'First snatch his prey, or he'll be making, God save us! a meal for a Kaiser, the brute. Guy called in the landlady, clapped down the score, and abused the wine. 'Sir, said the landlady, 'ours is but a poor inn, and we do our best. 'So you do, replied the Goshawk, softened; 'and I say that a civil tongue and rosy smiles sweeten even sour wine.
General Wood withdrew to his place in the observation chamber beside Mr. Edison. Swiftly we flew nearer to the enemy's battleships, which were advancing in two columns, led by two super-dreadnoughts, the Kaiser Friedrich and the Moltke, with the admiral's flag at her forepeak and flanked by lines of destroyers that belched black smoke from their squat funnels.
And in the end of this same May, 1727, we hear, his principal ally, Czarina Catherine, has died; poor brown little woman, Lithuanian housemaid, Russian Autocrat, it is now all one; dead she, and can do nothing. Probably the Kaiser will sit still?
His uniform was caked with dust and mud and his face was drawn with a mortal fatigue; but as he stood there scowling haughtily down upon that upturned sea of woman's faces, the most singular vision that ever had greeted imperial eyes, he was an imposing figure enough to those who knew that he was the Kaiser Wilhelm II, King of Prussia and Alsace-Lorraine, and Emperor in Germany.
The Kaiser boasted that his armies had been set up for some time by this Italian success, and Italy's two Allies had no choice but to send divisions to her assistance, the French under Fayolle and the British under Plumer.

The crawling pained my ankle somewhat, but not so much as before, and I got to the sled at last. I saw that it was near the trail which the men on horseback had made, and this gave me an idea: perhaps Kaiser would follow that. I pushed on over, and as soon as he saw the trail he pricked up his ears, began to sniff at the snow and look toward the town.
The Heretogen, Heerzogen, or, as we call them, Dukes, had indeed accepted employment from the Kaiser as his generals, and had received rewards from him; the Gerefen, or Graffen, of all kinds were his judges, the titles of both being proofs of their holding commissions from, and being thus dependent on, the court.
So out brayed the trumpeted query, and back the inexorable trumpeted answer: "Let the Captain come". So, then, the Kaiser would never reach Sandy Hook? To put out boats! to parley! while the earth span with quick-panting throbs, every second worth seven thousand pounds! "But don't they pay for it...?" so, with a painful face of care, the Captain questioned space.
