"There's nothing to discuss," said I. "If there's a lady in danger somewhere ahead, we all know what we're going to do about it." Monty nodded. "If we can find her and get word to the consul, that 'ud be one more lever for him to pull on." "D'you suppose they'd dare molest an Englishwoman?" I asked, with the sudden goose-flesh rising all over me.
"And who should dare to compare you with Monk or Cromwell, general?" exclaimed Marianne. "If there is a man worthy to be compared with the first consul of France, it is only the great Washington, the liberator of America." "Ah, you think so because we are both presiding over a republic," replied Bonaparte, with a sarcastic smile.
Cæsar and Tigellinus remembered that that apparently effeminate and æsthetic person, who made "day out of night," and was occupied only in luxury, art, and feasts, had shown amazing industry and energy, when proconsul in Bithynia and later when consul in the capital.
The establishment of a republic was in accordance with the wishes of a large number of the Milanese; and they called the First Consul their Savior, since he had delivered them from the yoke of the Austrians. There was, however, a party who detested equally these changes, the French army which was the instrument of them, and the young chief who was the author.
"What is life without a slave?" says The Desert voluptuary. "Better to die than have no slaves!" But there are exceptions. A young lad is placed by his uncle, who lives in Tripoli, under the care of the Consul.

And Herr Mack stood chatting eagerly with the Baron. He was talking of his grandfather, Consul Mack: "I don't know if I told you before, Baron; this diamond here was a gift from King Carl Johan, who pinned it to my grandfather's breast with his own hands." I went out to the front steps; no one saw me to the door.
Told Lord Cleveland I had transmitted his letter with a strong recommendation. I made my letter as agreeable to the Bishop as I could, but I dare say he will refuse. Very likely he has given away the vicarage. I told Lord Cleveland I thought it probable. September 30. The Consul at Antwerp writes a long foolish letter in much alarm. Mr. Cartwright's reports are come.
This kind of vow proved acceptable to the gods, and they conducted the auspices to a fortunate issue. Matters were conducted with the same success by the other consul at Cominium: leading up his forces to the walls, at the first dawn, he invested the city on every side, and posted strong guards opposite to the gates to prevent any sally being made.
