I have seen Berlin joyful, serious, and sad during the war; I have seen it on many memorable days; but never have I seen it exactly as on Saturday, April 22nd, the day when the Sussex Ultimatum was made known through the Press. The news was headlined in the afternoon editions. That was the opinion in Germany. And now he had "pulled a gun." The Germans could not understand it.
It smells like a New Zealand flower called " Here she said a word Richard had never heard, and could never remember. "I don't wonder at your liking books, if you find things in them of that sort!" "I've not exactly forgotten it," answered Richard; "but I've copied out different editions for comparison, and they've got a little mixed in my head."
I have read your book with infinite satisfaction. It has been published here in numerous editions. I see you have the right idea of things. Your motto is a good one 'we study to please. I have much wanted to visit America; but I cannot speak English, so I must remain in my dear belle France." I remarked that I had often seen him in public, and bought his pencils.
The achievement of Robert Oig, or young Rob Roy, as the Lowlanders called him, was celebrated in a ballad, of which there are twenty different and various editions.

Nova Scotia can claim the credit of giving birth to two men whose works, though in very different fields of intellectual effort, have won for them no little distinction abroad. 'Sam Slick' may now be considered an English classic, new editions of which are still published from year to year and placed on the bookseller's shelves with the works of Fielding, Smollett, Butler and Barham.

Complexion she had none, but she had spotlessness of skin, and sons and daughters just resembling her, like cheaper editions of a precious quarto of a perished type.

Here the ever-busy sewing and knitting mainly went on in summer, and a forgotten book, half read, was usually left by some one of the young folks. There was a drowsy, old-fashioned air about the premises that recalled illustrations in some of the editions of Grimm's fairy tales.
She didn't know any details, but there had been extra editions of the Sunday papers, and she said it would mean war. "War?" I echoed. "War," she repeated; and began to tread heavily about the room saying, "War. War." "But who with?" I asked, watching her fascinated, sitting up in bed holding on to my knees.
