Bennington, bewildered by this unexpected succor. "Nearly eighteen hundred dollars." "That will be more than I want." "You need not take any more than you need; I think the hidden treasure meets your case better than if I had not found the heirs so soon." "I declare, I feel as if a ten-ton weight had been lifted from the top of my head!" exclaimed the landlord.
Bradley half raised his rifle to fire again and then lowered it with a shake of his head. Tippet was beyond succor why waste a bullet that Caspak could never replace? If he could now escape the further notice of the monster it would be a wiser act than to throw his life away in futile revenge.
Love is patient toward those who have lost fidelity, as a man loses a golden coin; who have lost morality as one who flounders in the Alpine drifts. And this religion of love takes on a thousand modern forms. If it is not rowing out against the darkness and storm, as did Grace Darling to save the shipwrecked, it is going forth to those tossed upon life's billows, to succor and to save.
I know she will be terrified; but then, to reassure her, I shall explain to her that I leave her a friend, another myself, ready, like myself, to assist her at her first summons, and ready, like myself, to run any danger in order to succor her.
Turned to the men an agonized questioning took its place. It spoke to them like a cry, a cry of weakness, a cry for succor. It was the first admission of their strength she had ever made, the first look upon them which had said, "You are men, I am a woman. Help me." They carried the doctor to the banks of the stream and laid him on a spread robe.

"Marcia was a foundling and brought up by Hyacinthus, therefore, legally a slave of Quadratus. "Quadratus saw her and took a fancy to her.
At the same time Charles had been doing all he could to succor Moos, and had written the memorable letter which had fallen into Alva's hands on the capture of Genlis, and which expressed such a fixed determination to inflict a deadly blow upon the King, whom the writer was thus endeavouring to cajole. All this the Governor recalled to the recollection of his sovereign.
Now it seems, as I have heard it said by those who knew, and, later, have seen it printed, that immediately the messengers from the besieged fort stated the purpose of their coming, General Schuyler, eager to send Colonel Gansevoort all the succor he might, called a council of war to decide upon what should be done, when, greatly to his surprise, he found that the members of his staff were bitterly opposed to weakening the force then at Stillwater by sending any away, even on so important a mission as that of aiding the beleaguered garrison.

'Seek first the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you." And he reproves their sins, exhorts them to repentance, and ordains processions, masses, and prayers. Vaudreuil bustled and boasted.
His strength had gone long ago, and now all his courage went too. With his gratitude there mingled a cowardly joy that he had not been left to fight things out alone and be beaten, that succor had come at the supreme moment. Ardently admiring as well as fervently thanking, he watched the friend in need, the splendid ally, the only agent of Providence that could have saved him.
