Outnumbered, outgeneralled, bankrupt in health as in reputation, he soon resigned his command, but not before he had given signs of "downright dotage." He had, however, achieved immortality: his incapacity threw into brilliant relief the genius of his young antagonist, and therefore appreciably affected the fortunes of Italy and of Europe.
"Well," replies Laura, rising, "I suppose the best wish of all is that you may not regret your step in haste." "It was not so hasty as that," and he laughs, with the flavor of one who has won.

Then there was a flock of robins dipping southward. There was also the railroad.

The widow sweetened the business by a feeble protest, and the Earl of Barfield was lordly with ner.
And there were others as great as these; and the women who for years outwitted Mazarin and outgeneralled Condé are deserving of a stronger praise than they have yet obtained, even from the classic and courtly Cousin. What men of that age eclipsed or equalled the address and daring of those delicate and highborn women? What a romance was their ordinary existence!
But the queen outwitted, outgeneralled, and outlived, him; English soldiers and sailors, assisted. by their Dutch comrades in arms, accomplished on the shores of Spain what the Invincible Armada had in vain essayed against England and Holland; while England, following thenceforth the opposite system to that of absolutism and the Inquisition, became, after centuries of struggles towards the right, the most powerful, prosperous, and enlightened kingdom in the world.
