Before the world, it would without question redound to his credit, and he heard the world acclaiming him: 'Alvan's wife was honourably won, as became the wife of a Doctor of Law, from the bosom of her family, when he could have had her in the old lawless fashion, for a call to a coachman! Alvan, the republican, is eminently a citizen. Consider his past life by that test of his character.

And only Flavia only Flavia, shaking off the remembrance of Colonel John's face, and Colonel John's existence closed her grip upon his sword, and in the ardour of her patriotism saw with her mind's eye not victory nor acclaiming thousands no, nor the leaping line of pikemen charging for his glory that her brother saw but the scaffold, and a death for her country.

The Marshal was acknowledging the salute of his army after a famous victory over the infidel Turks.

At the Buchers the presentable red and gilt edition of his poems was kept in Fräulein's escritoire in her room. American education, Gard began to realize, was somehow on the wrong track here.

Toward the end the plaintive song has an ever-growing chorus of acclaiming voices. In the fever of united coursing motion the phrase loses the touch of sadness until in eager, spirited pace, as of galloping steeds, it ends with a shout of victory. It is somehow in the smaller forms that the French composer finds the trenchant utterance of his fancy.

These assemble to the sound of what we will call their unofficial march; then, to their great march, they walk to their places on the stand, Kothner waving the banner of the guild, and the people acclaiming. Pogner escorts Eva to the seat of honour.

Thereupon all the Gallic captives, men, women, and children present at the execution, all together repeated the last words of the druids, acclaiming them with so powerful a voice that the air shook even in my prison.
