When the Roundhead went into battle, or when the Revivalist goes to prayer meeting, he heard and hears the command of Jehovah to "go up to Ramoth Gilead and prosper"; to "smite Amalek hip and thigh." Phrases from the Old Testament are in the mouths of millions daily; and they are phrases couched in the grand literary style. Now the grand style is the breathing of a sense of greatness.
"I am for God and my standard," answered the single horseman. "And for which standard?" replied the chief of the other party "Cavalier or Roundhead, King or Convention?" "By my troth, sir," answered the soldier, "I would be loath to reply to you with an untruth, as a thing unbecoming a cavalier of fortune and a soldier.
Next morning at the dawn, a file of Roundheads marched him into the courtyard of the Castle and here he found Colonel Playfair and his officers waiting. "'Now, Sir James, for your last word, said the Roundhead. 'Will you reveal where the treasure lies, or will you choose to die? "'I will not reveal, answered the old man. 'Murder me if ye will. The deed is worthy of Holy Presbyters.
The great colony of Virginia stood in strong contrast to New England. In both the population was English; but the one was Puritan with Roundhead traditions, and the other, so far as concerned its governing class, Anglican with Cavalier traditions.
Thus, in their enthusiasm which is only a minor madness whether the Hindoo bramin or the Spanish bigot, the English roundhead or the follower of the "only true faith" at Mecca, be understood, it is but a word and a blow though the word be a hurried prayer to the God of their adoration, and the blow be aimed with all the malevolence of hell at the bosom of a fellow-creature.

Hence she was quite prepared to accept the solution of her strange conduct, which by and by, it was hard to say how, came to be offered and received all over the castle that Dorothy first admitted, then captured, and finally released the handsome young roundhead.
I have not constructed thy horoscope to cast thy nativity, and therefore I speak as one of the ignorant; but let me tell thee, for I do say it confidently, that if these wars were once over, and the king had his own again, there will be few men in his three kingdoms so worthy of the hand and heart of Dorothy Vaughan as that same roundhead fellow, Richard Heywood.
It will be no long time before hoofs are in the land, for Royalist and Roundhead and Ulsterman will be storming through the hills; Galway will be the last to give in to Cromwell, of a certainty. When the hurricane falls, I want a roof to shelter me and whom could I turn out better than this O'Donnell?"
"Because he means kindly, but does not want other people to know it," replied Edward. "Come in, Humphrey; I have much to tell you and much to surprise you with." "I have been surprised already," replied Humphrey. "How did this Roundhead know Clara's father so well?" "I will explain all before we go to bed," replied Edward; "let us go in now."
