As the war-balloons rose into the air from the heights above Boulogne, good telescopes at Dover enabled their possessors to count no less than seventy-five of them. Fifty of these were quite newly constructed, and were of a much improved type, as they had been built in view of the practical experience gained by the first fleet.
I can tell you it would be a bad business for any one who laid a finger on me, anywheres between Dover and Portsmouth; I think the word would be passed along pretty quick. Not that I can't take care o' myself, added Sal with a modest smile. 'I'm not afraid to be out o' nights, when I know where my bed is; and sometimes I can do without that.
The Continent has stood a-tiptoe to see the wonderful English Earl pass and repass. He has been the lion of a congress that included Bismarck.

He felt cold all over. Somehow, news had preceded him. It was garbled truth, but there was enough to make his spine feel like ice.

"Olive," he said to Sunny Boy's mother, "I'm going over to Dover street in the River Section for a short call. Father is going with me. We heard this afternoon of a family who are pretty hard up." "Is there anything I can send them?" asked Mrs. Horton.
Culpepper said tremulously: 'She hath her father's commands to hasten to Dover. 'Her father taketh and giveth commands from me, Henry answered, and his glove flicked once more towards the gate. He had turned his face away before Culpepper's hand grasped convulsively at his dagger and he had Katharine Howard at his side sweeping back towards Cromwell.
"Confound " He pulled himself up. "She'll be back in a moment, I suppose," he muttered. "Dover express! Take your seats!" bawled a porter. "Are you for the Dover express?" "Yes," said Major Colquhoun. "Engaged carriage, sir?" "Yes oh, by the way, perhaps she's gone to the carriage," and he started to see, the porter following him.
