Afterwards, Bessie took her into the cool drawing-room, where were a few ladies, who preferred the sofa to croquet or archery, and Lady Keith accomplished a fraternization between Rachel and a plainly dressed lady, who knew all about the social science heroines of whom Rachel had longed to hear.
Why should not the poor man have a vote? Why should not even women have a vote? Should there not be equality of rights and no invidious distinctions? Pamphlets began to appear in favour of a republic. Popular societies were formed, and became the vogue, with a programme of universal suffrage, and fraternization as a social characteristic.
Character of the ministry. M. de Bourmont. Dramatic scene. Charles X. and his ministers. Their unanimity. The antagonistic forces. Issuing the ordinances. Risings of opposition. Silencing the journals. Diversity of counsel. The conflict in Paris. Threatening aspect of affairs. Incidents of the battle. Fraternization of the troops and the populace. Retreat of the king. All Paris in arms.
Nor were they less demonstrative of their new convictions later at the banquet. Don Jose, with Jenkinson and the padre on his right and left, preserved his gentle and half-melancholy dignity in the midst of the noisy fraternization.

At Petropavlovsk there was an amusing fraternization between the crews of the Variag and the Wright. The American sailors were scattered among the Russians in the proportion of one to six. Neither understood a word of the other's language, and the mouth and eye were obliged to perform the duties of the ear. The flowing bowl was the manual of conversation between the Russians and their new friends.
You stop the shooting to fraternize, but behind the enemies' trenches artillery is being moved, new positions built and troops transferred. Comrades soldiers, not by fraternization will you get peace, not by separate agreements made at the front by single companies, battalions, or regiments.
It was a daily spectacle, which never lost its strangeness for the Tennesseeans and Kentuckians, to see the Frenchman returning from his work greeted by his wife and children with embraces of welcome "at the gate of his door-yard, and in view of all the villagers." The natural and kindly fraternization of the Frenchmen with the Indians was also a cause of wonder to the Americans.
