    157

    158

    We have a similar sense of humor, I think.

    159

    161

    162

    She rubbed her head, wondering if the kid lived somewhere else in the building while unable to shake the sense that something was really, really wrong.

    A sense of desperation almost took her strength away.

    191

    He felt the sense of foreboding again, the unseen danger toward Katie.

    192

    Katie couldn.t help the sense of panic growing within her.

    193

    He had to let her go, but the sense of yearning and pain was too strong for her to sleep.

    194

    He strode toward her, determined to beat some sense into her.

    195

    A torrent of nonsense escaped from Jade, a mix of words that made no sense.

    196

    It makes no sense she.d be there, and if she is, the demons have her, or Jade wouldn.t be here alone.

    197

    His reaction fueled the sense of doom that had been growing since Jade appeared with Iliana.s hand.

    198

    Kiera found she truly was happy for her, though her own happiness was clouded by a sense of sadness and yearning.

    199

    200

    I can't make sense of things, Kiera said.

    201

    They sat for a while before she felt a familiar sense of anxiety at the reality of her situation.

    202

    The sense was fleeting and overwhelming.

    203

    But he'd won her as Kisolm's younger brother, Romas, had decreed, which should alleviate any accusations brought on by their clan, if Kisolm's father talked some sense into the arrogant crown prince.

    204

    At the moment he wanted nothing more than to reach out to her, and he was uncertain whether he wanted more to kiss those perfect lips or shake some sense into her.

    205

    With a sense of deep dread, he felt for the first time that the role he expected of her may not be a role she chose to fulfill.

    206

    The pod jolted and dropped, the sickening sense making her nauseous.

    207

    She hesitated, ashamed to feel a sense of suspicion after Ne'Rin's betrayal.

    208

    She didn't expect her sense of loss to be so deep.

    209

    She couldn't let her sense of hope seize her for fear of being devastated.

    210

    The Council can't talk any sense into A'Ran, and they're amassing this ginormous army to destroy him.

    211

    217

    They were quiet for a sometime but could sense from each other's movements that neither was asleep.

    218

    He always made sure one of the adults was close by, but his youth and a natural sense of balance helped him to catch on to the sport quickly.

    219

    Just exercise a little caution, have patience, good equipment and lots of common sense.

    220

    Dean bit his lip but had enough sense not to take the bait.

    221

    That's the only thing that makes sense.

    222

    The only person who can keep him away is Edith herself and it doesn't look to me as if she has the sense to do so.

    223

    It snowed for the entire trip, but all but a few other drivers had the sense to remain home for the last fifty miles.

    224

    Not that she's made any sense the other times we've had a conversation.

    225

    It's the only solution that makes sense.

    226

    It doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

    227

    That would be less risky and make more sense.

    228

    That's the only scenario that makes sense.

    229

    Given what he's hearing and seeing now, it makes a heap of sense.

    230

    There was work to be done before the return of this sense of small town peace could to be fully embraced.

    231

    He admitted none of the mental scenarios circling his tired brain made a lick of sense.

    232

    Sure. My mind isn't donating any words of wisdom that make a lick of sense.

    233

    As he peddled the road to Ouray, he tried to formulate a scenario of Shipton's ice park fall that made sense.

    234

    Somehow, considering Gladys, Effie or Claire seemed to stretch common sense more than an overweight bungee jumper.

    235

    That made some degree of sense.

    236

    While he hated even speculating about a child murderer, it was the first time Shipton's attempted killing began to make any sense.

    237

    Dean's mind churned the details of the recent happenings, trying to make sense of Shipton's orchestrated plunge to the river, and the strange reactions of those still sleeping beneath Bird Song's roof, and elsewhere.

    238

    Nor had he made any sense of his deliberations but finally his mind quit the task and allowed his exhausted body to sink into a deep sleep.

    239

    His heart raced as he began to sense what he would find.

    240

    Dean had a fleeting sense of relief that Corday hadn't pressed him for Cynthia's address.

    241

    Dean didn't respond but in his mind agreed the answer made a certain amount of sense, giving the situation.

    242

    He could feel her sense of relief.

    243

    Because I should have dragged her to a shrink or someone who could have talked some sense into her, or at least watched her more closely-protected her from herself.

    244

    Since the first time I stepped inside I had a sense of all of the love and happiness and peace those walls have witnessed.

