When the Christians had mounted their guns and made a couple of breaches in the walls of Regall, General Moyses ordered an attack one dark night "by the light that proceeded from the murdering muskets and peace-making cannon."
At the end of his hesitation, he asked: "Could I prevail upon you to give me five minutes in the garden?" "Why, certainly," answered Aurora, appreciating the fact that Estelle would be superfluous at the peace-making that must follow. She went very lightly down the stairs. She could hear Estelle's and Tom's voices still in the dining-room.
The peace-making Mayor then interrupted the quavering Holdenough and the clerk, and prayed both to retire, else there would, he said, be certainly strife. "Strife!" replied the Presbyterian divine, with scorn; "no fear of strife among men that dare not testify against this open profanation of the Church, and daring display of heresy. Would your neighbours of Banbury have brooked such an insult?"
So it will be understood that the bringing together in one place of large parties of fully armed warriors of all these different groups was a distinctly interesting and speculative experiment in peace-making. There the river, still nearly a hundred miles from the sea, winds round the foot of a low flat-topped hill, on which stand the small wooden fort and court-house and the Resident's bungalow.
I've been looking for Fenn all day." "Sorry to give you all that trouble," said Fenn, with a sneer. "Got something important to say?" "Yes." "Go ahead, then." Jimmy Silver stood between them with the toasting-fork in his hand, as if he meant to plunge it into the one who first showed symptoms of flying at the other's throat. He was unhappy. His peace-making tea-party was not proving a success.
Poor King Edward may have thought he was peace-making, but he little knew the Balkans. In June 1906, England formally resumed relations with Serbia, an event of far higher import than any one but Russia realized at the time. It is a date that ends a chapter of Balkan history.
In one of the pauses in the storm the peace-making sergeant wanted a match; an old man behind me who had matches was appealed to for one and he declined, averring with much simplicity that he was afraid of being shot. His wife in a vigorous whisper advised him to keep his matches in his pocket.
"He used to be with you, Will." "Only so long as I wore short breeches and he could whack me over the head whenever he had a mind to. I tell you I'd rather try to get along with Beelzebub himself." "Have you ever tried peace-making in earnest, I wonder?" Twirling a chip between his thumb and forefinger, he flirted it angrily at a solitary hen scratching in the mould.
Robin Oig was still under the dominion of his passion, and eager to renew the onset; but being withheld on the one side by the peace-making Dame Heskett, and on the other, aware that Wakefield no longer meant to renew the combat, his fury sunk into gloomy sullenness.
"And we leave off canting about the beauties of Nature," added Lady Lydiard. "I hate the country. Give me London, and the pleasures of society." "Come! come! Do the country justice, Lady Lydiard!" put in peace-making Mr. Troy. "There is plenty of society to be found out of London as good society as the world can show."
