After the first attack on Carlin's division, I doubt if the fighting was as desperate as described by him, p. 385, et seq.

Here Florence exhibited a gesture of strong impatience, though she did not speak. "I am not going to defend him altogether, but I think you must admit that he was hardly tried. Of course I can not say what passed between them, but I can understand how easily they might recur to the old scenes how naturally she would wish for a renewal of the love which she had been base enough to betray!
The exceeding transparency of the atmosphere brings these distant objects seemingly close to the observer, as though he was looking at them through a telescope. The small city of Cholula is spread out at the base of the pyramid, and beyond it are wide, fertile fields of grain and alfalfa, with gardens of semi-tropical fruits.

Some true hearts would gather about him, and carry out his commands; but he did the real work, and, single- handed, cowed and controlled the mob.

The day was breaking very cold and wild, and one could just see the waves below, a lashing tumble of grey and white water as far as the eye could reach.
There were always natures base and brutal enough to accept the calumny and to make it current among kindred souls.

Long live Austria!" Then they turned once more with fervent enthusiasm toward the enemy. "Down with the base Bavarians! Forward! forward!
In the third inning the clever Blake, aided by a base on balls and a hit following, tied the score, and once more struck fire and brimstone from the impatient bleachers.

Delaney, did you lock the gates?
Lastly, if the attempt is to be made, a tunnel must be hollowed of not less than three hundred feet in length, first downward and then upward into the very base of the idol, and if this is to be done within six weeks, that is, by the night of the marriage of the daughter of Barung, the work will be very hard, if indeed it can be completed at all, although hundreds of men labour day and night."
