The Prince was arrested and interrogated before the court of Padua. He entered their hall attended by forty armed men, responded haughtily to their questions, and demanded free passage for his courier to Virginio Orsini, then at Florence. To this demand the court acceded; but the precaution of way-laying the courier and searching his person was very wisely taken.
He's capering around at a great rate, saying that the town, or the county, or the government, will have to pay him for the damage." "The movers couldn't have understood their business very well to have such a thing happen." said Frank. "Looks that way," acceded Daley, and they parted at the gateway of the Jordan home. Frank advised his aunt of the state of affairs and went back to bed.
The proposal of Edward, that Humphrey should go over and make known the circumstances to Oswald, that they might be communicated to the intendant, was readily acceded to; and Pablo, it was agreed, should go home and tell Alice and Edith that Edward was safe. "But now, Humphrey, about this boy; we can not leave him here." "Where is he?" "He still sleeps, I believe.

"You would try to make me believe," he remarked, smiling at his companion, "that to-day you are not in your most intelligent mood." "Explain, if you please," she begged earnestly.
The Doctor wrote his opinion that it was most important for Arthur's success in after life that he should know a Greek play thoroughly, but Pen adroitly managed to hint to his mother what a dangerous place Grey Friars was, and what sad wild fellows some of the chaps there were, and the timid soul, taking alarm at once, acceded to his desire to stay at home.
Philip was ill at Segovia when he received accounts of the excesses of the image-breakers, and of the convention concluded with the heretics.

The compensations for this concession were to be: McClellan was to be promoted immediately to be General of the Army, his father-in-law Marcy was to be appointed major- general, and a suitable recognition of the democratic party would be made in other appointments. At first blush McClellan was in favor of the arrangement. It is probable that if left to himself he would have acceded.
But the Government of Spain did not adopt that measure. On the contrary, it is understood that the Captain-General of Cuba, to whom an application to that effect was made by these adventurers, had not acceded to it. The condition of those Provinces for many years before they were ceded to the United States need not now be dwelt on.
