"No, sire, but an old soldier like me is not an agreeable spectacle for a young and gay princess." "Ah! but my sister must know you; she must in case of need have you to depend upon."

The side door opened and Parry entered, his face beaming with pleasure as soon as he saw D'Artagnan.
The first white men known to have landed upon the islands, were a portion of the crew of the Iphigenia, under command of Captain William Douglass, who remained about a week in Parry Passage in 1788, trading with the natives.
"Say, Parry, I don't know what's got into you, but I want you to come home with me for the Easter holidays. It'll do you good. We'll be on the Hudson, you know, and we'll manage to make life bearable somehow." I forgot my irritation, in sheer surprise. "Why, that's mighty good of you, Jerry " I began, struggling to my feet. "Oh, rot!" he exclaimed. "I shouldn't ask you if I didn't want you."
"Well, I suppose it would be pushing it too far. They can't say we're cowards if we retreat now." "No; but we can say they are," cried Ralph. "Why, what a set of curs, to be beaten by us." "Yes, and they can't fight a bit. I could parry their thrusts with a stick. But here; I can't lose my pony. Where is he?" "And I can't lose my rod and creel," cried Ralph.

The vessels began to move on the 1st August, but the ice had not yet broken up in the offing, and they got no further than the eastern extremity of Melville Island, of which the furthest point reached by Parry was in N. lat. 113 degrees 46 minutes 13 seconds and W. long. 113 degrees 46 minutes 43 seconds.
Think scandal and your disgrace! Then he make a pass at m'sieu' Cournal, who parry quick. Another, and he prick his shoulder. Another, and then madame beside me, as I spring back, throw aside the curtains, and cry out, 'No, m'sieu'! no! For shame! "I kneel in a corner behind the curtains, and wait and listen.
Well indeed may Englishmen be proud of men such as Ross, Parry, Clavering, Lyon, Beechey, and Franklin, and of others who have in still later days exhibited their dauntless courage and perseverance in the same cause Collinson, McClure, McClintock, Sherard Osborn, Forsyth, and many more.
"At the back, under the chestnut trees." "Parry," said the king, "I will not miss this opportunity, so precious for me, to thank the gentleman to whom our house is indebted for such a noble example of devotedness and generosity. Hold my horse, my friend, if you please."
