"Nor am I in the habit of having it questioned by colonial striplings," he added insultingly. "Nor am I " began Philemon, heatedly; but Janice checked him by laying her free hand on his arm. "'T is naught to take umbrage at, Phil," she said dissuadingly, "and do not by quarrelling over a foolish nothing spoil my pleasure in seeing you." "That I'll not," acceded the major, heartily.
With an anxious desire to avoid a rupture between the two countries, we forbore for years to assert our clear rights by force, and continued to seek redress for the wrongs we had suffered by amicable negotiation in the hope that Mexico might yield to pacific counsels and the demands of justice.
