So at the expiration of two days I seized a tin plate and went to the chief's daughter and I said to her in a silvery voice in a kind of German-silvery voice I said "Sweet child of the forest, the pale-face wants his dog." There was nothing but his paws! I had paused too long! Which reminds me that time passes. A way which time has. I was told in my youth to seize opportunity.

Grigsby had been pretty smart, to seize on that boat when he did, for the awning leaked, in spots, and many of the passengers found themselves getting wet. From the Yucatan Channel the Georgia crossed off the mouth of the large Honduras River, which opened into the Gulf of Honduras, on the line between Mexico and Central America.
Sir Alexander Ball sent for his senior lieutenant, and gave him orders to proceed immediately to the port of Messina, and there to seize and bring with him to Malta the ships laden with corn, of the number of which Sir Alexander had received accurate information.
My fellow Americans, the state of our union is strong, but now we must rise to the decisive moment, to make a nation and a world better than any we have ever known.

At last she said, "No!" which, howbeit, the worshipful court would not believe, and bade the executioner seize her again, whereupon she answered, "Yes!" Q. Whether she had found the devil hot or cold? R. She did not remember which. Q. Whether she had ever conceived by Satan, and given birth to a changeling, and of what shape? R. No, never.
For a moment the girl trembled, and Enderby felt her hands grow cold in his own, for she had a quick and sensitive nature and passionate intelligence and imagination. "Father," she cried pantingly, indignantly, "the King would make thee an outlaw, would seize upon thy estates, because thou wouldst not pay the price of a paltry knighthood!"
This was simply prudence on their part, since they knew there was the best reason for believing the whites would instantly seize any advantage offered them. Captain Shirril now did an exceedingly clever thing.
