Had the crowd come up, I must have yielded nolens volens; but the man-hunter himself formidable antagonist though he appeared was still but one, and to surrender tamely to a single individual, was more than my spirit inherited from border ancestry could brook. There was too much of the moss-trooper blood in my veins for that, and I resolved, coute que coute, to risk the encounter.
"If I take him with me, he'll be getting into mischief; whether, therefore, he appears loaded with venison or empty handed, nolens volens, I'll send him back with you." While they were speaking, the sound of footsteps was heard coming up behind them.
There are no grassy lawns in these gardens: they are devoted to fruit, shrubs, and flowers, bisected into equal divisions by tiled or grass paths. People in Morocco, as all the world over, collect curiosities nolens volens. Mr. Bewicke's dining-room was no exception.
It is in this way that the more civilized countries show a strong and increasing tendency to develop into nations of manufacturers, with their gigantic workshops forcing the more backward, nolens volens, to relapse to the more primitive condition of producers of raw material only.
Irish Town, Little Scotland, and Little London are the principal and to show how completely the diggings drained both towns and villages of their male inhabitants, I need only mention that six days after the discovery of Ballarat, there was only one man left in Little Scotland, and he was a cripple, compelled NOLENS VOLENS to remain behind.
Consequently every member of the Anglican community finds himself, nolens volens, impaled on the horns of a truly frightful dilemma. In a word, he finds himself in a very tight corner.
Some excuse might perhaps be found for the hysterical terror of the poor inhabitants of the Mergellina or the Mercato, who spent their time in wailing within the churches or in screaming for the public exhibition of the venerated relics of their patron Saint, which again on this occasion the Archbishop, nolens volens, was compelled by the mob to produce.
I heard an old navvy protesting once that "Lady never troubled to shake 'ands with him any other time, but was generally that 'orty she'd step over you as soon as look at you." Poor old men are dragged out nolens volens to add their mite to the public voice, and are sometimes so aged that they scarcely know what their opinions are. I hope I shall not live to be very old.
Abram Lincoln, what yer 'bout? Stop this war, for it's played out. Another rhyme, called "The Beauties of Conscription," was a more decorous expression of such public opinion. And this, the "People's Sovereignty," Before a despot humbled! . . . . Well have they cashed old Lincoln's drafts, Hurrah for the Conscription! . . . . Is not this war this MURDER for The negro, nolens volens?
Lord Alphingham's resolution was taken, that before the present season was over, Caroline should be engaged to him, nolens volens on the part of her parents, and he acted accordingly. As opposite as were the characters, so was the conduct of Caroline's two noble suitors. St. Eval, spite of the encouragement he received, yet shrunk from paying any marked attention either to Caroline or her parents.
