From the moment of their arrival at noon of the day after the British Minister's warning, the refugees found themselves comfortable and content, Miss Brewster having quietly and tactfully taken over the management of internal affairs and reigning, at Sherwen's request, as generalissima. No disturbance had marked the transfer to their new abode.
But now, when victory gave him freedom to act, a higher duty occurred to him, and he remembered the vow which he had made at Loretto and at Rome, to his generalissima, the Holy Virgin, to extend her worship even at the risk of his crown and life. With this object, the oppression of the Protestants was inseparably connected.

Norbert's but yourself and your generalissima, Miss Ailie?" he said, stroking down Rose's brown hair. "Then, if you have not gone home, you have had nothing to eat, and that is the reason you look so tired," said Ermine. "Yes; I had some luncheon at the Abbey." "Then, at any rate, you shall have some tea. Rosie, run and fetch the little kettle."
Cigarette, who was the Generalissima of Africa! But still she never moved; though all her vivacious life was longing to be out and in their midst, on the back of a desert horse, on the head of a huge drum, perched on the iron support of a high-hung lantern, standing on a cannon while the Horse Artillery swept full gallop, firing down a volley of argot on the hot homage of a hundred lovers, drinking creamy liqueurs and filling her pockets with bonbons from handsome subalterns and aids-de-camp, doing as she had done ever since she could remember her first rataplan.

"And as she is extremely pretty aunt, what a generalissima you are!" "Pretty! Snub-nosed little toad. No, she is not pretty. But she is eighteen; so I can't afford to dress her.
