But that's the way it is wid thim words that has a power of manin' in thim. They're apt to bother you a bit when you're used to spakin plain." "Belike it's the fever in his head sets him talkin' oddly," said young Barney Corcoran. "I mind me brother Joe when he was bad wid it would be ravin' wild. Sorra the sinsible word there was out of him for the best part of a week."
Daniele Manin, the President of the Republic of 1848, was of this class, which, by virtue of its learning, enlightenment, and talent, occupies a place in the esteem and regard of the Venetian people far above that held by the effete aristocracy.
"Well, now, who would there be?" retorted Linda. "Ye ain't manin' John Gilman?" asked Katy. "No," said Linda, "I am not meaning John Gilman. You should know Marian well enough to know that." "Well, ye ought to know yourself well enough to know that they ain't anybody else around these diggin's that Marian Thorne's going to get," said Katy.
"Iss, but you won't do it, though," returned Joan, "'cos there ain't no manin' in what he says, you knaw.

Holmes had just left, and next to Ralph Waldo Emerson. Never were words of poet listened to with a silence more respectfully profound than were the words of Professor Longfellow's poem as they were so touchingly and beautifully read by Dr. Holmes: The manuscript which he prepared most carefully was the "Life of Daniel Manin," which was destroyed by fire when his home at Newton Centre was burned.

He at once summoned the place to surrender, giving General Lante till noon on the following day for consideration.

Venice, which Manin, another great patriot, a martyr, had again transformed into a republican city, and which for long months had been resisting the Austrians!
The roofs were black with people now. Manin came hurrying down into the store. "Something has gone wrong," he whispered. "They're fighting out yonder in the woods. There has been some treachery." "It is ten-fifteen," said O'Reilly. "I must be going." Manin stared at him. "You don't understand " "Those black fellows are getting their horses ready. I'm going."
