decidedly companionable; only that Cassy, who keeps little Eliza on her lap, occasionally squeezes the little thing, in a manner that rather astonishes her, and obstinately refuses to have her mouth stuffed with cake to the extent the little one desires,?alleging, what the child rather wonders at, that she has got something better than cake, and doesn?t want it And, indeed, in two or three days, such a change has passed over Cassy, that our readers would scarcely know herThe despairing, haggard expression of her face had given way to one of gentle trustShe seemed to sink, at once, into the bosom of the family, and take the little ones into her heart, as something for which it long had waitedIndeed, her love seemed to flow more naturally to the little Eliza than to her own daughter; for she was the exact image and body of the child whom she had shop lost | ||

| You are safe for tonight, and we must be calm and take counsel together She shuddered and was silent, holding down her head on her husband's breastWhen she raised it, his white nightrobe was stained with blood where her lips had touched, and where the thin open wound in the neck had sent forth dropsThe instant she saw it she drew back, with a low wail, and whispered, amidst choking sobs "Unclean, unclean! I must touch him or kiss him no moreOh, that it should be that it is I who am now his worst enemy, and whom he may have most cause to fear To this he spoke out resolutely, "Nonsense, MinaIt is a shame to me to hear such a wordI would not hear it of youAnd I shall not hear it from youMay God judge me by my deserts, and punish me with more bitter suffering than even this hour, if by any act or will of mine anything ever come between us!" He put out his arms and folded her to his breastAnd for a while she lay there sobbingHe looked at us over her bowed head, with eyes that blinked damply above his quivering nostrilsHis mouth was set as steel After a while her sobs became less frequent and more faint, and then he said to me, speaking with a studied calmness which I felt tried his nervous power to the utmostSeward, tell me all about itToo well I know the broad factTell me all that has been I told him exactly what had happened and he listened with seeming impassiveness, but his nostrils twitched and his eyes blazed as I told how the ruthless hands of the Count had held his wife in that terrible and horrid position, with her mouth to the open wound in his breastIt interested me, even at that moment, to see that whilst the face of white set passion worked convulsively over the bowed head, the hands tenderly and lovingly stroked the ruffled hairJust as I had finished, Quincey and Godalming knocked at the doorThey entered in obedience to our summonsVan Helsing looked at me questioninglyI understood him to mean if we were to take advantage of their coming to divert if possible the thoughts of the unhappy husband and wife from each other and from themselvesSo on nodding acquiescence to him he asked them what they had seen or doneTo which Lord Godalming answered "I could not see him anywhere in the passage, or in any of our roomsI looked in the study but, though he had been there, he had goneHe had, however?" He stopped suddenly, looking at the poor drooping figure on the bed Van Helsing said gravely, "Go on, friend ArthurWe want here no more concealmentsOur hope now is in knowing allTell freely!" So Art went on, "He had been there, and though it could only have been for a few seconds, he made rare hay of the placeAll the manuscript had been burned, and the blue flames were flickering amongst the white ashesThe cylinders of your phonograph too were thrown on the fire, and the wax had helped the flames Here I interrupted"Thank God there is the other copy in the safe!" His face lit for a moment, but fell again as he went on"I ran downstairs then, but could see no sign of himI looked into Renfield's room, but there was no trace there except?" Again he paused "Go on," said Harker shop hoarsely | ||

| Some Internet users have heard of taste words to evaluate the others, there has been talk about the idea of taste. Cook about Cantonese cuisine, the routine is the main flavor, you taste the tastes. Taste is something inherent in relation to interpersonal, flavor , the word probably refers to the human personality or the personality you. Personality is the person39s attitude, character, personality, temperament and behavior patterns of the basic features. Personality permeates one39s life, affecting one39s life. Charisma is a positive frame of mind. Why are similar between people will be fun, this is the charm of personality. Need not always great charm and character together. The vast majority of real life people who are neither true nor pure gentleman villain, not the highest level possible but not bad behavior, cultivation may not be deep but there is no lack of conscience, lack of knowledge can be learned but do not pose the authority of ... ... performance necessarily perfect, but the real natural and lovely. It seems in my pursuit of perfection is not charisma, but rather to develop a positive attitude, the performance of the real self. Charisma on the network through the means of cultural and spiritual shown. Performance of online personality different from real life, the network under the conditions of people in general can not see the expressions and body language, but also tended to vest debut. But