Most complex military ground, the manoeuvrings on it endless, which must be left to the reader's fancy here.
Poor Milicent, I fear, has already fallen a sacrifice to the manoeuvrings of this mistaken mother, who congratulates herself on having so satisfactorily discharged her maternal duty, and hopes to do as well for Esther.
Sublime enough, hugely perfect to the royal eye, such a mass of shining giants, in their long-drawn regularities and mathematical manoeuvrings, like some streak of Promethean lightning, realized here at last, in the vulgar dusk of things!
It was of the utmost importance to him that, in his manoeuvrings with France and Holland, he should have, or at any rate appear to have, English support. But the English Government appeared to adopt a neutral attitude; it was too bad; not to be for him was to be against him, could they not see that?
At last, in the course of their manoeuvrings, they happened to take the boat rather too near the bridge. The attention of the boys was at the time directed to something that they saw in the water; and they did not perceive how near the bridge they were until Rollo happened to observe that the stones at the bottom seemed to be rapidly moving along in the direction towards the lake.
After such a June and July of it, since he left the Meissen Country; after all these intricate manoeuvrings, hot fierce marchings and superhuman exertions, here is he returning to Meissen Country poorer than if he had stayed. Fouquet lost, Glatz unrelieved Nay, just before marching off, what is this new phenomenon? Is this by way of "Happy journey to you!"
Seward's influence over Lincoln The people for Fremont Col. Romanoff's opinion of the generals McClellan refuses to move Manoeuvrings The people uneasy The staff The Orleans Brave boys! The Potomac closed Oh, poor nation! Mexico McClellan and Scott. Will McClellan display unity in conception, and vigor in execution? That is the question.
A thing, in short, that belongs peculiarly to soldier-students; who can undergo the dull preliminaries, most dull but most inexorably needed; and can follow out, with watchful intelligence, and with a patience not to be wearied, the multifarious topographies, details of movements and manoeuvrings, year after year, on such a Theatre of War. What is to be done with it here!
About Breslau they linger and higgle, at their leisure, for three weeks longer: and if their junction with the Austrians "in Neisse neighborhood" is to be prevented or impeded, it is Friedrich, not Ziethen, that will have to do it. These are among Friedrich's famed marches and manoeuvrings, these against the swift Loudon and his slow Russians; but we will not dwell on them.
She was not of the order of women who hesitate for petty considerations, or who stoop to small manoeuvrings. "I'm afraid I must go now," she said, when he had stood some time without speaking. "Don't go yet. Sit down." His tone was still one of command, but not of the same quality of command as that which he had used on her entry. He brought her a chair, and she seated herself again.
