Edward, who was already living on very confidential terms with him, told him that "if the Flemings were minded to help him to keep up the war and go with him whithersoever he would take them, they should aid him to recover Lille, Douai, and Béthune, then occupied by the King of France.
Each one of us thought he himself was talented beyond the ordinary, so the cook never wanted assistance except perhaps in the preparing of breakfast. Food was good and plentiful, while the monotony of army rations was broken by supplies from home and from Béthune. George, thank heaven, was still with us.
The Germans also had the advantage of an armored train, which they ran along the tracks from La Bassée almost into Bethune, sufficiently close to throw considerable shell fire into this town. The Germans advanced in close formation, throwing hand grenades.
These dago half-breeds are a revengeful lot." "I'm not in the town often and I'll be careful if I go there after dark. To tell the truth, I didn't want to interfere, but I couldn't let the rogues go on with their stealing." "I suppose not," Bethune agreed. "The trouble about doing your duty is that it often costs you something."
"I like a good job, but it's going to cost high if you mean to turn out a work of art," he said. "However, if Bethune thinks the notion all right, I suppose I'll have to consent." Dick colored, and wondered whether he had been given a hint, for Bethune was his superior and a man of ability. "He doesn't object, sir." "That's good," Fuller replied with a twinkle.

Stocks for their honorary secretary, and soon collected funds for the purpose.
Smith," said Mrs. Bethune. "Alice has been trying to spur me into a fight. I don't want to throw a lance in. Now you can be my substitute." "Mr. Smith," said Alice impetuously, "don't you think that women ought to have the same rights as men?" "Really, Miss Alice, I I don't know. When women have got what they call their 'rights, do they expect to keep what they call their 'privileges' also?"
Howe: How many times did you visit her? Dr. Kennedy: Eight or ten times. Mr. Howe: Was Hemmings in the room with her? Dr. Kennedy: He was. Mr. Howe then applied for attachments against two witnesses who had been subpoenaed to prove that Mrs. Bethune had been at the Whitney House and the Washington Hotel with Hemmings, but Judge Russel declined to grant any time, and peremptorily ordered Mr.
"Yes; that is true," says Captain Marryatt. "I hate hunting and I like hiding," says Tita. "Colonel Neilson, you and Margaret can be our pursuers this time. Come, Tom! come, all of you!" Mrs. Bethune for a moment frowns, and then a quick light comes back to her eyes. Even better so if Maurice should arrive.
The first Presbyterian congregation in Montreal consisted of a small group of Scottish settlers. It was organised without a church building in 1786 by the Rev. John Bethune, who ministered to its members from March 12th in that year until he moved to Upper Canada in May, 1787. But it was but a temporary organisation and had no continuous status.
