"I 'o 'oo'," he replied testily. Then, clasping his jaw in both hands, he began to walk the floor again, groaning dismally. Miss Roberts's tears were flowing. She felt sure that Mr. Baxter's hours were' numbered, and that she would soon be forced to look on at his funeral. Could she be a mother to his little ones, thus doubly bereaved?
To the House of Representatives of the United States: In compliance with an act of Congress which originated in the House of Representatives, passed the 26th of May, 1824, "to authorize the President of the United States to enter into certain negotiations relative to lands located under Virginia military land warrants, lying between Ludlow's and Roberts's lines, in the State of Ohio," I herewith transmit a report, with accompanying documents, from the Commissioner of the General Land Office, shewing the measures which have been taken under the provisions of the aforesaid act.
The losses in the action were thirty-six and the gain nothing. Decidedly July 11th was not a lucky day for the British arms. It was well known to Botha that every train from the south was bringing horses for Lord Roberts's army, and that it had become increasingly difficult for De Wet and his men to hinder their arrival. The last horse must win, and the Empire had the world on which to draw.
Ibid., 66-67. See ibid., ch. VI. Cotta speaks of the case as six years earlier. Ibid., 62, 66. A Short Discoverie, 70. Triall of Witchcraft, 83-84. A Short Discoverie, 51-53. Triall of Witchcraft, 70. Roberts's explanation of the proneness of women to witchcraft deserves mention in passing.
Our force, 30,000 strong, was disposed over a square of perhaps eight miles; yet if you had ridden all day in circles round the farm of Osfontein, which was Lord Roberts's headquarters, you might have wondered whether there were even 5,000 men, so scattered were our camps. The whole air of the place was that of almost pastoral quietness, and the only sound to be heard was the lowing of oxen.
But perhaps to get an excuse for leaving town, and a way of doing so. I've heard some talk they say poor Sally Roberts's condition is his work." "Very like. Your brother is a terrible Adonis with ladies of a certain kind." "Not such an Adonis neither at least the Adonis that Venus courted in Shakespeare's poem. Rather a Jove, I should say." We did not then suspect the depth of Mr.
We heard so many rumors of Roberts's communication having been cut off and that the war was not over, that we thought perhaps we ought to go back As we have no news since except that the British are in Pretoria we still do not know what to think.
Roberts's Syrian drawings, and she alike charmed and astonished him by her familiarity with every locality and each detail. She looked like a beautiful prophetess as she dilated with solemn enthusiasm on the sacred scene.
One of Napoleon's maxims in war was to concentrate all one's energies upon one thing at one time. Roberts's aim was to outflank and possibly to capture Cronje's army. If he allowed a brigade to be involved in a rearguard action, his whole swift-moving plan of campaign might be dislocated. It was very annoying to lose a hundred and eighty wagons, but it only meant a temporary inconvenience.
They remind me of the commotion which used to precede Arthur Roberts's entrance in the old days of Gaiety burlesque. Before your time, I fancy, Bobby?" "Yes," said Bobby modestly. "I first found touch with the Gaiety over 'Our Miss Gibbs. And I was quite a kid even then," he added, with characteristic honesty. "But what about Arthur Roberts?"
