I exclaimed, incredulously, half refusing to see, in that placid matron, the ceaseless plotter, the woman accused of poisoning and all manner of bloodshed, whom the name represented. "Catherine de Medici," said De Rilly, evidently finding it a pleasure to instruct a newcomer as to the personages and mysteries of the court. "She who preserves the royal power in France at this moment."
Will was peculiarly uneasy: it seemed to him not like Dorothea that the mere fact of her being a widow should cause such a change in her manner of receiving him; and he knew of no other condition which could have affected their previous relation to each other except that, as his imagination at once told him, her friends might have been poisoning her mind with their suspicions of him.
We have seen how President Andrew Jackson some thirty years before, had stamped out Nullification and Disunion in South Carolina, with an iron heel. But a weak and feeble old man still suffering from the effects of the mysterious National Hotel poisoning was now in the Executive Chair at the White House.
I was a good bit more cheerful when I'd choked down the sandwich, especially when he assured me the water was all right "a little high, as you might say, but not poisonous.

Such a scheme as this seemed to smack of madness. "You think it cannot be done, my friends? England has done greater feats before."

Of course, death from gas poisoning is not unusual, but I suppose the natives have become somewhat immune to its effects. Our destination was a tiny village in the mountains about eight miles beyond Ho-shun, a city of considerable size in the very center of the province.
