Strange to say, these parties did not think it advisable to surrender themselves; perhaps it was because they knew that they were certain to be hung; but it is impossible to account for the actions of men: we can only lay the facts before our readers. Sir George Barclay was by birth a Scotchman, of high family, and well connected.
Barclay said, smacking his lips, as the rich flavour of the wine lingered on his palate with a sensation of exquisite delight. "It's a pretty fair article," was the indifferent reply of Watson "though I have tasted better in my time. Long abstinence has made its flavour peculiarly pleasant. Here, let me fill your glass again."
These particulars she detailed, in a white muslin morning-dress, to Osgood, who, dressed in a new cream-colored suit, lounged in the doorway of a small parlor off the hall. He shouldered round just in time to come face to face with Lily Tree, who was passing on the arm of Barclay Dodge. She stopped, of course, to shake hands with Mrs.
The Russian main army, under Barclay de Tolly himself, had its headquarters at Wilna; and consisted, at the opening of the campaign, of 120,000.

The scriptures are subordinate or secondary, again, in other points of view.
Barclay smiled quietly. "Milly is enjoying herself, no doubt, sister-in-law; and I do not see that her laughing, or calling out, or handing baskets will do her any serious harm. As for her hair, five minutes' brushing will set that right."

I could get one of Pickford's vans, or a dray from Barclay and Perkins', if that might be thought serviceable."
