Captain Hall, when asked what appeared to him to constitute the greatest difference between England and America, replied, like a gallant sailor, "the want of loyalty." Were the same question put to me, I should answer, "the want of refinement." Jonathan will be a fine gentleman, but it must be in his own way. Is he not a free-born American?
There was a home ready made in Rachel's faithful, dog-like eyes, which at once appealed to the desire of expansion of empire in the heart of the free-born Briton. Hugh had, until lately, considered woman as connected with the downward slope of life.
"Talk of working on the passions," this orator exclaimed; "can any man's passions be wound up to a greater height, can any man's indignation be more raised, than every free-born Briton's must be when he reads a letter which I have received this morning, and which I have now in my hand? This letter, sir, gives an account that seventy of our brave sailors are now in chains in Spain.
It depressed her to see the long lines of houses, street after street, and to think that she was merely a unit, unknown by name, in this great sea of humanity she, Selma Littleton, free-born American, conscious of virtue and power. This must not be; and she divined clearer and clearer every day that it need not be if she had more money.
I am what is called a free-born subject of the realm. I do what I like, though not always how I like, or when I like!" "And you, Max Graub?" "German!" said that individual firmly; "German to the backbone Socialist to the soul! and an enemy of all ruling sovereigns, particularly the one that rules me!" Thord smiled darkly.

But a free-born French citizen is never in any hurry to answer questions: Brogard took his time, then he said very slowly, "Tall Englishman? To-day! Yes." "Yes, to-day," muttered Brogard, sullenly.
Grummit looked up, and noticed with wifely pleasure that he was looking almost cheerful. "He's given me a tip," said Mr. Grummit, with a faint smile; "a copper mustn't come into a free-born Englishman's 'ouse unless he's invited." "Wot of it?" inquired his wife. "You wasn't think of asking him in, was you?" Mr. Grummit regarded her almost play-fully.
Chalmers and his party, mainly to abolish the patronage of livings, then in the hands of certain heritors or patrons, who might appoint any minister they wished, without consulting the congregation. Needless to say, as a free-born American citizen, and never having had a heritor in the family, my blood easily boiled at the recital of such tyranny.
Meanwhile he had decided to go abroad for sixty days a shrewd device on his part to cause her to miss him and here he was come to pay his adieus, but bubbling over at the same time with what he called the latest piece of disregard for public decency on the part of the free-born voter. "Just think of it.
And is a servant greater than his master, that I should say, Exempt me from this trial? No! I await his summons, but he so strengthens my soul on his breast, that the cord of Edward shall never make my free-born Scottish neck feel its degrading touch." His pale cheek was now luminous with a bright smile as he pressed his swelling heart.
