Within a week," she resumed, in a voice hoarse from exertion. "Yes, within a week, Gerald, he will be here perhaps to deride and contemn you for the choice you have made." "Within a week he dies," exclaimed the youth. "Matilda, come what will, he dies. Life is death without you, and with you even crime may sit lightly on my soul. But we will fly far from the habitations of man.
And, indeed, I would have no man contemn the secret hints and intimations of danger, which very often are given, when he may imagine there is no possibility of its being real; for had I not been warned by this silent admonition, I had been in a worse situation than before, and perhaps inevitably ruined.

The calamities of others afford us abundant examples; let us not seek how we may render ourselves an example to others. Do not, because the Romans voluntarily desire your friendship, contemn that which you ought to have prayed for, nay, laboured with all your might to obtain.
Napoleon had by this time come to be anything but a Jacobin in his political sentiments: his habits of command; his experience of the narrow and ignorant management of the Directory; his personal intercourse with the ministers of sovereign powers; his sense daily strengthened by events, that whatever good was done in Italy proceeded from his own skill and the devotion of his army, all these circumstances conspired to make him respect himself and contemn the government, almost in despite of which he had conquered kingdoms for France.
"And what is signified by the dove and fish and anchor round it?" asked Arsinoe. "They are emblems of the mysteries of the Christians," replied Pollux.
