To go up to him, to tell him all she was feeling in this critical struggle for life or death, seemed impossible; but as the Vekeel began to disclose to their judges matters which concerned only herself and her lover, every impulse prompted her to interpose and, in this fateful hour, to do her friend such service as she once, like a coward, had shrank from.
Sleepinbuff found the John Bull's idea so amusingly eccentric, that, for the first time since a very long period, he burst into a peal of hearty laughter. Morok, pale with rage, rushed towards him with so menacing an air, that Goliath was obliged to interpose. "Come, come," said Jacques, "don't be angry; if it is serious, I will not laugh any more."
Then as if unwillingly forced to say something he did it as ungraciously as possible. "Again I say I grieve to proceed to harsh measures, but" then as she was about to interpose he broke out irritably, "God bless my soul, Mrs. Blaine, how can you expect anything else!

For if you would keep the field and yet avoid battle, the only safe course is to interpose a distance of at least fifty miles between you and your enemy, and afterwards to maintain so vigilant a look-out, that should he advance you will have time to make your retreat.
