"Jim!" protested Laura. "Yes, I do," he insisted hotly; "you bet!" "That wouldn't pay, would it?" "No; they're not worth the job of sitting on that throne in Sing Sing, and I'm too poor to go to Matteawan.

Commander-in- chief at the outset was Sir Francis Vere, who established himself by the middle of July in the place, sent thither by order of the States-General.
The evidence of Secretary Vane, though exposed to such unsurmountable objections, was the real cause of Strafford' unhappy fate; and made the bill of attainder pass the commons with no greater opposition than that of fifty-nine dissenting votes.
