The utmost horror had been expressed at the idea of attempting independence; and the most anxious desire of re-establishing the union which had so long subsisted between the two countries on its ancient principles, was openly and generally declared.

Vincent did not know the intimacy that had subsisted between her ladyship and Miss Portman she sighed from the recollection of Clarence Hervey, and of all that had passed at the masquerade.

Winter at last parted the two armies, and during the next six months James, whose treasury was utterly exhausted, strove to fill it by a coinage of brass money while his soldiers subsisted by sheer plunder.
