To attain this end in the presence of an ever-watchful foe who had just recently been reinforced in considerable numbers from Richmond and further south almost enough to make up the losses he had sustained in the Wilderness and at Spottsylvania required the most vigorous and zealous work on the part of those to whom had been allotted the task of carrying out the initial manoeuvres.

In the distance the lights of the city blinked under the dome of growing darkness, while to the right a long line of light marked the citadel and the palace of the King. "There are ever-watchful eyes, ever-waking ears about us, looking and listening for treachery," De Froilette went on. "Every man suspects his neighbor, and has fingers ready for the knife handle.

For any signs of the literary taint he keeps open a stern and ever-watchful eye, and the "editor" or "editorial assistant" to make a distinction without a difference whom he should suspect of literary leanings has but a short shrift. Mr. Snooks is seldom much of a reader himself.

The intendants constantly made reports to, and received orders from, the central government at Paris. They were so many eyes, all over the kingdom, for an ever-watchful Richelieu.

I dread it. How changed will all appear without him whose ever-watchful affection anticipated every wish, and realised every hope! I ought to feel pleased at leaving Paris, where the heaviest trial of my life has occurred, but here I have now learned to get inured to the privation of his society, while in England I shall have again to acquire the hard lesson of resignation.
