The pathos with which Lord Cashel terminated his speech and it was one the thrilling effect of which he intended to be overwhelming almost restored Lord Kilcullen to his accustomed effrontery. "My lord," he said, "I did not consider myself of sufficient importance to have delayed your dinner ten minutes."
Major White had, in his subaltern days, been despatched from Gibraltar on a business quest into the interior of Spain to buy mules there for his Queen and country. He fell out with a dealer at Ronda, whom he knocked down, and returned to Gibraltar branded as unbusiness-like and hasty, and there his commercial enterprise had terminated.
This was before his last visit to America, where he contracted the illness which terminated in his death soon after his return to England. When the Franco-Prussian War broke out, the sympathy of Ireland was naturally, for historic reasons, on the side of France.

The history of Filmer's work was remarkable. It was composed and published in the heat of the struggle between King Charles the First and the Commons of England, which terminated in the overthrow of the monarchy, and in the death of King Charles upon the scaffold. It was the theory of government on which the cause of the house of Stuart was sustained.
Thus terminated the examination of this hitherto unexplored part of the coast, which had been the field of many years' speculation.
The substantial advantage, however, remained with the Parthians. The Romans, both in the East and at the capital, were flattered by a show of submission; but the Orientals must have concluded that the long struggle had terminated in an acknowledgment by Rome of Parthia as the stronger power.
