The salvos of artillery, the illuminations and rejoicings, the solemn processions and masses by which the auspicious event had been celebrated, mere yet fresh in the memory of men. The ambassadors were sufficiently embarrassed by the distinct and determined approbation which they had recently expressed.
"Regard not that, my brother," answered Magdalen Graeme; "the first successors of Saint Peter himself were elected, not in sunshine, but in tempests not in the halls of the Vatican, but in the subterranean vaults and dungeons of heathen Rome they were not gratulated with shouts and salvos of cannon-shot and of musketry, and the display of artificial fire no, my brother but by the hoarse summons of Lictors and Praetors, who came to drag the Fathers of the Church to martyrdom.
It was immediately reproduced in Spanish by the Union Catolica; the clerical press boomed full-mouthed salvos in its honour, and his Eminence Cardinal Parocchi has blessed book or author, or both, and believes that it will make a great impression, "undoubtedly contributing to enlighten minds and lead them back to God."
"I shall not attempt to explain the philosophy of this," he added with a mournful smile, "but all lovers of salutes and salvos will maintain that it is useful; and be it so or not, too much depends on our making ourselves heard, to neglect any thing that has even a chance of aiding that one great object.
"Wouldn't think much of the scheme of trying Baker as woods foreman up in our timber, then?" suggested Welton. "Him? Lord, no!" said Bob, surprised. Welton threw back his head and laughed heartily, in great salvos. "Ho! ho! ho!" he shouted. "Oh, Bobby, I wish any old Native Son could be here to enjoy this joke with me. Ho! ho! ho! ho!"

As he spoke he broke the keen blade in twain and cast the pieces into the grave, adding impressively, "May God give us forgetfulness, and may we be forgotten!" The Volons fired three salvos over the grave, the reverberating thunder and the flashing lightning mingling with the noise of the muskets. When the storm had passed the moon rose in a cloudless sky.
The news of his presence in the theatre quickly ran through the parterre, and the overture was no sooner ended than the whole audience rose and gave him a general acclamation of welcome, amidst deafening salvos of applause. "The success of 'Le Nozze di Figaro, so unsatisfactory at Vienna, was unexampled at Prague, where it amounted to absolute intoxication and frenzy.
In the course of the act, Esperance secured several salvos of applause. The sustained emotion of the grief that overwhelmed her and the spasm of weeping which closed the act gave the young artist complete assurance of the public's earnest approval. Sardou had dropped into the box of the Minister Plenipotentiary. He hid himself from the public, but sought the opinion of his great friend.
Strange tatters of conversation rose from the deck. "Poor child, she lost her husband at the beginning of the war" "Third shipment of hosses" "I was talking with a feller from the Atlas Steel Company" "Edouard is somewhere near Arras"; there were disputes about the outcome of the war, and arguments over profits. A voluble French woman, whose husband was a pastry cook in a New York hotel before he joined the forces, told me how she had wandered from one war movie to another hoping to catch a glimpse of her husband, and had finally seen "some one who resembled him strongly" on the screen in Harlem.
