Should that place fall and the city was known to be most inadequately garrisoned and supplied it would be easy for the foe to reduce Coeworden, and so seize the famous pass over the Bourtanger Morass, march straight to Embden then in a state of municipal revolution on account of the chronic feuds between its counts and the population, and therefore an easy prey after which all Friesland and Groningen would be at his mercy, and his road open to Holland and Utrecht; in short, into the very bowels of the republic.
Such feuds, long after they are ripe for explosion, sometimes slumber on, until accident kindles them into flame. That accident was furnished by the tracts of the Puseyites, and since then, according to the word which I spoke on Rydal Water, there has been open war raging upon this very point.
I have to do it. These feuds are such beastly things, you know. One has to live up to them whether he likes it or not." "So you are putting me off your place? Oh, how lovely!" "It isn't far, you know just down by those big rocks. Your line is there. Of course," he went on politely, "you know that there is a feud." "Oh, yes; I've heard you discussed. Besides, I met Tompkins and James this morning.
You might as well argue that the old fading tree could never have been green and young. Institutions do not live on lies. They either live by the truth and usefulness which there is in them, or they do not live at all. So things went on for several hundred years. There were scandals enough, and crimes enough, and feuds, and murders, and civil wars. Systems, however good, cannot prevent evil.
"His Majesty is exceedingly gracious, and I am correspondingly obliged to him. Inform His Majesty that the same firm is willing to build him bridges over his rivers, and to make roads between the provinces, which would increase friendly communications, and consequently tend to reduce inter-tribal feuds." Interpreter.
Thus it will be observed that Lord Buckhurst while doing his best to conciliate personal feuds and heart-burnings had done full justice to the merits of Leicester, and had placed in strongest light the favours conferred by her Majesty.
And now, with such foundation laid for the indefinite perpetuation of similar feuds in Kansas, we do argue that it has manifested on the part of our population no ordinary qualities of heart and soul, that they were so soon able to eliminate from among themselves their turbulent and dangerous elements.
Lastly, to this painful list of the feuds, whose origin is to be found in the times and transactions of which we are speaking, may be added that slight, but too visible cloud of misunderstanding, which arose between Mr. Fox and Mr.
We must confess that integrity is a very rare virtue, and, very often, the man that thinks he has most actually has least. Families have been divided by feuds, and brothers have been murdered, which events would never have taken place if some friend had refused to perform what passes to the world as a harmless trick.
"And in token of amity I here tear up and burn all the feuds of Adlerstein," said Schlangenwald, producing from his pouch a collection of hostile literature, beginning from a crumpled strip of yellow parchment and ending with a coarse paper missive in the clerkly hand of burgher-bred Hugh Sorel, and bearing the crooked signatures of the last two Eberhards of Adlerstein all with great seals of the eagle shield appended to them.
