It was not a great pageant, but was an impressive gathering. Society, in which the Southern element predominated, sneered at the tall ruler who had learned so few of its graces and insincerities, and took but little note of the thunder-clouds in the political atmosphere, the distant rumblings which heralded the approaching storm so soon to break with satanic force.
But his home was in Chicago, a city in which the anti-slavery sentiment predominated. When Douglas returned to his state, his in more than one sense, it was not as a conquering hero. He did not return direct from Washington, but delayed, visiting various portions of the country.

Gerald raised his head from his supporting hand, and turned upon his brother a look, in which mortified pride predominated over an infinitude of conflicting emotions. "Rejected, Henry, MY suit rejected oh, no!
Bless you, sir! you may let me alone for bamboozling of anybody." The Corporal laughed again, as he began to unharness himself. There was in him a certain mingling of insouciance and melancholy, each of which alternately predominated; the former his by nature, the latter born of circumstances. "If you can outwit our friends the Zephyrs you have reached a height of diplomacy indeed!
