She dried her tears, and in grateful and fervid terms expressed the deep obligations she owed him for his generous and! persevering exertions in seeking out and restoring her son.

Actually, a much greater preference was given to the children of officers. Examinations were given periodically for the purpose of recruiting new members for the elite officers' corps, and any citizen could take the examination once.
Granger brought his young wife home. It was October again, and the weather bleaker and colder than one had a right to expect in October.

"Are not you a servant of Sir Harry Benson's?" "No, sir." "You'll pardon me, young man; I judged by the favour in your hat." "Sir, I'm his majesty's servant, God bless him! and these favours we always wear when we are recruiting."
