    243

    Jessi had no idea what to say.

    244

    Jessi opened her eyes, still weirded out by the idea of moving between places without moving at all.

    245

    Jessi smiled, surprised to find no part of her disliked the idea of spending a lifetime – or several – with him.

    Looks like it was a good idea bringing you back from the dead after all.

    251

    Martha had no siblings and Quinn had no idea of what might have sprouted from his alien family tree.

    Maybe a little time to yourself is a good idea.

    More sense than the idea she was a deity for thousands of years.

    259

    Most things had returned to normal, but the trip to Texas had given Jonathan an idea.

    264

    No doubt he had no idea what his wife was talking about.

    265

    No idea what it'll cost, though.

    266

    No one challenged him, for the Immortals had no idea what he.d done.

    267

    No part of him felt the need not to check up on her, not when he had no idea where her loyalties were.

    268

    No wonder that the earth expresses itself outwardly in leaves, it so labors with the idea inwardly.

    269

    No, Dean had no idea what might attract Patsy to drive across the plains.

    270

    No, Martha Boyd had no idea where her mother was nor did she know the woman's destination, presuming Patsy had one.

    276

    Obviously she had no idea what he was thinking when it came to that type of thing.

    277

    Of course I agreed though I had no idea how I'd accomplish the task and dreaded even trying.

    278

    Of course, since Lori had hired the man who stabbed him, it might not be a good idea.

    279

    On a sudden thought I ran upstairs before any one could stop me, to put on my idea of a company dress.

    280

    Once more, in the doctrine of sin and redemption, the governing idea is God's fatherly purpose for His family.

    281

    Only his idea of tempting her with a fine house hadn't worked.

    282

    Or maybe, he wanted to get rid of his own regret at the idea of taking such a sweet soul, someone who might've been a kindred spirit in a different time and place.

    283

    Or was that his idea?

    284

    289

    Pierre saw that there was a bridge in front of him and that soldiers were doing something on both sides of it and in the meadow, among the rows of new-mown hay which he had taken no notice of amid the smoke of the campfires the day before; but despite the incessant firing going on there he had no idea that this was the field of battle.

    290

    Reason is in his idea not the individual reason, but the fountain of natural truth, whose chief channels are the various systems of heathen philosophy, and more especially the thoughts of Plato and the methods of Aristotle.

    291

    Rhyn had become like a brother to him, and the idea of killing his mate reopened wounds that hadn.t bled since he stood in this place thousands of years before.

    293

    Romas said I was crazy with hormones, but I spoke to someone on the Council who thought it was a good idea.

    295

    Self- sacrifice was her most cherished idea but in this case she could not see what she ought to sacrifice, or for whom.

    296

    Several schemes embodying this idea have been developed, and one of them has been put into extensive operation.

    297

    She backed away, unable to fathom the idea of being trapped with him in Hell for eternity.

    298

    She didn't want to think of him watching her bathe naked; the idea made her body thrum with something she didn't want to feel.

    299

    She gazed around A'Ran's bedroom, conflicted with the idea that her choice would mean she never saw her home, her family again.

    300

    She glanced at him, uneasy with the idea she knew something private about Xander.

    301

    She glanced at the book in front of her, an idea forming in her mind.

    302

    She gritted her teeth and turned to go, trying not to think of how jealous the idea of another woman made her.

    303

    She had been reluctant to mention her idea before, but now she was desperate enough to risk his anger.

    304

    She had no idea how his world operated!

    305

    She had no idea if Darkyn sought her out when she was upset because he thought she might be in danger or because he was concerned about her being with her ex.

    306

    She had no idea what he wanted.

    307

    She had no idea what made him angry one minute and jovial the next.

    308

    She had no idea what she was dealing with.

    309

    She had no idea what this meant.

    310

    She had no idea what to do with herself or where to go.

    311

    She had the crazy idea you'd be hurt if you saw it.

    312

    She hadn't intended not to return to Wynn's, but the idea of keeping him safe, too, made her feel a little less guilty about sneaking out on him.

    313

    She hadn't planned on jumping off her building, but the events of this night made the idea more appealing than having her head severed from her body or ending up a pile of bones in a bathtub.

    314

    She hadn't said anything to give Josh the idea that Alex would be upset.

    315

    She knew, too, that I sometimes write "letters to blind girls" on the slate; but I didn't suppose that she had any clear idea what a letter was.

