Before sweetening his cup, she enquired whether he liked his coffee very sweet. "Your taste, madam," answered the hunchback, gallantly, "is sure to be mine." "Then you have guessed that I always drink coffee without sugar.
The French and Bavarians fled to a bridge across the Danube below Donauwoerth, which, choked by their weight, gave way, and great numbers were drowned. The rest retreated through Donauwoerth, their rear being gallantly covered by General D'Arco, with a small body of troops who held together. Sixteen guns and thirteen standards fell into the victors' hands.
Griffeth had borne his share gallantly in the earlier part of the campaign, but a slight wound had laid him aside; and since the intense cold had come, he had only grown more white and wasted and feeble day by day.

The rebels charged upon the brigade and gallantly the charge was met.
The worst news had been that of Major Durward's death he had been killed in action, gallantly leading his men, in the early part of the year. Elisabeth had written to Sara at the time a wonderfully brave, simple letter, facing her loss with a fortitude which Sara, remembering her adoration for her husband and her curious antipathy to soldiering as a profession, had not dared to anticipate.
They must think seriously about coming to Lockleigh. If there was anything awkward in the conditions of his visit or in the announcement of his departure it failed to come to the surface.

We left Captain Christison and his son just as they had gallantly rescued the stranger who had been set upon by ruffians in one of the principal thoroughfares of London.
