The battle of Borodino was not fought on a chosen and entrenched position with forces only slightly weaker than those of the enemy, but, as a result of the loss of the Shevardino Redoubt, the Russians fought the battle of Borodino on an open and almost unentrenched position, with forces only half as numerous as the French; that is to say, under conditions in which it was not merely unthinkable to fight for ten hours and secure an indecisive result, but unthinkable to keep an army even from complete disintegration and flight.

Your time is almost up, Wynn.
It'd be nice to hear you wish you hadn't almost killed me.

There were days when you hated the fact you did love her, and there were days when she almost walked away from you for good, because she hated that she couldn't control how she felt, Deidre continued.

She could almost guess what was wrong but remained quiet.
She was almost angry enough with Wynn to wish he'd stayed here just a little longer.

In the meantime, Wynn was trapped in a room that felt way too small with the deity he meant to kill instead of the human he almost succeeded in killing.

The urge almost seemed stronger with her today than when he left her last night.
He was almost grateful he'd never trusted either Deidre completely.
She reached forward for a croissant and bit into it, almost groaning at the buttery, flaky, airy bread.
I almost assumed he was dead-dead but thought you'd tell me if so.
She almost gasped, wondering if he was reading her mind.
That I'd almost make a deal about.

He strode through a curtained doorway in the corner and down a long hallway almost too narrow for either of them to fit.

Did you really almost annihilate the human race?
Her gaze went to Rhyn, who looked almost amused again, then back.

She was scared to turn around, almost as if afraid he'd be passing out his phone number to every lithe, beautiful Amazonian they passed.
She almost felt normal in the jeans and light sweater.
Almost immediately she wished he.d let her fall off the cliff.
I.ve done almost everything you asked me to the past few weeks.
The woman was small and pale with eyes so dull, she seemed almost lifeless.
She whirled and sprayed him with the perfume, wildly aiming for his face and almost gagging at the scent.

He was almost done when the burst of coolness awoke her, and she looked down to see him smoothing the skin around her faded wound.
You almost ruined my life once.
A sense of desperation almost took her strength away.
For the first time since meeting him, she almost preferred to deal with Kris.

The emotions were almost imperceptible, and it had taken her a long time of studying him to read him.
Evelyn had almost laughed when Lishana's eyebrows shot up in response gave but loved Romas so much more for understanding Kiera well enough to defend her.

She almost slapped herself when she realized how simple it was.
They'd been right to use force over reason with the Council, a lesson he'd learned almost too late.
She could almost see him thinking.

I was a hundred percent truthful—same as always, almost.
There isn't even a building almost to Silverton!
Cynthia took up a pencil and paper again and began listing the different letters but almost as soon as they'd begun, they were interrupted by a soft knock on the door.
However, as there was almost no break between words, they could never be sure the double characters were in the same words and not the beginning and ending of different words or sentences.
It was almost twenty-four hours before Shipton and Donnie got back to civilization, with the kid's body.
As much and as often as Annie wrote, the letters and numbers must have almost become a second language to her.

It looked almost uncirculated.
She added, almost in a whisper, That's why I suggested Claire give the smaller denominations to Mr. O'Connor.

She almost protested, but remembered this morning's reticence.
He almost protested, but thought she might want control of when to leave, so let it be.
Almost as if it was meant to be.
Jackson smiled, remembering how she had almost polished off the prime rib.
It's so beautiful, almost haunting.
I almost did, but when I looked into your eyes, I wanted to stay there.
Jackson waited until the hall had almost cleared before making his way to the stage.
She grabbed his hands and squeezed so hard he almost fell to his knees.
She looked nothing like herself, almost primal.
They had almost finished their drinks when the pretty bartender leaned over, a little closer than necessary, displaying her ample cleavage.

