I mention these facts in kindness, to show you how wrong it is to speak of persons. I will attend to the judge, mayor, Boards of Aldermen, and policemen, all in good time. Use your influence to reestablish system, order, government.
Fifteen years after it had seen a guest so strange as the Emperor of the East, it saw Henry V. return from Agincourt, and the Mayor of London with the aldermen and four hundred citizens, "all in scarlet with hoods of red and white," greet the hero king.
It was a slap-dash style, unceremonious, free and easy, an American style. And, indeed, there was something altogether in the appearance and bearing of the mayor which savoured of residence in the Great Republic.
The drama proposed was that one in an old number of 'Aunt Judy, where the village mayor is persuaded by the drummer to fine the girls for wearing lace caps. The French original existed in the house, and Fly started the idea that the male performers should speak English and the female French; but this was laughed down.
Then, at a quarter to five, just when he felt he couldn't stand it any longer, and was about to ring up his wife instead of waiting for her to ring him up, he saw a burly shadow behind the glass door, and gave a desolate sigh.

A cool head, a disposition to reason the matter out with the district attorney, the chief of police, the mayor, or in the courts, without ever offering to compromise your speaking rights, will always triumph.

Biddle lays his hand on my arm. "'You're under arrest, Dr. Waugh-hoo, alias Peters, says he, 'for practising medicine without authority under the State law. "'Who are you? I asks. "'I'll tell you who he is, says Mr. Mayor, sitting up in bed. 'He's a detective employed by the State Medical Society. He's been following you over five counties.
It is perhaps right to state here, that a deed similar to this in nearly every point was performed by Conductor Samuel Wood, a member of the London Fire-Escape Brigade, for which he received a testimonial signed by the then Lord Mayor, and a silver watch with 20 pounds from the inhabitants of Whitechapel. Wood saved nearly 200 lives by his own personal exertions.
