"We will find a place for you," the elder man said, "and if you are so anxious, you may sleep across his threshold when we spend the night at a hotel." "I will not sleep!" said Lazarus. "I will watch. Suppose there should be demons of Maranovitch loose and infuriated in Europe? Who knows!" "The Maranovitch and Iarovitch who have not already sworn allegiance to King Ivor are dead on battlefields.
They built their log-huts in the wildwood clearings, but their hearts were in the sheiling, the cabin, the cottage they had left beyond the sea. Their allegiance was divided, a fact of which the perpetuation of the various national societies is indubitable evidence. They were the pioneers; they made the wilderness a garden; and their children entered into a large inheritance.
We should recognize by law a fact that is plain to all thoughtful citizens-that we are dealing here with actions akin to treason that when a citizen knowingly participates in the Communist conspiracy he no longer holds allegiance to the United States.

Pierquin therefore returned to his allegiance, with the secret intention of making the necessary sacrifices to conclude a marriage which should realize all his ambitions. He kept company with Balthazar and Felicie during Marguerite's absence; but in so doing he discovered, rather late in the day, a formidable competitor in Emmanuel de Solis.
He watched her as she stood there buttoning her glove slight, almost frail, scarcely one's idea of a "masterful woman." It struck him then as strange that she had not so much as asked for pledge of his allegiance. What was it about her ? She was holding out her hand. Something in her eyes lighted and glorified her whole face. "Thank you, doctor," she said, very low.
From the day they were written until this hour they have never been printed, and for centuries perhaps not read. He proceeded to explain what he considered to be the law in the Netherlands with regard to military allegiance.
The persons we excluded, for the present, from suffrage in the South, were not the thousands who struggled in the rebel army, not the millions who had given their adhesion to it, but only those men who had sworn allegiance to the Constitution and then added to treason the crime of perjury.