We can maintain the systems from here, but almost everyone has fled west.
Her heart soared, and she almost cried out at being rescued.
Memories of almost being raped, of Brady killing someone in front of her … Her chest seized, and she dropped to her knees.
They said he'd been a basket case for almost two months by the time he jumped.
For once, she almost understood Brady's ability to kill without regret.
Instead, she found herself recalling what almost happened.
The thought of him almost crippled her.
She could almost pretend nothing occurred.
Unaccustomed to the weight of the rucksack on her back, she almost toppled over at the first step of the stairwell and caught the banister with both hands.
His grandfather had an almost subservient relationship to Tim's, but Brady had left the shadows on many occasions to remind Tim of what really mattered when the politician's ego started to get the best of him.
He had too much respect for her and Tim to make her a mistress when he almost felt compelled to make her something more.
Brady almost sighed in relief.
Felt like a missile almost grazed us.
She'd watched the laser missiles fall around her micro for almost an hour.
Lana almost uttered a cry of surprise, astonished he'd survived the missiles.
Katie chuckled, and he was almost relieved at the sight of her smile. Her features had grown paler and gaunter under his watch. He feared the underworld would sink her spirit, too. One of them had to have some sort of hope they'd make it out alive.
I almost believed we had half a chance.
His shove almost drove her to her knees again. She steadied herself and looked up in time to see him disappear into the jungle. Fear made her heart pound. The strange path he'd been following appeared ahead of her, revealing itself only a few steps at a time. She started at a walk and quickened to a jog, making sure the path wouldn't close and trip her. The path kept up with her, and she ran.
He called another portal and strode through it to the house of the one brother he'd come to almost trust. Kiki's feet were propped on a cast iron table while he gazed intently at the screen of his trusty iPad.
I can almost pull a portal, with someone's help.
Katie almost laughed at the oddity of his words. He didn't seem to be joking, but she couldn't see his face to tell one way or another.
Katie almost protested his abrupt dismissal then rolled so her back was to the fire. Something was really off about Gabe. She fingered the gems on the new necklace.
The guise had been almost perfect, except for Ully's hands, which had been bony with sharpened nails rather than Ully's human hands.
Rhyn grunted and rolled onto his stomach. The stone floor beneath him was cool but not cool enough to soothe the hot fury of his magic. The effects of whatever Toby had injected into him were almost gone.
I don't know what they want with Katie, but it's been almost two days.
Toby felt almost as distraught at having to stay in the cell while his human was lost in the underworld. Not that he didn't trust Rhyn or Gabe, just that, he might be able to find her first.
I couldn't get to my demon powers until you almost killed me.
You are totally justified saying that. I almost killed you.
Katie rolled onto her stomach, almost too tired to get up. The sky and jungle were growing dark. Through the bramble, she saw the marble palace. Death's palace. Katie's heart beat harder as she looked at her destination, not at all certain this was where she should've gone but not knowing where else to go.
Rhyn could almost see him thinking. In the end, Kris said nothing else, and Rhyn shook his head. For the first time, he'd tried to reason with Kris. He'd never do it again.
We're almost done exterminating the castle. I can send some help your way.

Fred asked in almost a whisper.
This whole business is almost over.
You almost blew it—you were just as bad as Jeff back then!
If you had admitted your suspicions early on that Jeff's death might not have been an accident, perhaps we could have worked together and gotten to the bottom of the whole business before you almost got us both killed.
I love Fred, almost as much as I love you.
You loved me enough to risk losing me, and almost did, just because it was the right thing to do.
Then she said, in almost a whisper, "And now I have it."
She paused and smiled up at him, one eye almost covered by a wave of gray hair.
I love her almost as much as I do my own children.
Reaching her side, he squatted close to her, his head almost level with hers.
The filly was mostly white with a few brown spots – almost the opposite of her mother.

Besides, they're almost done with the chicken house and then we'll be transferring the chickens to it.
The truth was, though, that Brutus had taken to Alex almost the first day – as soon as Carmen assured him Alex was a friend, not a foe.

Her Jonny was almost completely gone.
I get in skirmishes almost every day.

Almost got my ass kicked again before I figured it out.
She'd almost managed to return to the zone when Darian gripped the chain at the top of the punching bag, stabilizing it before her and disrupting the swaying rhythm.
Jenn almost laughed at his sudden intensity, both flattered and terrified to see just how interested in her he was.
She was almost too still to be breathing, her jaw clenched.
He almost called off the game, but something in Jenn's dark eyes stopped him.
Her scent still lingered in the air, and he could almost feel her hands on his body again, caressing him in a way that turned him from a god in control of himself into a fawning teenager.
He searched until it was almost too dark to see, finally coming to the one with the same marks as Jenn's necklace.
She'd almost made it when she heard the voice.
She did so, hands almost shaking in anticipating.
It almost happened millennia ago.
You were almost to that point in Ireland.
Jenn almost choked on her laugh.
One of the guardsmen was half the size of the other two, and his strikes were almost too fast and low for her to catch.
Jenn turned to leave, almost crying out in surprise.
Memories bombarded him, almost crippling him.
Yully's voice was almost a shout in her mind.
The hum in the air became a whine almost too loud to bear.
Her chest grew almost too tight to breathe at the thought of losing him so soon.
He listened to her breathing, could almost taste her skin from their position.
With effort that almost drove her to her knees, she reined in the demon, alarmed how much harder it was this time than when she'd killed the madman who was her father.

You're going to make it work if it kills you – and it almost did.
Her face in the mirror was almost devoid of color except for the eyes that looked large and round.
At first she cried almost non-stop.
At first she would have done almost anything to get him back, but now that idea seemed full of holes.
Carmen, Felipa and even Jonathan worked for almost two hours before they established something close to a normal atmosphere.
How many times had she almost lost him already?
The diversion was successful, but the new subject was almost as sensitive.
Of course, that meant almost four hours of driving back and forth.
His eyes were dark now - almost brown as he regarded her soberly.
She offered Clara some iced tea and they talked for almost an hour before Clara surprised her with a calculating question and matching expression.
