These accused him at court of being a comforter and harbourer of thieves, the result being that he was deprived not only of the commission of the peace, but of the captaincy of Kilgarran, which the Earl of Pembroke, through his influence with his half-brother, procured for himself.
It will be better than presenting myself before the Minister in these rags! I suppose you have got your captaincy by this time? 'Six months ago! They talked on, and Ugo explained that he was to be taken to the hospital of the White Sisters soon after eight o'clock. 'I shall go with you, Giovanni answered, 'and see you installed in your room. The Minister does not want me till twelve o'clock.
It will be far better to marry on your pay and you will surely get your captaincy in a few months than to be stranded without even that, in case you do not find the work you hope for. Don't you see? I am sure it is good advice. Giovanni knew that it was, if caution were ever worth practising in human affairs; but that has often been doubted by brave and light-hearted men.
If this incident is credible, a youth who in four days can talk the chains off his wrists, talk himself into the captaincy, talk a pirate ship into his own hands as booty, is not to be accounted for by his eloquent words. His speech was but a tithe of his power, and wrought its spell only when personality had first created a sympathetic atmosphere.
I'm afraid it will be a long time before he is well again." "Let's see, who is taking his place?" "Captain Tremaine. Didn't you know? Promotions are rapid in these days." "Oh, he has got his captaincy, has he? By the way, there is something else I want to ask you," and Bob, knowing that Proctor had spent some time in Germany, spoke to him in German.
Sheridan was a first lieutenant in the regiment in which I had served eleven years, the 4th infantry, and stationed on the Pacific coast when the war broke out. He was promoted to a captaincy in May, 1861, and before the close of the year managed in some way, I do not know how, to get East. He went to Missouri.
Hence, this sailor-soldier in a comparatively short time attracted a good deal of attention among the naval and military authorities; so it was not surprising that when he applied for a permanent commission in the British Army he was given a captaincy in the Queen's Royal West Surrey Regiment.
In some cases promotion was rapid, in others it was slow. Saint Cyr, the son of a tanner of Toul, began life as an actor, after which he enlisted in the Chasseurs, and was promoted to a captaincy within a year.
Such was the boy on whom, according to strict rule, the captaincy of Willoughby would devolve, and it need hardly be said that the discovery spread consternation wherever it travelled. Among the seniors the idea was hardly taken seriously. "The doctor would never be so ridiculous," said Ashley to Coates, as they talked the matter over in the study of the former.
Winnington recognised a Maumsey man, whom he had befriended in various ways, who owed his place indeed in the Metropolitan force to Winnington's good word. "Hullo, Hewson how are you? Flourishing?" The man's face beamed again. He was thinking of a cricket match the year before under Winnington's captaincy. Like every member of the eleven, he would have faced "death and damnation" for the captain.
