But at this instant his vociferous daring forsook him.
"Too long since we were shot out of the army; any enterprising provost-marshal could make himself obnoxious about it." "I know but I'm sorry," answered Norah. "Brownie won't be satisfied unless she sees you in all your war paint." "We'll put it on some night for dinner," Jim promised. He peered suddenly into the darkness. "There's a moving light it's the pilot steamer coming out for us."
"My lord," stammered Pearson, "since your Excellency has found I am right in suspending your order in so many instances, I trust you will not blame me in this also I thought it best to await more special orders." "Thou art in a mighty merciful humour this morning, Pearson," said Cromwell, not entirely satisfied. "If your Excellency please, the halter is ready, and so is the provost-marshal."
There was that in his tone which ended all resentment, and James's hand was at once clasped in his, while Henry added, 'Ho, Provost-marshal! to the gallows with these knaves!

"I don't seem to see anything treasonable so far," said the General. "Sergeant, take the rest of your prisoners up to the Provost-Marshal, and leave this man with me." "Gen.

Army chaplains were authorized to occupy the pulpit. Second: at the beginning of the war the Confederate Congress had passed a law confiscating all property of "alien enemies" at the South, including the debts of Southerners to Northern men. In consequence of this law, when Memphis was occupied the provost-marshal had forcibly collected all the evidences he could obtain of such debts.
"I took leave, and, as I had seen enough of the black hole already, I took good care to give the provost-marshal no notice on the subject.
