There are, here and there, evil and baseless rumors against the Russians rumors against the British rumors against our own American commanders in the field.
The spell snapped; it was all over; an interval of agonizing doubt of days passed in miserable journeys to gain tidings, of hopes that took firmer root even as they were more baseless was changed to the certainty of the death that eclipsed all happiness for the survivors for evermore.

He vas essentially thoughtless, betrays everywhere a most effeminate quality of sensibility, and is the sport of that pseudo-enthusiasm and baseless rapture which we see so often allied with the excitement of strong liquors.
