The requests for aid seem to be increasing at many, if not most, of the area's 100 or so private schools.

His request that you should remain until the house changes hands seems to me to be areasonable one.

The request seemed to please him; but he wanted time to think.

"The request you made seems to be provocative rather than professional," he said.

Furthermore, your request for a separate vote does not seem to have reached us before the deadline laid down by Rule 116.

That request seemed to Riker to mark a fitting time to end the fun.
