He had come into the room with the determination not to accept anything below a lieutenancy, but now made up his mind not to reject the post of orderly sergeant if it should be offered to him. The following list of officers, however will show that he was allowed no choice in the matter: Captain, Frank Frost. First Lieutenant, Charles Reynolds. Second Lieutenant, Richard Bumstead.
Ripton's lieutenancy became a sinecure, his rank merely titular. He had never been married he knew nothing about licences, except that they must be obtained, and were not difficult he had not an idea that so many days' warning must be given to the clergyman of the parish where one of the parties was resident. How should he?
There is some mistake, I am certain." "Is he not the only Chevalier de Répentigny?" "There, can be but one of the name. It is rare." "Has he not been lately appointed to a lieutenancy in the King's Bodyguard, company of Noailles?" "Impossible. I left him captain of the ship La Minerve. He has not, I regret to say, the influence to become an officer of the Bodyguard."
Green, a childless widow rich, capricious, and infirm whom Jane Tracy did not wish to lose sight of: her money was well worth both watching and waiting for; and the captain, whom a lucky chance had now lifted out of the lieutenancy, was easily persuaded to forego the pleasure of his wife's company till the somewhat indefinite period of her old aunt's death.
Ere this time there could be little doubt of the Duke of Burgundy's unwillingness to abide by his pledge, and restore Paris to Charles. The Duke and Bedford had in fact already come to terms.

The fateful letter burdening Doggie with the King's commission arrived a few weeks later: a second lieutenancy in a Fusilier battalion of the New Army. Dates and instructions were given. The impress of the Royal Arms at the head of the paper, with its grotesque perky lion and unicorn, conveyed to Doggie a sense of the grip of some uncanny power. The typewritten words scarcely mattered.
The mob scattered by universal impulse; disintegrated so promptly that within five minutes the soldiers held the ground alone, save for the officials of the prison and Denver's little band. A boyish lieutenant lately out of the Point, and just come in to a lieutenancy in the militia, was in command. "In time?" he asked anxiously, for this was his first independent expedition.
At the time that plays were acted in the little apartments, I obtained a lieutenancy for one of my relations, by a singular means, which proves the value the greatest people set upon the slightest access to the Court.
What has Frank told you you were talking together late last night?" "I had but three days' leave from Chelsey," Esmond said, as gayly as he could. "My aunt she lets me call her aunt is my mistress now! I owe her my lieutenancy and my laced coat.
"Comfort yourself, then; for two candidates for a lieutenancy do travel hence with the king young nobles both and if you but wait where you are you will hear them questioned." "That is news to the purpose. I will get one West Pointer in, anyway. Mount a man and send him to that school with a message; let him kill horses, if necessary, but he must be there before sunset to-night and say "
