To loiter thus, when mortal blows should be struck, was to give the Spanish government exactly that of which it was always most gluttonous time; and the Netherlanders had none of it to spare.
In their original habitat on the great northern plains was located the celebrated "red pipe-stone quarry," a relatively limited area, owned by all tribes, but occupied permanently by none; a purely neutral ground so designated by the Great Spirit where no war could possibly occur, and where mortal enemies might meet to procure the material for their pipes, but the hatchet was invariably buried during that time on the consecrated spot.
When the martyr reached the scaffold he declared to the people that he was put to death for no crime but that of confessing with boldness his Master and Saviour Jesus Christ. "As to those who hold the pope to be God upon earth and vicar of Jesus Christ," he said, "they are strangely mistaken, seeing that in everything he shows himself to be a mortal enemy of Christ's doctrine and service."
A wide blue ribbon kept her wealth of jet black hair in order as it hung down her back and the squeaking of her little shoes drew attention to the fact that they were new and in the fashion. "It's a mortal pity she's a girl," said Bridget, "bekase she might hev been an althar boy before she goes."

But against the opinion of more thinking men, who considered Sir Philip Forester as having thrown himself out of the rank of men of honour, Captain Falconer admitted him to the privilege of such, accepted a challenge from him, and in the rencounter received a mortal wound.

But the infliction of death for man-stealing exacted the utmost possibility of reparation. It wrung from the guilty wretch as he gave up the ghost, the testimony of blood, and death-groans, to the infinite dignity and worth of man, a proclamation to the universe, voiced in mortal agony, "MAN IS INVIOLABLE." a confession shrieked in phrenzy at the grave's mouth "I die accursed, and God is just."
Nothing could be more terrible than the attitude of these two men as they stood confronting each other. The banker's face was almost purple with suppressed anger, and he looked as if about to be struck by apoplexy. Prosper was as pale and motionless as a corpse. Silent and immovable, they stood glaring at each other with mortal hatred.

Well, I was never over-modest in my tastes, you know, and I thought that the daughter of the King of France was about right for me.
