During these eventful five years, the history of which we are yet to trace, the bearing of successive British ministries towards the United States was usually uncompromising, often arrogant, sometimes insolent, hard even now to read with composure; but in the imminent danger of their country, during a period of complicated emergencies, they held, with cool heads, and with steady hands on the helm, a course taken in full understanding of world conditions, and with a substantially just forecast of the future.

"Will you surrender?" came in the harsh and arrogant voice of the renegade. "Never! Go back to your squaws!" yelled Sullivan. "I am Capt. Pratt of the Queen's Rangers.
Then, clearing his throat, he drew himself up, and, raising his voice, asked how she dared to assail this gallant nobleman with such abominable, arrogant, and insulting words. But he was to wait an answer in vain, for, with the brief declaration that she had not come to be lectured like a schoolgirl, Barbara banged the door behind her.
Chancellor Khane, he knew, was a stupid and arrogant old windbag with a swollen sense of his own importance.
