The same wave wrenched the child from the grasp of the man who held it and carried it right overboard. Like an eel, rather than a man, Charlie cleft the foam close behind her, caught her by the skirt and bore her to the surface, when a few strokes of his free arm brought him close under the lee of the wreck just in time to prevent the agonised father from leaping after his child.

While the power of the Roman Empire was declining there dwelt on the banks of the River Rhine a number of savage Teuton tribes called Franks.

We had but one gate unbeleaguered, the Chapel Gate, leading to Choisy and the north-east.

His name's been well bestowed on him the very word, Herrraskov! Lomonosov Punin found fault with for too simple and free a style; while to Derzhavin he maintained an attitude almost of hostility, saying that he was more of a courtier than a poet.

"He had no other way to discharge it; a debt of honour must be paid, old stories these. What matters? Since then my purse has been open to you." "Yes, not as your sister, but your instrument, your spy! Yes, your purse has been open with a niggard hand." "/Un peu de conscience, ma chere/, you are so extravagant. But come, be plain. What would you?" "I would be free from you."
