Not only had he the heart of a lion but he also possessed consummate tact and the greatest energy. When he received an order, or if he wished to do anything, then it was bend or break with him. Danie Theron answered the highest demands that could be made on a warrior. One of Commandant Theron's lieutenants, Jan Theron, was appointed in his place.

That would in itself be a useful thing, because Mifflin wore kid gloves at the Conference, and affected an intolerable superiority of dress and demeanor, and there would be general satisfaction among the plainer and worthier brethren at seeing him taken down a peg. Now for the first time there rose distinctly in Theron's mind that casual allusion which Father Forbes had made to the Turanians.

"Go and spend your money with them, then, and don't come insulting decent people," said Celia. "Before strangers, too!" the young man called out, with beery sarcasm. "Oh, we'll take care of the strangers all right." He had not seemed to be aware of Theron's presence, much less his identity, before; but he turned to him now with a knowing grin. "I'm running for the Assembly, Mr.

And thus it is that whether they are exhibited by man or animal, we admit their charm and pay our tribute to them, just as Theron's faithfulness to Roderick drew these words from the lips of the aged Severian: "Hast thou some charm, which draws about thee thus The hearts of all our house even to the beast That lacks discourse of reason, but too oft, With uncorrupted feeling and dumb faith, Puts lordly man to shame?"

Davis seemed to be; how her affection for her sister-in-law, the grocer's wife, disclosed itself to be not even skin-deep; how the children leaped upon the candy as if they had never seen any before; and how, in her belief, Mr. Davis would be heart and soul on Theron's side at the Conference. To her surprise, the young minister seemed not at all interested.

He had come mighty near forgetting that he was an invalid, and he protected himself the further now by assuming an air of lassitude verging upon prostration. "Yes; there's a light burning. It's all right," he heard Alice say. She entered the room, and Theron's head was too bad to permit him to turn it, and see who her companion was.

The latter threatened to appeal to the Government, and came into town for the purpose, vowing vengeance on Theron's devoted head. "I enjoy myself," said Theron to me, "when they threaten me. It is when they come to me with soft words that I cannot resist."

The moment you try on being somewhere else, you're done for. In all this world nobody else comes to such unmerciful and universal grief as the unfrocked priest." The phrase sent Theron's fancy roving. "I know a Catholic priest," he said irrelevantly, "who doesn't believe an atom in in things." "Very likely," said Sister Soulsby. "Most of us do.

But we could sleep there that night, and the next morning we could see what was to be done. During the evening the old father recounted, with much humour, his experience of Theron's merry band.

Terrible indeed must be the engagement when one of Theron's men is abandoned by his comrades. "No cowards need apply" was the motto of the band, held together by an esprit de corps without equal; and no cowards did. When the corps passed Frankfort Theron commandeered a horse from an alleged British subject.
