But she was so adorable; her Southern accent was so bewitching; she put so much softness in those amusing idioms "I reckon" and "Seems like," "You others," and the countless little tricks of the Southern vernacular, that Dick passed sleepless hours and delicious days dreaming and sighing and groaning and doing all manner of unreasonable things that we all do when we meet our first Rosas and they light the torch for other feet more favored than our own.
This gives them a great facility of movement; for the distance to which horses can be driven over these plains is quite surprising: I have been assured that an unloaded horse can travel a hundred miles a day for many days successively. The encampment of General Rosas was close to the river. It consisted of a square formed by waggons, artillery, straw huts, etc.
Ship after ship he took, till his name became a terror to the Spaniards and French; for he was so audacious, that no matter how big was the vessel he came across, nor how small his own, he "went at them," as Nelson had told him to do; and many a stately prize brought he home as the result of his daring and bravery. One of the most gallant deeds he did was in connection with the defence of Rosas.
"Yes, indeed, I have consented. Because I really hoped that you would relieve me from such an undesirable duty, a little too questionable." "You would like? What would you like?" "I wish no, I would have you not marry Monsieur de Rosas." Marianne shrugged her shoulders. She clearly felt the threat conveyed in Lissac's words, but she desired to show from the first that she disdained them.
It is Farrel's wish that the matter be forgotten by everybody concerned." "I have already forgotten it, my friend," the urbane Don Nicolás replied graciously, and Bill Conway departed forthwith for the Hotel de Las Rosas.

Rosas had wished to see Guy again for the last time. At Rue d'Aumale they informed him that Monsieur de Lissac was travelling. The shutters of the apartment were not, however, closed.
We owe a great debt to Washington, because if a third why not a fourth term? And then life tenure after the manner of the Caesars and Cromwells of history, and especially the Latin-Americans Bolivar, Rosas and Diaz? Away back in 1873, after a dinner, Mr.
We followed the course of the Rio Tapalguen, through a very fertile country, to the ninth posta.
