Sentences with ONUS (5)

Whoever dared the outrage wished to put the onus upon another, should he be detected in the act; but once safely away from Ptarth he felt safe in having his minions return to their own harness.” “You believe that I did this thing, Thuvia?” he asked.
Thuvia, Maid of Mars Edgar Rice Burroughs 1993
Then Pluto in kindhearted tenderness erring, Can't make up his mind to let anyone die— The Times has a paragraph ever recurring, "Remarkable incidence of longevity."

Five years into this war, I am not always confident most Americans fully appreciate the caliber of the people fighting for them, the sacrifices they have made, and the sacrifices they continue to make.
