When he reached the ground amid wild and passionate cries of joy, he disengaged the child from his neck, and wiping his face with the sleeve of his shirt, said: 'The Lord's will be done.

There were those, however, who distrusted the Constitution and distrusted its proponents. They viewed lawyers and men of means with great jealousy. Amos Singletary expressed their sentiments in the form of an argument that has not ceased to be repeated in the discussion of all public affairs.
He's old Amos Burr's son, anyway, who never wore a whole shirt in his life." "He had on one yesterday," said Bernard Battle impartially. "I saw it. It was just made and hadn't been washed." Nicholas looked up stubbornly. "You let my father alone!" he exclaimed, spurred by the desire to resent something and finding it easier to fight for another than himself.
And when Walter came, a few years before Mr Sutterby's death, putting Amos into almost total eclipse, Harry would have none of this third baby. "He'd got notice enough and to spare," he said, "and didn't want none from him."

"I'll tell him," replied his brother; and the old servant departed with all speed on his errand. Then Walter came back to the window, and talked long and earnestly with Amos, telling him of the deep concern felt by his aunt and father on account of his prolonged absence.

You did not come as near to Sainte Marie unchallenged, and yet De Lannes is as old a soldier as La Noue. We can scarce see now, but yonder, near the river, is where he exercises his men." "He does so now," said Amos. "I see a dozen of them drawn up in a line at their drill." "No sentinels, and all the men at drill!" cried Du Lhut in contempt.

He then spoke to the head of the department, with the result that the boy's position was improved considerably.
