Berkeley, Hilda replied, laughing; 'only after the very truculent character I had heard of your father as a regular red-hot militant Radical, I thought I'd better not send in my name to him at once for fear it might prejudice him against me before first acquaintance.
"Shall I own it? one which, frankly, struck me as a little upsetting and the reverse of pleasant." "Weren't you comfortable? I am so sorry," Damaris exclaimed, instincts of hospitality instantly militant. "What was wrong? You should have called someone rung for Hordle. What was it?" "No no my dear Damaris, don't vex yourself I entreat you. I was in clover, luxuriously comfortable.
So her fame went forth and took on gradually something of the supernatural her tall, straight slenderness, her steady eyes, her halo of red hair grew to have a sort of sacred significance, like that of some militant young saint. Then came a day when Derry's regiment marched through the town to the trenches, spent an interval, and came back, awed by what it had seen, but undaunted.
The first English "militant" to speak in Baltimore was Mrs. Annie Cobden Sanderson, on My Experience in an English Jail, in January, 1908, in the Christian Temple, the Rev. Peter Ainslie, the pastor, introducing the speaker, who made a profound impression. Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst came next, speaking in Osler Hall on Ideal Democracy, followed by Sylvia Pankhurst and Mrs.
It was now as if we were surrounded on all sides by solid walls of water and forever shut off from the outer world if indeed that had survived. Sheets of water slashed in further and further across the floor. We took to huddling behind beams and under saw-benches the militant storm hunted us out and wetted us bit by bit.
Iglesias' rare and gracious smile had an almost cruel edge to it. "The machine shall become a man again," he said. "And the man shall amuse himself. How, I don't yet know, but I will find out. Work has made me dull and inept." He straightened himself up, tired, yet unbroken, defiant, aware though the horror of the Outer Darkness was yet upon him of purpose still militant and unspent.
Ruscino, placed midway in the valley, is only a village to which no traveller has for many years come, and of which no geographer ever speaks; it is marked on the maps of military topographers, and is, of course, inscribed on the fiscal rolls, but is now no more than a village; though once, when the world was young, it was the Etruscan Rusciae, and then the Latin Ruscinonis; and then, when the Papacy was mighty, it was the militant principality of the fortified town of Ruscino.
A lad of about mine own age came from the window and held out his hand, and the lad was Lancelot Amber. I have seen many gracious sights in my time, but only one so gracious as that sudden flash of Lancelot Amber upon my boyish vision. As he came forward with the afternoon sunlight strong upon him he looked like some militant saint. There is a St. George in our church, and there is a St.
We find ourselves, then, committed to the picture of a church or spiritual institution which is in essence Liturgic, Ecclesiastical, Dogmatic, and Militant, as best fulfilling the requirements of group psychology. Four decidedly indigestible morsels for the modern mind. Yet, group-feeling demands common expression if it is to be lifted from notion to fact.
This stronghold belongs to him alone; no one, even in the name of the public, has a right to enter it; to surrender it would be cowardice, rather than give up its keys he would die in the breach; when this militant sentiment of honor is enlisted on the side of conscience it becomes virtue itself. Such are, in these days, the two central themes of our European morality.