precisely because of this that the network is easier to find the good side of human nature and the integrity of personality, we often chat blog language and the voice of humanity to see the shining light, a number of simple words chanel,watch,oakley it memorable, and this is shows the network of personal charm. While each writer with articles of relevance in real life is different, it was the vernacular original, it was more romantic arts, maybe show some people a bit deceiving. But taste is a composite indicator, the elements are relevant, we can from the article in the performance of the overall demeanor savor, because in real life there is no personal charm and lovely person, on-line will not write more lovely the text. Moreover, regardless of whether the original vernacular, romantic art, or to deceive the show or ... ... is itself a manifestation of taste. Charisma is unfair to create the personality-based public relations will have a powerful appeal and influence. To leave the public, autistic and think that they have personality, it is not attractive at all, it lost its influence. There are handsome Chinese known as the first founding Prime chanel watches Minister Zhou Enlai, not only outside his handsome velvet of his enemies and the people of sincere service, but also with his personal charm to make the perfect moving mountains and rivers. Noted that there was no network in the text of the fugue, and the performance is not the main text, but the heart and soul. Thus the essence of the text is not necessarily high in the text itself, the difference lies in the soul. The mental health of those optimistic about the writers in their text reflected the individual39s soul, and self-cultivation, conduct constitutes him her unique charisma online. Online personality flavor easy fermentation. Why blog at the forum will appear chanel ceramic watches collection on chanel watch trouble phenomenon? That is because the flavor and issued similar fermentation. Forum blog is a stage, everyone can say that, intentionally or unintentionally, the performance in their own personal charm, but also pursue their own personal charm in mind. Sometimes the surface you stick to a specific thermal vest, a thermal incident behind you, in fact, is in the pursuit of a goal, an emotional catharsis, a kind of emotional sustenance, to shape an idol. Distance from the impact of taste. Experience and appreciation of taste, and from the point of view, but also and attitude of the. Appropriate distance, to appreciate each other at the point of view, then I am afraid that the experience of taste is the most charming. Why is this a new thing appears courtship. I would like to join the network easily under the conditions chanel replica watch of the opposite sex or between a virtual simulation of one of the best on the distance and angle. Network courtship is often discussed the freshness issue, I think it is not no relationship with distance. Whether online, in reality, everyone is willing to work with taste good people and each person can only continue to improve their self-cultivation to maintain a good flavor will be more popular. | ||

| In 2006, I ill the beginning of more. I insisted on the restoration of health for a walk every day. Early in the morning, I am facing the sun, breathe the fresh air, walk through the plaza on campus to see blue sky and white clouds, listening to birds sing, makes me feel good. Suddenly, a beverages bottles appear out of the blue, even-handed and I just fell on the front, I was shocked. I look up to college dormitories, a student moving me laugh. He used to be discarded from the 4th floor bottles out the window. I drink a dior purses bottle with their feet to the roadside bushesyears, continue to walk. Now when the heat of summer, hot weather, the campus area, dormitory building, the square around everywhere discarded bottles. And some family members of mine workers in, the pick will be able to pick up a lot of drink bottles, drink bottles and I was turning a blind eye to ignore. I never drink bottles seized, not for others, I am afraid that the identity lost. I am a retired senior lecturer, others found no bottles, dior and I seized bottles if bound arguments. I once found in the national flag on the fence, two drink bottles, was one of my students to see, and she repeatedly asked Sun, do you pick this? Do you pick this? At that time, my face, to look red, I really felt shame. I vowed never to pick the next bottle. One time me and wife to the market to buy vegetables, under the soles of the feet of a beverage bottle and I almost tripped over, I will drink a bottle quickly kicked to the side, But his wife picked it up on the basket. I fear other people see the face and immediately asked her to throw away drinks bottles. Who knows, she loaded with bottles on the roadside, but the seizure of a trade union. Blame to go home after his wife said to me You really could adopt an open! Seized a bottle of the night? A dime a bottle, throw away the strange pity seized bottles can also benefit environmental protection! I think if the husband is also reasonable If all bottles are not seized, the campus of the beverage bottles and piles of waste will be. So I think the sense of inferiority bottles found significantly reduced. From then on, I, if to see relatively clean bottles, if no one around, I would pick it up, inconspicuous place on the