Of the two, although a peace-loving individual, he preferred the camp and battlefield to the Nosegay; the latter's fragrance was a trifle too sweet. Suddenly Martha, who had been sitting quiet in the rocker, spoke. "Mr. Bangs," she said, "I saw Lulie Hallett when I was over at the light this afternoon. We had a good talk together before Cap'n Jethro came back.
"Surely you are not a German?" he asked. "No, sir," was the reply, "I am French." "Then what need had you to be afraid of us?" "Well, you see, sir," was the nervous reply, "I am a peace-loving man.

And the bootlegger, for a moment, was stunned, For a while back he had humored the girl a little, to hold her in peace and without suspicion until Mooney was able to turn over her body-money. After that after he had delivered her to the other's shack it would all be up to Mooney, he figured. And this was what had come of his peace-loving efforts!

Or if Jim were not one of the peace-loving Friends, and would enlist in the present struggle for liberty, the fame of Commodore James Starbuck should soon eclipse that of Paul Jones.
Therefore China cannot be regarded as an organized country. She is held intact only by custom and sentiment of a peace-loving people. But at once, should there arise discord, general anarchy would result.

He felt in an instant that he was misunderstood; yet, as quiet people are apt to do, though not wishing to deceive, he let the misinterpretation stand. In his embarrassment he did not know with absolute certainty what he should do himself.

The injured physical man was triumphant over the peace-loving soul, and anyhow there must now be a lesson.
