"They are the lookouts," said Burnett, "and we have scouts through the surrounding country; but Santa Anna will come, when he comes, with tens of thousands." "And there is a line where even the coolest courage and the most brilliant bravery succumbs to mere numbers Eh!" "That is what I mean, Doctor." "Where is Houston?"

A drop used upon a handkerchief emits a most delicate odour, like jasmine, but a single drop in a cup of tea means death. For two hours the doomed person feels no effect. But suddenly he or she becomes faint, and succumbs to heart disease." "Ah, I see!" she gasped, half-starting from her chair, her face ashen grey. "I I realise what you intend, Father!

"Oh, well, everything may come out all right," said Tom, as cheerfully as he could. But, in very truth, he was not very hopeful in his heart. For once an aviator succumbs to the hail of bullets from the German machine guns in an aircraft, and his own creature of steel and wings goes hurtling down, there is only a scant chance that the disabled airman will land alive.
