How painful, too, was the feeling that she was being examined to discover whether the Abbess Kunigunde had any share in her change of purpose! The torture to which stronger men rarely succumbed seemed to threaten the life of the more delicate ex-schoolmaster.
There were counters an both sides, and he walked to a position directly opposite to that occupied by the ex-schoolmaster. "I wish to see some cheap scarf pins," he said to the clerk who came to wait on him, and the man hurried off to bring on the articles mentioned. "And is this the latest style of wedding ring?" Dick heard Josiah Crabtree say in a low voice.
Nevertheless, after a short plunge, he came back to the surface and, thanks to his civil compeers, was reinstated in his administrative functions; during the Terror, he was intimate with all the Terrorists, being one of the important men of Troyes. The mayor of the town, Gachez, an old soldier and ex-schoolmaster, is of the same stuff as this baker's apprentice.
Biberli's eloquence gained the victory in this case also, and though the groom led by the bridle another young stallion which the ex-schoolmaster might have mounted, he had walked cheerily beside the old monk, sweeping up the dust with his long robe.
It doesn't appear to disturb the duke and his guests at their dice; and here, my lord, are fifty florins which, I think, will do for the beginning." Biberli handed the knight a little bag containing this sum, and when Heinz asked in perplexity where he obtained it, the ex-schoolmaster answered gaily: "They came just in the nick of time.

"That means the last one," the ex-schoolmaster answered quietly, carefully avoiding fanning the flame of his young master's desire by contradiction.
What I noticed, almost from the first moment of boarding the Mercury, without attaching any particular importance to it, was that this man Wilde and a few of the other male emigrants were in the habit of spending practically the whole of the second dogwatch which, in fine weather at all events, is usually a period of idleness and recreation for a ship's crew on the forecastle- head, smoking and chatting animatedly with the forecastle hands; while at other times the ex-schoolmaster as Wilde actually proved to be seemed eternally engaged in earnest discussion with his fellow emigrants.
"Mind what you're about, Mac," growled Potts. "You know he could lick the stuffin' out o' you." The ex-schoolmaster produced some sort of indignant sound in his throat and turned, as if he meant to go out. The Colonel came a little nearer. Mac flung up his head and squared for battle.
