Joseph Bonaparte, who in 1797, from an attorney's clerk at Ajaccio, in Corsica, was at once transformed into an Ambassador to the Court of Rome, had hardly read a treaty, or seen a despatch written, before he was himself to conclude the one, and to dictate the other.
He was going to dictate it, but in the end Mitchell wrote it all. Here it is." With that he put his hand into his pocket, drew out an envelope and handed it to her. "How awfully good of you," she said gratefully. "Do excuse my reading it at once, won’t you? You see, I’ve been so anxious about—about my brother."
I am very glad indeed, M. Bourget; for it was just that little wee thing that caused the whole difficulty and made you dictate the Reply, and your amanuensis call me all those hard names which the magazines dislike so. And I did it all in fun, too, trying to cap your funny anecdote with another one on the give-and-take principle, you know which is American.
The second-hand book business among the students began from this effort on my part to add to my little pile of cash money. Having completed the course with a class of thirty-one members, May 26, 1896, I started straight for my home, Meridian, Miss. For six years, as a student, I had been at Tuskegee and under its influences; now I had only my conscience to dictate to me and to keep me straight.
Most of the new Norman countships and dukedoms thus created in Italy had declared themselves fiefs of the Church; and the successor of the Apostle might well hope, by aid of the Norman priest-knights, to extend his sovereignty over Italy, and then dictate to the kings beyond the Alps. The aid of Hildebrand in behalf of William's claims was obtained at once by Lanfranc.
Beyond two lives he did not, perhaps, think proper to dictate; and, besides, Clinton was not a Virginian. What little opposition there was to Madison in his own party came from those who feared that he was too thoroughly identified with Jefferson's policy to untie the knot in which the foreign relations of the country had become entangled.
Indeed, it was clearly our duty to the papers that employed us that we should not send them news, but that we should be the first to enter Ladysmith. We were surely the best judges of what was best to do. How like them to try to dictate to us from London and New York, when we were on the spot! It was absurd.
You must note that he belongs to the organisation on a particular footing and is anxious to be of service; more than that I can't tell you. To-morrow, after Shatov's affair, I'll dictate a note to him saying that he is responsible for his death.
To Naples he spoke more definitely, and indicated at once the considerations that would dictate his course, and, he intimated, should control theirs also.
We have no right to dictate to God how He shall give His guidance—as, for example, by asking Him to shut up every way, or by asking Him to give a sign, or by guiding us in putting our finger on a text, or in any other way. It is ours to seek and to expect wisdom but it is not ours to dictate how it shall be given. Two things are evident from what has been said about the work of the Holy Spirit.
