For a minute I considered. If I could cash the check at the bank without Taylor's knowledge and get him off to Boston on the early train, I might be able to cover my tracks. It was necessary that they should be covered. Knowing George as I did I knew that he would never consent to my sacrifice. He would not permit me to wreck my future in Denboro to save him.
Napoleon in person attacked and defeated Blücher at Ligny on June 16; and on the same day a French force under Ney was, after a desperate encounter, held in check by the British and Dutch regiments, which had been pushed forward to Quatre Bras. Blücher retreated to Wavre and Wellington to Waterloo on the following day.
I rushed forward joyfully to thank him, for I knew what Dolores' answer would be, but he held up his finger to check me. "I will give my consent under those circumstances," he continued, "on one condition." "And that?" I asked eagerly. He did not answer me at once; he sat in his chair, with his hand to his forehead, thinking. Then he lifted his head.
All I had to do was to keep my nerve and not get side-tracked and I'd have enough coin to make Andrew Carnegie's check book look like a punched meal ticket.

Your story would ruin me, false though it is." The captain arched his eyebrows. "I think I could bring satisfactory proof as to where you passed your time."
This served to check their ardor for a while, and the advance was halted while the wounded were carried back. But the Esquimaux were only made more angry by the resistance. They came on again with wild cries and, though Andy, Washington and the professor fought with all their strength, clubbing their guns and cracking several of the savages over the head, they were finally overpowered.
