The people listened to these words and let go the ladies, who thanked D'Artagnan with an eloquent look. "Now! onward!" cried the Gascon. And they continued their way, crossing the barricades, getting the chains about their legs, pushed about, questioning and questioned. In the place of the Palais Royal D'Artagnan saw a sergeant, who was drilling six or seven hundred citizens.
From his waistcoat pocket he took out a slip of chewing gum, unwrapped it, and placed the mint-flavoured wafer between his large white teeth. He bit upon it savagely, settled his hat upon his head, and, turning, walked toward the door. In the doorway he paused. "Come with me, Durham," he said. "I am leaving the conduct of the case entirely in your hands from now onward."
As the car of revolution rolled onward, carrying King Louis to the scaffold, they felt the hot breath of avenging justice upon their own foreheads, and they called out their legions for defence and to utter a solemn and effective protest. The people were awed in the presence of gleaming bayonets. In the autumn of 1792, nearly all Europe was in arms against France.
So much pressure could not but produce some displacement. As Grace was left very much to herself, she took advantage of one fine day before Fitzpiers's return to drive into the aforesaid vale where stood the village of Buckbury Fitzpiers. Leaving her father's man at the inn with the horse and gig, she rambled onward to the ruins of a castle, which stood in a field hard by.

He no longer knew where he was, what he thought, or whether he were dreaming. He went forward, walking, running, taking any street at haphazard, making no choice, only urged ever onward away from the Greve, the horrible Greve, which he felt confusedly, to be behind him. In this manner he skirted Mount Sainte-Genevieve, and finally emerged from the town by the Porte Saint-Victor.
They had a full four miles walk before them; but the professor had an ample old cotton umbrella that sheltered both himself and his pupil; so they trudged manfully onward, cheering the way with lively talk instead of overshadowing it with complaints.
His words sank deep into the hearts of his people, they were carried beyond the bounds of that council-fire, they went gliding along with the light canoe that plied the Lakes, and were wafted onward by the waters of the Ohio and Mississippi. Several causes contributed to give direction and force to this movement.
"I will search the broad earth till I find a path up to the sun, or some kind friend who will carry me; for, alas! I have no wings, and cannot glide through the blue air as through the sea," said Ripple to herself, as she went dancing over the waves, which bore her swiftly onward towards a distant shore.
Onward she sped, never turning her veiled face to the right or left, until she slackened her pace under the gloomy cornices of the Dry Dock Bank. The policeman sprang into a dark hallway as she passed, holding his breath lest the shy bird should take alarm.
