There was the same mission to conquer land with gold replacing milk and honey, a wagon-train exodus, a plethora of heroes with a policy of taking an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Above all, God was on their side. This Old Testament of the West has been up-dated.

Richard took her to a friend’s party and afterwards, when they were driving home, he said, You know what’s happened, don’t you? It’s been killed by that old mad woman. An eye for an eye. A cat for a cat.

His determination and stubbornest to carry out the bond is also regarded as immoral. However, in the Old Testament, it states an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

výztuž kolem kotníku

The padded ankle collar and tongue provide an overall comfortable fit.

The boots are constructed using a solid one-piece leather upper with padding around the ankle collar and on the suede bellows tongue.

Padded ankle collar and rand to protect base of uppers. Lacing uses conventional D-rings and hooks.

The only team who disdained such artifices were Fiji , who are used to playing in ankle-deep water.

Allen, ankle-deep in water and with no hope of carrying the ball forward, chalked up his 14th of the season when he unleashed a crashing 25-yard volley.

A large, lumbering man, who fumbled through the ankle-deep water without grace.

zavěšeni do sebe

All around me there were young couples, arm in arm, doing the same.

The streets were crowded with evening strollers. Young couples, arm in arm.

Based on a painting by an early-80s Berlin Realist, it depicts enigmatically two adolescent girls standing arm in arm, geared out with shades and boogie box and dressed in clothes which accentuate their stockily sensual bodies.

kam jen oko dohlédne

The house was at the bottom of a valley near the reservoir, surrounded by rolling hills. There were green fields as far as the eye could see.

My method was to look ahead as far as the eye could see, work out the route mentally, then, leaving the wheelbarrow, test the ground in small sections and mark the way with my feet.

The road - little more than a track with deep ditches on either side - was elevated above the surrounding countryside. No other vehicle was in sight as far as the eye could see.

One of these, often referred to by the police, is the unrealistic fear that many people, particularly the elderly, have of their society. They take at face value cases such as this one involving the policewomen, and they really believe that they live in a society that has lost all its civilized values.

In the absence of an experiment, a statistical effect of one variable on another cannot just be accepted as causal at face value.

To conclude our review of criminal statistics, it is clear that official statistics on crime, like most statistics, should not be taken at face value as facts to be accepted uncritically.

I couldn’t stand it. I saw the cherry and realized an opportunity was at hand. Had just the stuff in the shed. Should have got rid of it years ago, but hadn’t.

Be prepared for this and ensure that you are close at hand with a reverse punch.

Designs are now being considered for small ice-lined cabinets for doctor’s surgeries, so that doctors can have vaccines at hand to immunise any child who comes for treatment.

They are our hidden universities, with some of the leading academics in their fields, the best specialist libraries and the stuff of history at their fingertips yet they work largely unsung and unknown.

They had, at their fingertips, the right numbers to ring and the right people to talk to.

With 1,200 hotels now on TravelWeb, consumers have a lot of information at their fingertips.

v podvědomí

My parents are not educated, they won't understand. At the back of their minds many girls feel that perhaps, even if they told their parents, they would fail to understand, or take in a situation so different from their own educational experiences.

And always, at the back of his mind, there was the business with the Police.

Whenever he sat up, the preserve on his chest was intense. His stomach seemed to be floating on a rising tide that compressed it against his sternum. At the back of his mind was the fear that he had been given too much air, that his lungs could not sustain the pressure that they would collapse.

za strany koho, kvůli komu

The structure has suffered little at the hand of man, or from the lapse of time, so that without much imagination it is possible to picture it as the builders left it about the year 1410.

Professor Levy will see you now. And she directed us to an examination cubicle adjacent to the great man’s room. We waited behind a closed door which opened at the hand of a rugged dark-haired, dark-bearded man in an open white coat who said: Hi, I’m Ron Levy.

A child who suffers abuse at the hand of a stranger can expect comfort and protection from his or her family; incest victims often have no-one to whom to turn - those who should support have been the cause of suffering.

na konci světa

Once Bernie and I dragged right across town to a pub in the back of beyond in North London because we'd seen a gig advertised there featuring a band called The Teenage Rebels.

The train from the Back of Beyond is about to arrive at the Middle of Nowhere. A week out of Moscow across Siberia and five time zones later you somehow land up in landlocked Mongolia.

She was appalled at the idea of living in the wilds, as she put it. To expect her to bury herself in the back of beyond, away from all her friends with just Penry Vaughan for company, constituted adequate grounds for divorce in her view.

zlá krev

"If there is bad blood between you and them," said I, to soften it off a little. (Google)

But don't imagine to yourself that I make myself bad blood on that account. (Google)

If we had not been all nearly on an equality in the matter of wages, these distinctions would have made bad blood among us. (Google)

třísknout pěstí (do stolu)

Graham banged his fist angrily on the table. A couple at the next table scowled at him but looked away when he glared back at them.

The old Monsieur le Président, who had presided so long in his own way at the top, shouted and banged his fist before leaving the room.

What he was doing - when that crazy mare put three fucking bullets in him. Go on, call them. He banged his fist down on the table and glared at Kellerman.

házet hrách na stěnu

It was like banging your head against a brick wall to attempt to fight against Movement Orders.

Although she was terribly fond of the children she found that working with them was like banging her head against a brick wall.

I must admit that I got fed up with pursuing it and I think it's like banging your head against a brick wall in the end. Yes. Didn't really have the energy to pursue it.

I listened, all ears, to hear what she was saying.

I'm listening, Jaq shouted. I’m all ears.

D' you want to hear? I’m all ears.