    245

    Finally, she asked, "Does that make sense?"

    246

    Maybe some people sense that sort of thing more than others—that feeling you get when you're standing in a spot where you know something really dramatic occurred.

    247

    I don't sense any feeling of uncertainty or anguish.

    248

    Not, Dean surmised, out of a sense of charity as much as a severe case of nosiness.

    249

    Then what you were suggesting makes sense.

    250

    Maybe he'll have enough sense to send someone else to pick it up.

    251

    No, the events of two weeks past didn't make total sense, at least not yet, but Dean was suddenly interested, not in avoiding Jerome Shipton, but asking him some important questions.

    252

    There was a sense of cold and the ooze of blood filling his boot, and a reeling wave of lightheadedness, but little pain.

    253

    It's a bit confusing and a lot of it's speculation on my part, but bear with me and I think I have enough of the answers to make some sense of what happened.

    254

    Once I had a means of discounting the suicide note, everything else made much more sense.

    255

    It's the only thing that makes sense to me.

    256

    His ego and sense of dominance over her wouldn't let him allow her to be the one walking away.

    257

    But it didn't make sense, even though I think Shipton himself continued to believe that's how he fell.

    258

    Doesn't it make more sense that the whole bit about the cut rope was Shipton's sole doing?

    259

    He found it laughable that the living invented so many myths to create a false sense of security regarding the dark predators.

    260

    He held his face in his hands, rubbing his eyes, trying to make sense of something that defied all logic.

    261

    Immediately upon stepping over the threshold, Jackson's sense of smell took over.

    262

    I'm here to try to talk some sense into you.

    263

    The human had spent most of the evening pacing around the cell, trying to make some sense of everything, stopping only briefly to eat, in an effort to soak up all the alcohol.

    264

    She could not make sense of this.

    265

    Let me see if I can make sense of this for you… I have been fighting very hard to keep my feelings in check so as not to scare you away.

    266

    This makes no sense.

    267

    None of this made sense, yet it had to be true for him to be this distraught.

    268

    He tried to come up with something to say that made sense, but failed.

    269

    The reason Sarah always chased this now made sense.

    270

    Elisabeth seemed to sense his unease.

    271

    Sam, please focus There are some weird things going on with us and I'm hoping you can help make some sense of them.

    272

    Does that make any sense?

    273

    The rage and hatred she showed that night made perfect sense now.

    274

    A girl that young didn't usually have much common sense.

    275

    If he had the sense God gave a goose, he'd stay in Houston until spring.

    276

    There was no sense in fretting over it.

    277

    Animals seem to sense your mood.

    278

    I'm sure he has enough sense to come in out of the cold.

    279

    Maybe Alex had knocked a little sense into him.

    280

    It was done now, and for that much she felt a sense of relief.

    281

    He was joking, of course, but it was nice to think someone enjoyed her weird sense of humor.

    282

    She's not heavily endowed with common sense or ambition, but she does have attributes.

    283

    Surely he didn't mean love in the romantic sense.

    284

    She took in the scene, unable to explain the sense of doom settling in her stomach.

    285

    He met Dan's gaze and saw the same sense of dread on his counterpart's face.

    286

    She rushed on, But it's the only thing that makes sense.

    287

    Her surroundings blurred into light and shadows, and she felt the sickening sense of falling off the cliff again.

    288

    She gazed at the handsome man, unable to shake the sense she knew him somehow.

    289

    She still felt that man's rough hands on her body and the sense of helplessness.

    290

    She quelled her sense of panic, instead moving as far from them as possible to the kitchen and hoping they didn't notice her.

    291

    The timing now made sense.

    292

    She'd never learned to lie; in fact, she would never dare lie to Mr. Tim, not with his rigid sense of integrity.

    293

    He'd betrayed his own sense of responsibility, not to mention his promise to Tim.

    294

    She'd been trying to avoid the crushing sense of betrayal building in her breast.

    295

    She paused to look around again, caught in the surreal sense that everything that happened the past few months hadn't touched the condo community.

    296

    In fact, standing in her apartment, she had the surreal sense that life hadn't changed, as if she could open the door and go to work like any other day.

    297

    She has no sense for first aid, either.

    298

    For once, someone in the chain of command had some common sense.

