He was offered his life, provided he would betray his comrades; but he told the big-wigs, who wanted him to do so, that he would see them farther first, and died at Tyburn, amidst the cheers of the populace, leaving my grandmother and father, to whom he had always been a kind husband and parent for, setting aside the crime for which he suffered, he was a moral man; leaving them, I say, to bewail his irreparable loss.
But his companion a young enthusiast, secretly very critical of "big-wigs" was conscious only of the trained man of affairs, courteous, methodical, and well-informed, putting a series of preliminary questions with unusual point and rapidity. Suddenly, under the influence of a common impression, both men stood still and looked about them. There was a stir in the street.
As I entered, on the stroke of five, he was spinning a spiral twist of paper beneath the lamplight to amuse his daughter he a member of the Institute, she a girl of eighteen. So that is how these big-wigs employ their leisure moments!
Forgotten altogether; or recognized, like Rollin and others, for polished dullards, university big-wigs, and long-winded commonplace persons, deserving nothing but oblivion. No notice of Montesquieu; nor of some others, the absence of whom is a little unexpected. Probably it was want of knowledge mainly; for his appetite was not fastidious at this time.
Jarvis was outside and collared him, but thought he was Russell's son-in-law, ho, ho, ho! and let him off, ho, ho, ho! Tell ye, Jarvis feels thunderin' small 'bout it. Ha'n't been reound this mornin'." "Well, I'll leave my warrant with your big-wigs, and come after my man when they've got through with him," said the New York detective, turning away.

I don't know that he had ever taken up political science seriously, or that he had any preference for one kind or form of government over another. I repeat, his radicalism was that of a humorist. He despised big-wigs, and pomp of all sorts, and, above all, humbug and formalism.
Essnousee, with all our people, descended from their camels to pay their respects to these big-wigs, and made them a present of some crushed Sockna dates, called Krum. Here new cavalry horses were feeding, attended by the Nitham, or new troops. The Turks in Tripoli have but one small troop of horse.
It was Ham's time-honored custom to tease his aunt, and while she snorted and sniffed, she enjoyed it, for whatever she thought of a Babylonian life, she secretly worshiped this brilliant young nephew who so well fitted its stress and turmoil. "Were you down-stairs at dinner tonight, flirting with the grand dukes and big-wigs?" he demanded as he kissed her pale cheek.
He nodded to her with his masterful, affectionate look. And before she could find words again he had resumed. "He could give you a great position. Don't despise it. We English big-wigs have a good time." A ghostly, humorous ray shot out upon her; then he felt for her hand. "Dear Julie, why won't you?"
