In addition I'll say, for your rejoicing, that I give in, cave, subside, have nothing more to say against your pet theory, from this moment swear myself a rank abolitionist, or anything else you please, now and forever, so help me all ye black gods and goddesses!" "Phew! what's all this?" cried Whittlesly, from the other side of his Colonel; "what are you driving at?

A band of five men stood off, one dark night, and saw with evident satisfaction the curling flames ascend above his barn, from girder to roof, and lap and lash their angry tongues in wild license, until every vestige of the building was consumed.
