A hardly earned instinct told him that it was only among poor people that this idea could be developed. This belief was his family inheritance, and he would retain it faithfully through all vicissitudes; as millions had done before him, always ready to cope with the unknown, until they reached the grave and resigned the inherited dream.
Sick and dying men called to him from dark doorways, children and women begged for bread, carcasses lay unburied, vultures hovering above them his tireless efforts had not been sufficient to cope with the daily horrors of the siege. But there was no sign of hostility to him.
He should be a man at all points; simple, frank, courteous, intelligent, accomplished, and informed; upright, intrepid, and disinterested; one that can mingle among freemen; that can cope with statesmen; that can champion his country and its rights, either at home or abroad.
I daresay her father was absent in the Low Countries, with his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, under whom he had the honour of carrying a halberd at the famous engagement of Fontenoy or if not there, he may have been at Preston Pans, under General Sir John Cope, when the wild Highlanders broke through all the laws of discipline and the English lines; and, being on the spot, did he see the famous ghost which didn't appear to Colonel Gardner of the Dragoons?

They can carry a canoe or a hundred-pound pack over a forest trail; and in the winter they set the pace in the scientific, law and medical schools. Their heads are clear, their eyes are bright, and there is a hollow instead of a bow window beneath the buttons of their waistcoats. The feet of these young men carry them to strange places; they cope with many and strange monsters.
'Two can play at that game, said I, catching the second boot in my hand, 'two can play at that game, said I, aiming it at young Cope's head not that I meant to fling it at young Cope's head, for young Cope was a gentleman; yes, a gentleman, captain, though not Irish, for he paid me my wages."
