They made their attack not as on men, or at least men in arms, but, what must appear wonderful in the relation, began by snatching the standards out of the hands which held them; and then, the standard-bearers themselves were dragged to the consul, and the armed soldiers transferred from the one line to the other; and wherever resistance was any where made, the business was performed, not so much with swords, as with their shields, with the bosses of which, and thrusts of their elbows, they bore down the foe.
Moreover, she was clad all in white samite from top to toe and her garments were embroidered with silver; and the trappings and garniture of her horse were of white samite studded with bright silver bosses, wherefore, because of this silver, she glistered with a sudden lustre whensoever she moved a little.
He says he wants to do the state one patriotic service before he dies by cleaning out the bosses, and he doesn't want to spoil the record by taking the senatorship himself. Meanwhile Bassett stands fast and there's no telling when he'll break through Thatcher's lines." "Thatcher was here to see me to-day the third time. He won't come back. You know what he's after?" said Ware.
Joe House was the "big shout" at the Tilden; Dick Kelly could be found every evening on the third or "wine," or plotting floor of the Blaine found holding court.

But nevertheless Frank's stern command to "shut up" and not make a foot of himself brought him to his senses and he said no more till the stillness was broken by a sudden cry from above. "Bosses oh, bosses." "Ahoy there; castaways!" Frank looked up. The cry of joy he gave set the echoes flying in the gloomy canyon.
And he perceived that there was but one door to this chamber and that the door was bound with iron and studded with great bosses of wrought iron, and when he tried that door he found that it was locked. So Sir Launcelot was aware from these things that he was a prisoner though not a prisoner in a hard case and he wist not how he had come thither nor what had happened to him.
