He made that body of men appoint a board of Lady Managers two ladies from each State and Territory, and eight lady managers at large, and nine at Chicago." That name "Lady Manager" wuz done by Uncle Sam's over-politeness to the sect, and I don't know as Josiah wuz to blame.

He had such a patient, frightened face, and was so polite." "That was what ruined him." Miss Gibbie's voice was steady again. "Many wives are ruined by over-politeness.
"Lacy," said he, taking the arm of the field-marshal, "I am about to explain to you the cause of my over-politeness to my abhorred enemy. You must have been astounded at the orders I have been giving to-day." "To tell the truth, I was surprised. But I thought that in the nobleness of your heart, sire, you were proving to me that you had relinquished all thoughts of revenge."
