If they who have thus striven to steal from him that honour, which is the jewel of his heart, have murdered him, seek them out, sir, in the sacred name of justice, I implore you." "I will I will. I don't renounce him; he is my nephew still Charles Holland my own dear sister's son; and you are the best girl, God bless you, that ever breathed.
The gallant French Captain opened his dim eyes at the sound, to see the emblem for which he had striven trampled under foot. He had been endeavouring, since he saw that all hope of escape was over, to tear to pieces with his teeth and to swallow a paper which he had drawn from his pocket. Suddenly, while thus engaged, he saw the red cap fall like a flash of fire from aloft.
"Why are you so anxious not to meet this man?" asked Nigel, who was resolved, if possible without giving offence, to be at the bottom of the mystery. For some moments the hermit was silent, then in a constrained voice he said slowly "Because revenge burns fiercely in my breast. I have striven to crush it, but cannot.

De Casimir at all events had succeeded in surmounting this obstacle which had proved fatal to so many the grave of so many hopes God's rubbish-heap, where gold and precious stones, silks and priceless furs, all that greedy men had schemed and striven and fought to get, fell from their hands at last. Vilna lies all down a slope a city built upon several hills and the Vilia runs at the bottom.

Though all seemed perfection to the lay eye, let it be repeated that this was not so to the eyes of admirals. It never can be. Perfection is the thing striven for. Officers dwell on faults; all are critics.
I was restrained by none of the fears lest my own fancy deceived me, with which in his absence I had striven to reduce to natural causes the portents of terror and wonder.
