The Campanian army recognized Cinna as consul and swore the oath of fidelity to him man by man; it became a nucleus for the bands that flocked in from the new burgesses and even from the allied communities; a considerable army, though consisting mostly of recruits, soon moved from Campania towards the capital. Other bands approached it from the north.
Shuffles was almost overwhelmed with astonishment to find that one who was a model of fidelity and propriety had actually joined the Chain. "Shuffles, I voted for you the other day," added Paul. "I know you did." "I wish to change my vote." "Change it!" exclaimed Shuffles. "Yes? I voted in the dark. I wish now to vote for the other candidate." "For whom?" "For Pelham, of course."

The familiar examples of the heroic fidelity of Daniel and his friends to the demands of their religion and ritual were supremely well adapted to arouse a similar resistance toward the demands of a tyrant who was attempting to stamp out the Jewish, religion and transform the chosen people into a race of apostates.
It made me impatient to reach the age when I should be eligible to attend the class at school called 'Philosophy.
