And I'm sure it was the right one, but but it did him no good, for, oh! he didn't know who our Saviour is; and the little fellow clung to his brother in a passion of tears, while Felix felt a pang at the contrast. 'Have you been telling him, Lancey? he asked. 'I wanted him to ask Mr. Audley, but he said he was a parson, and his father said that there would be no parsons if men were not fools.
"Oh, indeed!" said De Lancey, carelessly. "A relation of mine by marriage." But for a time I had nothing to say, thinking how, after these years of separation, Philip and I had come so near meeting in the night, and known it not; and how, but for the turn of things, one of us might have given the other his death-blow unwittingly in the darkness. Philip's Adventures Captain Falconer Comes to Town.
"Ay, and here is Tom Faringfield," said I. "Well, bless my soul!" exclaimed the pedagogue, grasping the hand that Tom held to him out of the darkness. "Mr. Cornelius, since that is your name," put in De Lancey, to whom time was precious. "Will you please tell us who commands yonder, where we got the reception our folly deserved, awhile ago?" "Certainly, sir," said Cornelius.
Lancey took the cigarette, but at this point his honest soul recoiled from the part he seemed to be playing. He rose, and, laying the cigarette respectfully on the ground, said "Sanda Pasha, it's not for the likes o' me to be sittin' 'ere smokin' with the likes o' you, sir.

At all events, after ascertaining that he could not communicate with him by any known language, he sent him to his kitchen to obtain a meal, and afterwards allowed him to depart, to the evident indignation of the Bulgarian and his friends, who did not, however, dare to show their feelings. For some time Lancey wandered about endeavouring to make friends with the people, but without success.
I can't go without leave." The scout nodded. In ten minutes I had returned. Meanwhile, Lancey had prepared my horse and his own. Swallowing a can of water, I vaulted into the saddle. It was very dark, but Petroff knew every foot of the country. For several hours we rode at a smart gallop, and then, as day was breaking, drew near to Venilik.
Never mind the source of Captain Tom's money. It is not for them to worry about the "Fox," or the "De Lancey," a brigantine with fourteen guns, which the "financier" took out in 1757, and with which he made some sensational captures, or the "Saucy Sally." Eventually the "De Lancey" was taken by the Dutch and the "Saucy Sally" by the English.
Here Braddock's camp was spread, and in a large tent he met Governor Dinwiddie of Virginia, Governor de Lancey of New York, Governor Sharpe of Maryland, Governor Dobbs of North Carolina and Governor Shirley of Massachusetts, an elderly lawyer, but the ablest and most energetic of all the governors.
It was at that time encumbered with several large trees, old roots, and a number of boulders. "Come along with us, Lancey," I said to the groom, who was also my laboratory assistant, and whom I met in the stable-yard, the scene of his memorable blowing-up. "I am about to try the effect of an explosive, and wish you to understand the details."
As I had anticipated, he missed the vessel of the Turkish flotilla towards which he had struck out, but fortunately succeeded in grappling the chain cable of that which lay next to it, and the crew of which, as the reader will recollect, I had roused by a shout in passing. Lancey soon let the Turks know where he was.
