"Mr. Breckenbridge," the cattle-buyer said as the two palms met, "is here on civil business." The eyes of Curly Bill resumed their normal shape. His fingers tightened over the deputy's. "Howdy," he said. "What yo' going to have?"
And so he hired him a cabriolet, and drove in all haste to the house of Billaud Varennes, the Deputy, from whom he sought to obtain one of the two signatures still needed by his order of release. He was disappointed at learning that Varennes was not at home though, had he been able to peep an hour or so into the future, he would have offered up thanks to Heaven for that same Deputy's absence.
When I reached that building, I stepped out of the carriage, and, with my son in my hand, I walked into the Court, to the great astonishment of as snug a little band as ever assembled to perform such a little job, to assess damages upon a writ of inquiry. The Sheriffs deputy's deputy, Mr.
Then he went down to the deputy's study, opened one of the windows ajar and returned to the third floor and fixed his rope-ladder so that, in case of need, he could reach the study without passing though the house.

Russell's administration lasted till May, 1597.

The queen was dissatisfied. She sent Essex letters of complaint and censure. These letters awakened the lord deputy's resentment.
These people now recommend fashions by saying one thing is invented by Tallien's wife, and another by Merlin de Thionville, or some other Deputy's mistress; and the genius of these elegantes has contrived, by a mode of dressing the hair which lengthens the neck, and by robes with an inch of waist, to give their countrywomen an appearance not much unlike that of a Bar Gander.

Sidney, taking the field in person, marched through Waterford and Dungarvan against Desmond's strongholds in the vicinity of Youghal.
It seemed as if she were on the point of fainting. Eveline immediately smiled tenderly on M. Ceres. The Alcan deputy's speech had a great vogue. In political "spheres" it was regarded as extremely able. "We have at last heard an honest pronouncement," said the chief Moderate journal. "It is a regular programme!" they said in the House.
