Our hero would then assume the character of a preserver of the peace. He would make for the nearest group of revellers, and, in as many seconds, give a half dozen or more of them vigorous shakes, which would set them to howling, and warn the others of the thoughtless tribe of an impending danger.
"Why not rather to his own camp, or to Malpas?" said Rose "dearest lady, believe, it will be for the best." "Wherefore not wherefore not? wherefore not leave him on the way-side at once, to the knife of the Welshman, and the teeth of the wolf?-Once twice three times has he been my preserver. Where I go, he shall go; nor will I be in safety myself a moment sooner than I know that he is so."
The neighbourhood was undergoing, as it seemed, "improvements" of that peculiar metropolitan species which consists in pulling down the dwellings of the poor, and building up rich men's houses instead; and great buildings, within high temporary palings, had already eaten up half the little houses; as the great fish, and the great estates, and the great shopkeepers, eat up the little ones of their species by the law of competition, lately discovered to be the true creator and preserver of the universe.
But oh, I daren't think of being in the water with all those sharks." "Don't talk that way!" said Paul in a sharp whisper, as he saw Ruth shrink back at the word "shark." Miss Pennington did not deign to answer, but she and her friend were soon struggling with the straps of a life preserver. At this moment Captain Brisco came down into the cabin.
Under this "unknown God" are two chief agencies, working partners who manage the business of the world, and who effect what the civilized call "Providence." Mbwiri here becomes the Osiris, Jove, Hormuzd or Good God, the Vishnu, or Preserver, a tutelar deity, a Lar, a guardian.

Was he again deluded by a resemblance, or was he in a dream? The guests gazed in silence at the spellbound king, and at the poet; at last Rameses bowed his head,
The strenuous efforts of Hugues were nullified by the persistent refusal of the Canadian to take advantage of the device proposed to him, by his would-be preserver of declaring himself a non-aristocrat. La Tour vehemently urged him at least to cry "Vive la Republique!" At that Lecour seemed to conceive an idea, and stepping forward cried instead in a voice of decision "Long live the King!"
Oh, Dr Lyster! preserver of my life in hers! give to me but that exquisite moment, and every past evil will be for ever obliterated!" "You must be calmer, Sir," said the Doctor, "before I make the attempt. These heroicks are mighty well for sound health, and strong nerves, but they will not do for an invalide."
Lethierry laughed that idea to scorn. He was wild with joy. Gilliatt, his son, his preserver, should marry Dérouchette he, and none other. Neighbours had begun to flock in, roused by the bell.
