The bear-skins on the floor, the big, sleepy chairs, the reading-table littered with magazines, the shelves of books, even the basket of fancy-work all these he could accept without further parleying; but a piano! in Kalvik! Observing his look, the girl said: "I am dreadfully extravagant, am I not? But I love it, and I have so little to do. I read and play and drive my dog-team that's about all."
He therefore marched to Santo Domingo City and after a few days' parleying deposed Kerverseau, placed him aboard a vessel that carried him to Mayaguez, in Porto Rico, and assumed the governorship. Dessalines did not long keep him waiting.
At the jail door, covering that opening, stood Edward Conway. They tried parleying with him, but he would have none of it. "Go back " he said, "I am the sheriff here I am the law. The man who comes first into that gate will be the first to die."
And into this he speedily broke. "Come, come, Baby Charles," he cried, "stand no more parleying, but out and over with the boon ye crave as guerdon for your lucky plum. Ud's fish, lad, out with it; we'd get it for ye though it did rain jeddert staves here in Whitehall."
In the war against Ariovistus, whilst he was parleying with him, there happened some commotion between the horsemen, which was occasioned by the fault of Ariovistus' light horse, wherein, though Caesar saw he had a very great advantage of the enemy, he would make no use on't, lest he should have been reproached with a treacherous proceeding.
Barton," she added with sudden wistfulness, "there's almost nothing on the face of the globe that I couldn't have if I only had some place to put it."

Again the girl answered his question equally frankly, and without offense. "Oh, no," she said.
When at last we got to Schinn, we met a carriage, which stopped, and ecce, our postilion called out we must change. "I don't care," said I. Mamma and I were parleying, when a portly gentleman came up, whose physiognomy I at once recognized; he was a Memmingen merchant. He stared at me for some time, and at last said, "You surely are Herr Mozart?"
"You forget that I counsel moderation as an expediency, as even a necessity, for the public good. It were poor policy to compass the country's ruin for the sake of bringing chastisement upon error." "That can be but a questionable love of country that would humiliate a government to the act of parleying with rebellion."
As the invaders approached Strathearn on their way northwards, they found Mar encamped on Dupplin Moor, on the left bank of the Earn, and holding in force the only bridge available for crossing the river. There was some parleying between the two hosts. "We are sons of magnates of this land," declared the disinherited to Mar.
The cats disposed of, Sir Maurice at last recovered his wonted self-possession a self-possession as admirable as the serenity of the Terror, but not so durable. At dinner he reduced his appreciative kinsfolk to the last exhaustion by his entertaining account of his parleying with his excited fellow travelers. He could now view it with an impartial mind.