    316

    She liked the idea of being special, especially with the hoard of beautiful women in front of her whose perfect bodies left her feeling plain.

    317

    She looked down, both thrilled by the idea of an eternity with the man who made her feel whole and horrified at what her father told her.

    318

    She looked unsettled at the idea of leaving her lab and looked around, as if trying to figure out what to take.

    319

    She might be getting over him, but the idea of running into him in town was particularly disturbing.

    320

    She offered to watch Destiny overnight and Alex said that might be a good idea.

    321

    She paused, an idea forming.

    322

    She put her hair down to hide the mark, horrified by the idea of belonging to the devil.

    323

    She remembered touching Darkyn's chest and feeling aroused by the idea of his hands on her.

    324

    She seemed concerned, yet said, "I think that's a great idea."

    325

    She should have been relieved, but the idea of putting it off until later wasn't exactly reassuring.

    326

    She wanted to think he was talking about more than her powers, but such an idea was out of the question.

    327

    She was an open book to him and he was obsessed with the idea of reading it.

    328

    She was unusually pleased by the idea.

    329

    She was worried about him, and he was touched by the idea she took pity on him when she herself was in more danger than he was.

    330

    She was wrong, all right - and she had no idea how wrong she was.

    331

    She watched the cave swallow Rhyn, unsettled by the idea of moving between places via the shadow world.

    332

    She wondered if Kris would check on her then dismissed the idea he.d seek her out for any reason.

    333

    So what difference did it make who came up with the idea as long as it was a good one?

    334

    So, anyway, that's the idea.

    335

    Somehow I get the idea that you will find it harder to be idle than working.

    336

    Soon as this Fitzgerald guy calls with the details, we'll have a better idea of the time frame.

    337

    339

    Strange, but the idea no longer gave her chills.

    340

    Struck by an idea, Deidre sat up.

    341

    Struck by an idea, she piled all the beads into the box before unfastening the clasp on Xander's necklace.

    342

    Surprisingly, the idea was more than a little intimidating.

    343

    Sweetheart, you have no idea.

    344

    Than an idea struck me; if we were sealed in, why not seal him out?

    345

    That God is love and that the purpose of His love is the moral organization of humanity in the "Kingdom of God" - this idea, with its immense range of application-.-is applied in Ritschl's initial datum.

    346

    That may be your idea of an ideal relationship, but I had to get away from him if I was going to have a life of my own.

    347

    That old idea dates back to prearranged marriages, when the groom had never seen the bride.

    348

    The above gives some idea of the evidence that has been accumulated in favour of the laws of chemical combination, laws which can be deduced from the atomic theory.

    349

    350

    The actual result of his personal inquiries, the great idea which lies at the foundation of his philosophy, we know.

    351

    The belief in human immortality in some form is almost universal; even in early animistic cults the germ of the idea is present, and in all the higher religions it is an important feature.

    352

    The conclusion that each element had a definite atomic weight, peculiar to it, was the new idea that made his speculations fruitful, because it allowed of quantitative deduction and verification.

    353

    The disturbing conditions of will, life and organic forces are eliminated from the problem; he starts with the clear and distinct idea of extension, figured and moved, and thence by mathematical laws he gives a hypothetical explanation of all things.

    354

    The electrical condition of the cable was then excellent, but unfortunately the electrician in charge, Wildman Whitehouse, conceived the wrong idea that it should be worked by currents of high potential.

    356

    357

    The idea brought a rush of heat to her neck.

    358

    The idea brought heat to her face.

    359

    The idea brought up a tirade.

    360

    The idea came to her suddenly.

    361

    The idea Darkyn voluntarily took a bond to a human when he made a name for himself disobeying his former master … There might be a reason Darkyn hadn't explained it to his mate.

    362

    The idea has merit.

    363

    The idea he feared anything amazed her.

    364

    The idea he was able to read minds was bizarre; the idea he couldn't read her mind was so satisfying, she was proud of herself.

    365

    The idea he'd gone through something like this, and she didn't know to help him made her sad.

    366

    The idea he'd never solve this mystery infuriated him, but not as much as the idea she was able to sneak up on him at will.

    367

    The idea he'd slept alone last night made her wonder.

    368

    The idea infuriated him.

    369

    The idea is as crazy as the rest of this business!

    370

    The idea is the power of short, instant messages broadcast to interested crowds.

    371

    The idea made her panic.

    372

    The idea made her smile.

