What promises of good behaviour it was necessary for him to make before he was even allowed this much liberty, it is useless for us to conjecture. Following this audience the Empress Dowager, who up to this time had been seen by no foreigner except Prince Henry of Prussia, decided to receive the wives of the foreign ministers. Her motives for this new move it is impossible to determine.
To Placido every language spoken in the Philippines by Europeans, when not Spanish, had to be English, and besides, he caught the name Hongkong. If only the jeweler would recommend him to that foreigner, who must be setting out for Hongkong! Placido paused.
The depth of her depravity Christ clearly intimates in his allusion to the debtor who owed five hundred pence, and the language of Simon teaches that the infamy of her life was well understood among the inhabitants of the city. If a foreigner, she had probably been brought into the country by the Roman soldiers and deserted.
Excerpts from this read: "If any one is called upon to raise his voice in foreign lands for the cause of truth, it is the foreigner who was able to witness the unanimous rising of the German people at the outbreak of war, and their attitude during its continuance.

Whether the merchant whose capital exports the surplus produce of any society, be a native or a foreigner, is of very little importance.

At that moment he saw his own position clearly.
"You'll have to tote them there things," he swiftly explained. "I forgot where I was." I demurred sharply, but he would not listen. "I didn't mind it so much in Paris and Europe, where I ain't so very well known, but my good gosh! man, this is my home town. You'll have to take them. People won't notice it in you so much, you being a foreigner, anyway."
But Prometesky had fallen to the lot of a harsh, rude master, who hated him as a foreigner, and treated him in a manner that roused the proud spirit of the noble. The master had sworn that the convict had threatened his life, and years of working in chains on the roads had been the consequence.
This was a full-bowed vessel, of quaint rig, heavy sheer, and extraordinary build a foreigner clearly, and an ancient one. She differed from a lugger as widely as a lugger differs from a schooner, and her broad spread of canvas combined the features of square and of fore-and-aft tackle.
