After having parleyed a long time, our brave captain-general answered "that he would make no promises, that they must surrender unconditionally, and lay down their arms, because, if he spared their lives, he wanted them to be grateful for it, and, if they were put to death, that there should be no cause for complaint."
Should the papers be found on my body, then honorable men would execrate my memory as a traitor to country and to King, for had not Serigny told me he could not avow my connection with him? The lust of life still surging strong within me, I drew my sword. Its point effectually guarded the narrow space in front from post to post. They parleyed a time, and I rested firm against the door.
They crossed the quadrangle together without speaking. The bird call from SIEGFRIED whistled softly followed them from the steps of the porch. Cranly turned, and Dixon, who had whistled, called out: Where are you fellows off to? What about that game, Cranly? They parleyed in shouts across the still air about a game of billiards to be played in the Adelphi hotel.
I took it off and turned to appeal to the nearest one of the flying body-guard that had accompanied us. "You run on to her and tell her that if she'll show me the house where that baby lives I'll give her this pin." He sped on ahead and parleyed with Kit; and while they talked I held aloft the little pin so that Kit might see the price.
"He's the successor of Pasteur in the Pasteur Institute at Paris, and his book is called The Nature of Man." "That blighting book!" One of the women who had caught on to the drift of the talk contributed this anguished suspiration. "Blighting? Is it blighting?" the first speaker parleyed.
"Do you mean to say I've parleyed for hours with a high-spirited gentleman and two two timid maiden ladies, just to give your Aunt Amelia a pleasant surprise?" He sank into a chair and wiped his beaded brow feebly. "I ought to have had more confidence in you," he said faintly. "I ought to know your powers by now. And I did.
Saxon hesitated. The freedom and motion of the small boat appealed to her. Like the ships she had envied, it was outbound. "Maybe you'll drown me," she parleyed. The boy threw back his head with pride. "I guess I've been sailin' many a long day by myself, an' I ain't drowned yet." "All right," she consented. "Though remember, I don't know anything about boats." "Aw, that's all right.
The commandant parleyed and agreed to admit the Romans within the walls, the condition, whether tacit or expressed, of this surrender being that the lives of the citizens should be spared. The condition was immediately broken.
It was one thing to fly the white flag of truce while you parleyed with the enemy; it was quite another to share the same couch with her in a cozy room, where there were only the two of you and the jumping flames of the fire in the grate made the silver on the small round table glow red. When they weren't talking there was no sound. None of the clamor of London reached them.
After this the parish officers came up to them and parleyed with them at a distance, and desired to know who they were, and by what authority they pretended to fix their stand at that place.