home. Everything is hard in the beginning, once done, over time, it used to. However, as a senior lecturer in bottles seized, or fear that the stingy , always sly and seized, and will drink a bottle in a bag, the general met with thought to the market to buy things I do! Thus,every time, I can pick up a few bottles. Over time, a month, I had picked up several hundred, has sold dozens of pieces of money, the natural joy of my heart. No matter what people do, as long as the single-minded, they will become addicted. I drink bottles seized from shy christian dior logo to bold, and finally had a bit addictive, several times a day, never. Games, one college, both inside and outside the stadium is full of discarded bottles. At this time, I am in public under the seized bottles are also noticing a shame that some referees, athletes and spectators also took the initiative to bring bottled drinks into my plastic bag. Games in the end I had a seized hundreds of bottles only. I insisted on some bottles among more than 1 year. Extremes meet, drink bottle has finally seized the lead to trouble. To see a child I found that there drink bottles were also advised me tosaid Our money is no shortage of it, seized bottles though is not a bad thing, but Godthis person. My when a neighbor heard in chat that I do christian dior not pick a letter she drinks a bottle, and they argued that I do not believe such a bigProfessor bottles will be seized? others told her Believe it or not! But personally I see him picking beverage bottles, and he sold his wife also helped him ragged. neighbors came to this, the eyes of my ear, I told her In the past, true, but the last 1,2 years I have Wash your hands quit! No matter how that high-level intellectuals, as a running away from home is always a shameful thing. Interest because I later transferred to writing, the seized bottles of interest faded, and now I would like to see the beverage bottle, regardless of the presence of some one, I was determined not to pick, because many people are running away from home, and none I found one broke, do not pollute the environment. The above is my experience of running away from home, remember the truth in order to keep my true face. | ||

| I think it will be best for her to go to bed tired out physically, so I shall take her for a long walk by the cliffs to Robin Hood's Bay and backShe ought not to have much inclination for sleep-walking then CHAPTER 8 MINA MURRAY'S JOURNAL Same day, 11 o'clock P-Oh, but I am tired! If it were not that I had made my diary a duty I should not open it tonightLucy, after a while, was in gay spirits, owing, I think, to some dear cows who came nosing towards us in a field close to the lighthouse, and frightened the wits out of usI believe we forgot everything, except of course, personal fear, and it seemed to wipe the slate clean and give us a fresh startWe had a capital 'severe tea' at Robin Hood's Bay in a sweet little old-fashioned inn, with a bow window right over the seaweed-covered rocks of the strandI believe we should have shocked the 'New Woman' with our appetitesMen are more tolerant, bless them! Then we walked home with some, or rather many, stoppages to rest, and with our hearts full of a constant dread of wild bulls Lucy was really tired, and we intended to creep off to bed as soon as we couldThe young curate came in, however, and MrsWestenra asked him to stay for supperLucy and I had both a fight for it with the dusty millerI know it was a hard fight on my part, and I am quite heroicI think that some day the bishops must get together and see about breeding up a new class of curates, who don't take supper, no matter how hard they may be pressed to, and who will know when girls are tired Lucy is asleep and breathing softlyShe has more colour in her cheeks than usual, and looks, oh so sweetHolmwood fell in love with her seeing her only in the drawing room, I wonder what he would say if he saw her nowSome of the 'New Women' writers will some day start an idea that men and women should be allowed to see each other asleep before proposing or acceptingBut I suppose the 'New Woman' won't condescend in future to acceptShe will do the proposing herselfAnd a nice job she will make of it too! There's some consolation in thatI am so happy tonight, because dear Lucy seems betterI really believe she has turned the corner, and that we are over her troubles with dreamingI should be quite happy if I only knew if Jonathan? God bless and keep himNo sleep now, so I may as well writeI am too agitated to sleepWe have had such an adventure, such an agonizing experienceI fell asleep as soon as I had closed my diarySuddenly I became broad awake, and sat up, with a horrible sense of fear upon me, and of some feeling of emptiness around meThe room was dark, so I could not see Lucy's bedI stole across and felt for herI lit a match and found that she was not in the roomThe door was shut, but not locked, as I had left itI feared to wake her mother, who has been more than usually ill lately, so threw on some clothes and got ready to look for herAs I was leaving the room it struck me that the clothes she wore might give me some clue to her dreaming intentionDressing-gown would mean house, dress outsideDressing-gown and dress were both in their places"Thank God," I said to myself, "she cannot be far, as she is only in her nightdress I ran downstairs and looked in the sitting shop room | ||
