Menaces that his post should be taken away from him, terms the most severe and the most unusual, rained upon Courtenvaux, who, fainting with fright, and ready to sink under the ground, had neither the time nor the means to prefer a word. The reprimand finished by the King saying, "Get out." He had scarcely the strength to obey.
After our Army and Navy had remained on the frontier and coasts of Mexico for many weeks without any hostile movement on her part, though her menaces were continued, I deemed it important to put an end, if possible, to this state of things.
'Let God arise and let His enemies be scattered. The warnings and menaces of what are called the Imprecatory Psalms show us plainly that His enemies must be ours." He closed his book, and came to shiver over the very inadequate fire which was all he allowed himself. Every shilling that he could put aside was being saved in order to provide his church with a new set of altar furniture.
"I did." "When?" "When you knocked Sol Burton down; that man meant me harm. I could have defended myself against him, but a greater peril menaces me to-night." "What peril menaces you?"

M. le Prince himself supported us having no longer any hope for himself, and fearing, above all things, M. de Mantua's marriage with a Lorraine and did all he could to persuade Madame de Lesdiguieres to give in.
Dan went to his bureau and took out his father's old pistol, that had done duty in the West India trade years ago, when pirates were not romantic memories but genuine menaces. "Sh!" whispered Dan as he opened the door. "Let's blow out the candle. It's moonlight, and we will be safer without it. Be careful as you go down stairs not to wake Mother and Nancy."
"Well, then? since reasons, prayers, and menaces are all in vain," said Adrienne gathering energy from her desperate position, "I declare to you that I will go out and that instantly. We will see if you are bold enough to employ force against me." So saying, Adrienne advanced resolutely towards the door.
