The Czar declared on March second, in response to an inquiry from Vienna, that if Austria should begin a war he would fulfil his obligations to Napoleon; but six weeks later, seeing how determined was the war sentiment at Vienna, and how complete were the preparations of Francis, it seemed best to throw an anchor to windward, and he so far modified his attitude as to explain that in the event of war he would not put his strength into any blow he might aim at Austria.
"It would be so much precious time lost. We can pull well enough if we have the will. The grog would not give you any real strength, and you'd be as thirsty as before a few minutes afterwards. Can't one of you strike up a tune, and see if that don't help us along." There was no response to this appeal, so Tom himself at once began shouting a no very melodious ditty.
This response, which Dolores heard distinctly, was only another proof of the promises Philip had made to Antoinette. These promises, consecrated as they had been by the blessing of the Abbé Peretty, beside the deathbed of the Marquis de Chamondrin, seemed of so sacred a nature in the eyes of Antoinette that she really felt it her duty to treat Philip as if their marriage was an accomplished fact.
In response the lad ran down, leaped on the ice, and said pleasantly, "Your pleasure, sir. Did you call me?" "Can you drive a ball for me?" asked Philip; "if so, I'll promise you a shilling for an hour of your time."
The Honourable Hilary grunted in response. "Be'n on another wild expedition, I suppose." "I went up Sawanec to stretch my legs a little," Austen answered, sitting down beside his father. "Funny," remarked the Honourable Hilary, "I never had this mania for stretchin' my legs after I was grown."
I felt a devilish impulse to make the same response the soldier did on that October night in 1863, but the war was over, no comrades were on hand to back me, so I prudently refrained. Louis, reaching there on the afternoon of October 27th. Here all except myself left on the Chicago, Alton and St.
Crockett was then called up, as the "undeviating supporter of the Constitution and the laws." In response to this toast, he says,
Of my soul let us not speak." Nevertheless, when Enriquez appeared with Chu Chu she ran towards her with outstretched arms. Chu Chu protruded about six inches of upper lip in response apparently under the impression, which I could quite understand, that her mistress was edible. And, I may have been mistaken, but their beautiful eyes met in an absolute and distinct glance of intelligence!
He was too much afraid of losing him to go out for dinner. By three in the afternoon he had grown impatient. He went to the house next door and rang the bell. There was no response. He thundered another appeal. An old woman with a cloth about her head answered the door. She was very deaf, and Boyce had difficulty in making himself understood. "The family is in the country," was all she would say.
To this sentiment there was a most cordial response. Before rising from table the photograph of the host was presented to each guest. I requested that his autograph be put upon ours, that we could insert it in our albums among the eminent men we met. He replied that he must then go at the very end, because he had not on his Mandarin hat.
