On the other hand, Sir Thomas, candor compels me to add that I have you covered." There was a pipe in the pocket of his coat.
On the contrary, his speech to the people was full of candor and moderation; and when he had provided such things as he wanted, he went to Brundusium, and put to sea again. Though he was straightened for time, and in his haste sailed by many cities without calling, yet he stopped at Athens.
You avowed purpose here is to kill, conquer, plunder, pardon, and enslave: and the ravages of your army through the Jerseys have been marked with as much barbarism as if you had openly professed yourself the prince of ruffians; not even the appearance of humanity has been preserved either on the march or the retreat of your troops; no general order that I could ever learn, has ever been issued to prevent or even forbid your troops from robbery, wherever they came, and the only instance of justice, if it can be called such, which has distinguished you for impartiality, is, that you treated and plundered all alike; what could not be carried away has been destroyed, and mahogany furniture has been deliberately laid on fire for fuel, rather than the men should be fatigued with cutting wood.* There was a time when the Whigs confided much in your supposed candor, and the Tories rested themselves in your favor; the experiments have now been made, and failed; in every town, nay, every cottage, in the Jerseys, where your arms have been, is a testimony against you.
W. J. Stillman has written with unusual interest and candor the story of his own early life. As a boy he was frenzied at the first sight of the sea; caught the whip and lashed the horses in an unconscious delirium, and always remembered this as one of the most vivid experiences of his life. He had a period of nature worship. His first trout was a delirium, and he danced about wildly and furiously.

"I persuade myself you will receive and entertain Major Washington with the candor and politeness natural to your nation, and it will give me the greatest satisfaction if you can return him with an answer suitable to my wishes for a long and lasting peace between us." The two following days were consumed in councils of the chevalier and his officers over the letter and the necessary reply.
"Oh, yes; months ago." "She broke the engagement?" "Yes," admitted Holmes. "But I don't care." "What's the present girl's number?" teased Dick. "Five," confessed Greg with desperate candor. "But this girl, Dick, is worth all the others. And she'll stick. After all, it's only a year, now, that she'll have to wait." At this point, however, we find Dick and Greg to be first classmen.
"Ellen," he said bluffly, holding out his hand, "I've got only a minute, but I want to speak to you if I don't to anybody else." She straightened and gazed at him, startled out of her part into a life half joy, half terror. He had taken her hand and held it warmly. "Ellen," he said, "they're engaged, that boy and girl. Did you know it?" "No," she answered faintly, but with candor. "No.
Being too much a gentleman to dispute his mistress' word, Constantine merely shook his head and smiled broadly. "She fine lady," he acknowledged. "She got plenty nice dress silik." "Yes, silk." "She more han'somer than you be," he added, with reluctant candor. "Mebbe that's lie 'bout Mr. Marsh, eh? White men all work for Mr. Marsh. He no work for nobody." "No, it is true. Mr.