    299

    The sense returned, and Rhyn looked down.

    300

    Gabe was quiet for a long moment, leading them through the jungle in thoughtful silence.  Katie felt the strange sense of something following again and moved closer to him.

    301

    Made sense at the time.  What drew you to Rhyn?

    302

    I would sense it if so.

    303

    I sense something, but magic is blocking it.

    304

    The snakelike branches overhead were creepier when she could see them in daylight, and the few birds and insects she saw made her shudder.  The sense of being followed didn't leave even in the full light of day.

    305

    It was clear and cool outside of Gabe's small cottage in the middle of a possessed jungle.  Rhyn felt the sense that someone else was there once more and looked around.  Assuming the feeling has something to do with his magic, Rhyn shook it off once more.  He opened the front door without knocking, already sensing it was empty.  Gabe had left in a hurry.  The wardrobe near his bed was open and his walls were missing many of the weapons Rhyn had seen last time.

    306

    Even if he wasn't with Katie, he could sense her.

    307

    The odd sense of someone following – a sign she now knew was the phantom trailing them - returned.

    308

    You didn't sense the demons earlier.  I had to tell you.

    309

    Her sense of danger grew more heightened at the thought that something had happened between the time Gabe originally gave her his necklace and now.

    310

    Light filtered in from somewhere, and Rhyn tried to make sense of his surroundings.

    311

    Kiki didn't have a chance to answer before the wooden door to their prison creaked open.  Rhyn's head spun as he was hauled up and dragged into a well-lit hallway.  Light and shadows wreaked havoc on his sense of place and time until he hit the cool stone floor again.

    312

    She hesitated then kissed him on the cheek and turned to go.  Kris watched her, unable to shake the uncanny sense it was the last time he'd see her.

    313

    Rhyn hesitated, unable to shake the disturbing sense that Katie's interest came from her resolve that this was the last time they'd see each other.

    314

    Rhyn looked around, wishing he could sense his mate.  She was alone in the underworld with a demon, a thought that made him incensed with the urge to find her.

    315

    We try to talk some sense into him?

    316

    I sense her this way.

    317

    Toby shook his head and started forward again, wondering when Ully had lost his sense of humor.  He led them in the direction where he sensed Katie, until night and clouds rendered the jungle too dark.

    318

    It now made sense how Ully had been able to free them and talk Jared into letting them go.  Toby had been too excited to find their escape too easy at the time, but now, he realized it was … weird.  He'd failed again.  He couldn't even escape on his own.

    319

    Katie was close.  Toby could sense her.  He ignored the branches whipping his face and the brambles tripping him.  Instead, he just ran, the screams of demons in his ears.

    320

    Kris watched him stalk away, unable to shake a sense of guilt.  If he'd gone after Kiki, he wouldn't have put his half-brother at even greater risk.  His judgment had failed him.

    321

    His eyes went to Rhyn's back as his half-brother hacked through a few branches in their way.  The sense that the exiled half-demon could do what he couldn't returned.  Kris touched his collarbone, the one Jade had broken.

    322

    I could never make sense of them, but they had to do with being chased by monsters.

    323

    I guess I'm not making much sense, period.

    324

    He has a black and white sense of right and wrong.

    325

    But it doesn't make sense either; nobody patches tires any­more.

    326

    I'm not doing any­thing until you tell me something that makes sense.

    327

    Now, start mak­ing sense!

    328

    It makes a certain amount of sense.

    329

    The fact that they're stupid makes sense.

    330

    But maybe you can talk some sense to her.

    331

    It didn't make sense.

    332

    Every time something starts to make sense, up pops ten other perfectly logical answers that make a lot more sense.

    333

    That didn't make sense.

    334

    But the whole thing didn't make sense.

    335

    As soon as Dean said it to himself, it began to make sense.

    336

    That made more sense.

    337

    Much as Dean had misgivings and knew he was being manip­ulated, Fred's suggestion made sense, and he reluctantly agreed to let the old man lead the prey to him.

    338

    It's beginning to make some sense.

    339

    Dean let him talk it out, half listening, half trying to make sense of all the details.

    340

    He had covered only 23 miles but each mile had given him a sense of accomplishment that astonished him.

    341

    That's the only way it makes sense.

    342

    Suddenly facts fell into place, previously homeless happenings began making sense, and a picture arranged itself in Dean's mind.

