"You are a fine pair of patriots, I swear," said Claiborne. "What in the devil do you want with John Armitage?" "He is a menace to a great throne an impostor a " Chauvenet's eyes swept with a swift glance the cloak, the sword, the scattered orders.
Governor Claiborne, being duly invested with the powers heretofore exercised by the governor and intendant of Louisiana, assumed the government on the same day, and for the maintenance of law and order immediately issued the proclamation and address now communicated.
And they were indeed set against the Lord Baltimore. Claiborne would head the Puritans of Providence; and a troop should be raised in Virginia and march northward. The Commissioners actually advanced upon St. Mary's, and with so superior a force that Stone surrendered, and a Puritan Government was inaugurated. A Puritan Assembly met, debarring any Catholics.

It was with the greatest difficulty that Cleggett repressed a start. Another man might have shown the shock he felt.
"I read in the Neue Freie Presse a while ago that Charles Louis is showing an unexpected capacity for affairs. It is reported, too, that an heir is in prospect. The Winkelried conspiracy is only a bad dream and we may safely turn to other affairs." "Yes; but the margin by which we escaped is too narrow to contemplate." "We have a saying that a miss is as good as a mile," remarked Judge Claiborne.
Armitage, intent with his own affairs, had not looked at Claiborne for several minutes, but he glanced at him now as though just recalling a duty. "Lord, man! I didn't mean to throw you into the road! There's a clean bed in there that you're welcome to go in and get some sleep."

In the Claiborne garden, beyond and below, he saw a flash of white here and there among the dark green hedges. He paused, leaned against a pillar, and waited until Shirley crossed one of the walks and passed slowly on, intent upon the rose trees; and he saw or thought he saw the sun searching out the gold in her brown hair. She was hatless.
Down on Bayou Road, not so far from Claiborne Street, was a house, little and old and queer, but quite large enough to hold M'sieu Fortier, a wrinkled dame, and a white cat.
Durand continued to curse things visible and invisible as he rubbed his leg, while Claiborne watched him impatiently. "If you start to run I'll certainly kill you, Monsieur." "We have met, my dear sir, under unfortunate circumstances. You should not take it too much to heart about the potato sack. It was the fault of my dear colleagues.
"Then let us leave him in peace! We can't decently linger in the presence of his sacred sorrow." Captain Richard Claiborne and his sister Shirley had stopped at Geneva to spend a week with a younger brother, who was in school there, and were to join their father and mother at Liverpool and sail for home at once.