    373

    The idea of any of us going out to California is another matter.

    374

    The idea of anyone hurting her cousins filled her with fury and fear.

    378

    The idea of defeat and flight could not enter Rostov's head.

    379

    380

    The idea of force is one of those obscure conceptions which originate in an obscure region, in the sense of muscular power.

    381

    The idea of free trade has divided people for as long as trade has existed.

    382

    The idea of him in pain caused the familiar vise around her chest to return.

    383

    The idea of Jessi belonging to someone else was unappealing.

    384

    The idea of something so horrible happening to him saddened her.

    385

    The idea of spending a day without him was unpleasant, but maybe that was what she needed to do.

    386

    The idea of spending her days with the reserved Sofi and cheerful Bianca was surprisingly appealing, though she couldn't help feeling intimidated by their happiness.

    387

    The idea of spending the day with a vamp instead of Jessi was unappealing.

    388

    The idea of teasing him with her body was a little frightening, but if that was what it took...

    389

    The idea of these meetings was first suggested in a letter to the archbishop of Canterbury by Bishop Hopkins of Vermont in 1851, but the immediate impulse came from the colonial Church in Canada.

    390

    The idea of this being my new reality terrifies me.

    391

    The idea of waking up to him each morning reminded her of how centered, energized and at peace she'd been after their first night together.

    392

    The idea of watching Darkyn strike her down made him eager to see blood spill.

    393

    The idea raised hair on the back of her neck.

    394

    The idea scared her.

    395

    The idea she had a choice was strangely empowering.

    396

    The idea she might really be of interest to someone as enthralling and terrifying as Xander was almost too good to be true.

    397

    The idea she'd hidden it somewhere he couldn't find was driving him mad, along with the scent of the human blood coating the walls of the far bedroom.

    398

    The idea that a person can be a political prisoner, jailed for his beliefs about government, politics, or politicians, is ancient but happily fading.

    399

    The idea that Brandon felt relieved wasn't all that flattering - or comforting, for that matter.

    400

    The idea that Jonny would turn out to be like Talon made her chest clench.

    401

    The idea that someone hurt Ashley to get to her made Jessi feel guiltier.

    402

    The idea was absurd, even for someone as chauvinistic as Romas.

    403

    The idea was both exciting and painfully disappointing.

    404

    The idea was disturbing.

    405

    The idea was nauseating.

    406

    The idea was that it would be great to make machines that behaved like us and, through that, we could harness their abilities.

    407

    The idea was that variations of the primary current would create electromotive force in the secondary circuit which would act through the air condenser formed by the two plates.

    408

    The idea, however, did not spread until, in 1261, Jacob Pantaleon, archdeacon of Liege, ascended the papal throne as Urban IV.

    409

    The more he tried to accept the idea, the harder it became to swallow.

    410

    The native idea, which may be true, is that the shorter period occurs in the case of female and the longer in that of male calves.

    411

    The network of streams forming the tributaries of the Darling and Murray system give an idea of a well-watered country.

    412

    The new-born idea of Italian unity, strengthened by a national pride revived on many a stricken field from Madrid to Moscow, was a force to be reckoned with.

    413

    The only idea of a god known to be entertained by them seems to be that of the Euahlayi and Kamilaori tribe, Baiame, a gigantic old man lying asleep for ages, with his head resting on his arm, which is deep in the sand.

    The Watchers aren't too keen about Darian's idea.

    419

    The woman has no idea how to deal with a child.

    421

    The writings of Josephus give a good idea of the fortifications and buildings of Jerusalem at the time of the siege, and his accurate personal knowledge makes his account worthy of the most careful perusal.

    Their bond felt permanent, and she had no idea what to do about it.

    423

    These various movements proved in the first place that the masses were by no means ripe for revolution, and that the idea of unity, although now advocated by a few revolutionary leaders, was far from being generally accepted even by the Liberals; and, secondly, that, in spite of the indifference of the masses, the despotic governments were unable to hold their own without the assistance of foreign bayonets.

    430

    437

    This idea, moreover, was conceived in circumstances that were to prepare the way for its realization.

    447

    To comprehend the real position we are forced to the conviction that the world of facts is the field in which, and that laws are the means by which, those higher standards of moral and aesthetical value are being realized; and such a union can again only become intelligible through the idea of a personal Deity, who in the creation and preservation of a world has voluntarily chosen certain forms and laws, through the natural operation of which the ends of His work are gained.

    458