    343

    At last it was all making sense.

    344

    Winston seemed to sense someone sitting on the bed but he could not recognize Dean in the darkened room.

    345

    Once I questioned what you told me, everything began mak­ing sense.

    346

    Jeff never mentioned finding the money, not even after he thought it had been returned—just because of some silly sense of not placing me in harm's way.

    347

    Maybe there's another reason why I don't talk about it—some warped sense of guilt because I can't imagine any life without you.

    348

    That would have made more sense, he said, lighten­ing the conversation.

    349

    Besides, it did make more sense to stay at his house.

    350

    It would have made more sense for her to prepare a supper for him, but he insisted that she should have at least one day a week when she didn't have to cook.

    351

    It makes more sense for the man to buy his tuxedo.

    352

    It didn't make sense for her to stay at Katie's if she was going to be there at his house during the day when he wasn't around.

    353

    It made more sense that way, but secretly she had hoped he would change his mind.

    354

    Do you think I have no sense of responsibility?

    355

    Of course he thought her sense of responsibility was lacking.

    356

    He felt the familiar sense of desire rise just looking at her plump lips and bright blue eyes.

    357

    Jenn turned woodenly, the world around her making no sense in her state.

    358

    Jenn struggled to keep up, to breathe, to make sense of the world around her.

    359

    Darian watched his little brother, at once proud of the White God that Damian had grown into and crushed by the sense of his own failure.

    360

    He had no sense of his own mortality and fighting skill that rivaled Xander's.

    361

    You have no sense of humor.

    362

    I'd put my money on him, only because he's got no sense of his mortality.

    363

    A sense of loss filled her.

    364

    His resolve to keep away from her began to make less and less sense.

    365

    If nothing else, we can bury motion sensors a few feet away, if you think the Others will sense anything close to the portal.

    366

    You need monitoring equipment, preferably something they can't sense so you know what you're getting into before you show up with guns blazing.

    367

    Some small part of her yearned to feel that sense of unconditional safety and affection.

    368

    I hope I beat some sense into him.

    369

    It doesn't make sense.

    370

    I want to do what's right for my people, and it made sense to trade you to the Others, if they'd leave me alone.

    371

    With his disappointment at the discovery of his immortal home no longer standing, he also felt a sense of peace that had eluded him.

    372

    The black memories that made him wake up screaming at night, the fear he could still taste in moments of despair, were softened by the sense of stillness that settled into him.

    373

    His sudden disappearances without her made more sense.

    374

    She darted to the door and whipped it open, trying hard to sense if Darian reappeared close enough for her to follow.

    375

    When Jonny's hand clamped around her arm again, she felt the unmistakable sense of Traveling.

    376

    He was hurting, that much she could sense even without her magic.

    377

    No one can go through what you have and still have the sense of humor you do.

    378

    Darian peeked into one bedroom then the other, a sense of doom sinking into his stomach.

    379

    It made sense they'd take those who couldn't escape.

    380

    She couldn't sense them as she did when her magic was free, but she could dance the way Darian and Xander taught her.

    381

    While the hole inside her grew, Jenn's sense of duty returned.

    382

    Whether or not Jonny would ever know that same sense of peace, there was always a chance he could.

    383

    He hesitated before vaulting to the ground, unable to explain the quickening of his heart or the sense that the woman's teal gaze - the color of the eyes of Karyan nobility - reminded him of the home he hadn't thought of in years.

    384

    When Rissa merely nodded, accepting the insult, he felt the urge to shake sense into the oblivious woman.

    385

    Shuddering, she looked toward Taran, the sense of betrayal raw.

    386

    Anyone with sense would not venture out after dark following such an attack!

    387

    As she watched her life source drizzle into the bladder, she felt a familiar sense of loss.

    388

    The image of Taran's face flashed before her closed eyes, and with it a sense of frustration, fear, anger, and, most damning of all, desire.

    389

    Her eyes watered while a sense of doom settled in her gut.

    390

    For the first time in his life, he felt a deep sense of peace at his core.

    391

    She couldn't help the sense of horror she felt at such a fate.

    392

    She closed her eyes, a sense of calm at her core.

    393

    Despite feeling better rested than she could remember, she was unable to shake the sense of unease from the catacombs, as if Jame's magic lingered.

    394

    It was all beginning to make sense.

    395

    She descended the stairs with a new sense of purpose.

    396

    Denton could lay on the charm when he wanted to, but his sense of humor needed improvement.

    397

    Why did he always have to make so much sense?

    398

    He would pick now to develop a sense of humor.

    399

    The sense of falling once more made him clutch the cloak.

    400

    No sense of humor, Eden said to herself.

    401

    To give you a sense of what it's like to harm an innocent, you will first feel the pain you've caused throughout your life.

    402

    It was his size – combined with a prey's instinctive sixth sense warning it of a predator – that caused people to move away from him.

    403

    The cool night hit his skin simultaneously with the warning he least wanted to sense.

    404

    The nurse's assertion about there being some sort of cult made more sense.

    405

    Sure, because that makes total sense.

    406

    He'd never be able to sense the Original Other or Original Watcher, since they were able to move without detection by anyone, even their own kind.

    407

    The sense he knew she wasn't the right assistant made her frown.

    408

    He couldn't even sense her, until he was close enough to touch her.

    409

    They'd be unable to sense her, until she was within striking range.

    410

    Or hear her or smell her or sense her, unless she's standing within three feet of me, Xander said in irritation.

    411

    If we can't sense people like her, we can't track her.

    412

    He couldn't sense her like he did the person at the door.

    413

    Xander paused to sense what might be waiting for him then whipped open the door to his bedroom and strolled out.

    414

    He didn't see or sense her, like a ghost was prepping his coffee and ironing his shirt.

    415

    The Others were beyond the ability of even an Original Being or a God to sense.

    416

    He claimed to be a vampire, but it made no sense.

    417

    It makes sense to me, he explained, a small smile on his face.

    418

    Jessi wondered if she was the only one who heard Xander, which made no sense, considering the photographer stood between her and the massive man.

    419

    Both of them had an interest in Xander's life, one out of spite and the other out of a sense of shared history.

    420

    She hoped her cousin had the sense to go straight home.

    421

    She'd managed to avoid the sense of urgency and pressure Jonny no doubt wanted her to experience.

    422

    Can you sense her?

    423

    Jessi watched Xander move for a moment, unable to shake the sense there was more to him than she was able to understand.

    424

    The odd sense made her uncomfortable.

    425

    Jessi's cheerful voice preceded her entrance into the three foot sphere where he was able to sense her.

    426

    Like you had a sense and then lost it?

    427

    Yet it made sense on a level that she didn't quite understand.

    428

    She had no sense of moving, but the air around her grew heavier, cooler.

    429

    Jessi's sudden change of heart about wanting to go out tonight made more sense after Jenn's warning.

    430

    It was hard to believe the vampire had any sense of morals.

    431

    She hadn't stopped to let herself think about how much this week had hurt, knowing her cousins were in danger, the sense of helplessness she'd been fighting.

    432

    The White God didn't invite the Original Vamp into his home out of a sense of kindness or moral obligation.

    433

    We can teach him to fight and send him in to spy, since our enemies won't be able to sense him or access his mind.

    434

    You can't sense her either.

    435

    No one could sense her, but he would be able to smell her blood.

    436

    His gaze flickered to the necklace with a sense of dread.

    437

    I figured out Others can't sense them that way, Jonny continued.

    438

    He didn't sense the Original Other until within range of his mind manipulation power.

    439

    However, he didn't sense Jessi at all, meaning she wasn't with him.

    440

    It cleared, and she was out of the creature's ability to sense her.

    441

    Education, in the strict sense of the word, she had none.

    442

    Only in her case religion must be taken in an even more restricted sense than Matthew Arnold's " morality touched by emotion."

    443

    It is equally difficult to discover the relation between Paean or Paeon in the sense of " healer " and Paean in the sense of " song."

    444

    Farnell refers to the ancient association between the healing craft and the singing of spells, and says that it is impossible to decide which is the original sense.

    445

    There must be something capable of reflecting light in the wider sense of that term.

    446

    This latter sense has been adapted and extended by modern historians concerned with the frontiers of the Roman Empire.

    447

    The term was, however,, particularly applied, in O.E., to a gallows or cross, especially to the Holy Cross on which Christ was crucified, the sense in which the word survives.

    448

    The good sense and clearness of the views which he expressed caused attention to be paid to his desire to be again employed in India.

    449

    On the one hand the retributive principle itself has been very largely superseded by the protective and the reformative; on the other punishments involving bodily pain have become objectionable to the general sense of society.

    450

    The angle between two objects, such as stars or the opposite limbs of the sun, was measured by directing an arm furnished with fine " sights " (in the sense of the " sights " of a rifle) first upon one of the objects and then upon the other (q.v.), or by employing an instrument having two arms, each furnished with a pair of sights, and directing one pair of sights upon one object and the second pair upon the other.

    451

    The distinction between the old and new method of observation may thus, in one sense, be described as the difference between shooting at a moving object and in shooting at one at rest.

    452

    In the language of the Christian Church the word " infallibility " is used in a more absolute sense, as the freedom from all possibility of error guaranteed by the direct action of the Spirit of God.

    453

    It is to concordats in this later sense that this article refers.

    454

    Again, it is quite certain that the spiritual matters upon which concordats bear do not concern the two powers in the same manner and in the same degree; and in this sense concordats are not perfectly equal agreements.

    455

    Shaftesbury was the first great party leader in the modern sense, and the founder of modern parliamentary oratory.

    456

    These substances were regarded as being in some sense alive, and taking some active part in the development of being.

    457

    Now it is true that the critic must be unconscious of some of the subtlest charms and nicest delicacies of language who would exclude from humorous writing all those impressions and surprises which depend on the use of the diverse sense of words.

    458

    He acted with good sense and moderation, and, although by no means a believer in democratic ideas, he saw the necessity of satisfying public opinion and frankly gave his support to larger measures of reform.

    459

    Descartes was not in any strict sense a reader.

    460

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

    461

    But there is one point in the human frame - a point midway in the brain, single and free, which may in a special sense be called the seat of the mind.

    462

    The term is used in this general sense in certain rubrics of the English Book of Common Prayer, in which it is applied equally to rectors and vicars as to perpetual curates.

    463

    It was in this sense that Scottish bowlers saved the game.

    464

    They imply a lively sense of radical human need.

    465

    In the sense of "flowing water," the word is applied to the inflow of the tide, as opposed to "ebb."

    466

    The Illyrians were also "Pelasgian," but in a wider sense.

    467

    Of the seventy-eight resolutions none is in any sense epoch-making, and their spirit is that of the traditional Anglican via media.

    468

    Its doctrines were in no sense new.

    469

    In one sense tt may be said to stand to theological literature in Scotland in something of the same position as that occupied by the Canon Mirificus with respect to the scientific literature, for it is the first published original work relating to theological interpretation, and is quite without a predecessor in its own field.

    470

    This has led in some quarters to a desire that the moderator should be clothed with greater responsibility and have his period of office prolonged; should be made, in fact, more of a bishop in the Anglican sense of the word.

    471

    Only in a very modified sense, therefore, can it be correctly said to date from the Reformation.

    472

    In no sense can his" consistorial "system of church government be regarded as Presbyterian.

    473

    It was, in a very real sense, representative of the whole country, as two members were chosen by parliament from each county.

    474

    He was a straightforward and honourable man, who tried his best to do his duty in a position that had been forced upon him, and was in no sense of the word his own seeking.

    475

    The term sailor is used in a very wide sense and includes all persons earning their living by navigation on the sea, or in the harbours or roadsteads, or on salt lakes or canals within the maritime domain of the state, or on rivers and canals as far as the tide goes up or sea-going ships can pass.

    476

    Cavalier in English was early applied in a contemptuous sense to an overbearing swashbuckler - a roisterer or swaggering gallant.

    477

    In this wider sense the family may be characterized as follows.

    478

    These ancient opossums have been separated generically from Didelphys (in its widest sense) on account of certain differences in the relative sizes of the lower premolars, but as nearly the whole of the species have been formed .on lower jaws, of which some hundreds have been found, it is impossible to judge how far these differences are correlated with other dental or osteological characters.

    479

    The root has nothing to do with resting in the sense of enjoying repose; in transitive forms and applications it means to "sever," to "put an end to," and intransitively it means to "desist," to "come to an end."

    480

    The grammatical form of shabbath suggests a transitive sense, "the divider," and apparently indicates the Sabbath as dividing the month.

    481
