I know of no prince who would despise it." "But a wife is sometimes a thing to be despised," said she. "Quite true," said Mr. Totten. "I've no doubt that the Prince of Graustark will despise his wife, and for that reason will be quite content to close both eyes and let her go on searching for her heart's desire." "She would be his Princess.
"I'm glad to know that. I'll talk with General Totten in a moment!" Again Mac Tavish came trotting past Rellihan. Morrison snatched away the telegram that his agent proffered; but the master demanded news before proceeding to open the missive. "There's summat in the air," reported Andrew. "Much blust'ring; the square is crowded!
Jack held in his hand a list of the better grade and middle-class hotels that Colonel Totten had given him. "Which hotel are we going to first?" asked Hal. "I don't know," uttered Jack, suddenly, sharply. "I know what I'm going to do, however." Leaning slightly forward the young submarine captain prodded the chauffeur lightly, twice, in the back a signal that had been agreed upon at need.
"Who is the young lady?" "Am I obliged, sir, to give her name in the matter?" "It will be better, Mr. Totten. You may be sure that your statement will be treated with all the consideration and confidence possible." Totten thereupon explained that the young woman in question was his cousin.
When they had departed the superintendent smiled at his reflection in the glass opposite. Before supper all of the midshipmen involved knew their fate. They were restored to full liberty. Darrin, Dalzell and Joyce were again rebuked for having taken such elaborate pains to escape recognizing Totten at the time of the encounter.
The alertness was especially noticeable; every soldier was tautly at 'tention when the boss warrior hove in sight. General Totten was portly and came down hard on his heels with an elderly man's slumping gait, and his sword clattered loudly and his movements were as well advertised as those of a belled cat in a country kitchen.
"He can't understand it at all. The crowds go over in June and July and by this time they should be starting for home. I thought we'd have no difficulty in getting on any one of the big boats, but, by jove, everywhere I went they said they were full up." "It was uncommonly decent of Blithers not coming down to see us off," said the elderly man, who was down on the passenger list as Totten.
Mr. Davis's opposition to conferring the brevet rank of lieutenant general upon General Scott was well known at the time. In pursuance of this request by the Senate, the following officers were appointed on the board: Generals Jesup, president, Wool, Gibson, Totten, Talcott, Hitchcock, and Colonel Crane.
After your expedition started I received documentary proof from Captains Sturgis, Schofield, and Totten, and a number of other officers, in regard to his conduct on those occasions, which destroyed all confidence in him. It was for that reason that I telegraphed to you so often not to let Siegel separate from you.
The scare was a bad one, and I have no hesitation in saying that, had we been mounted, it is more than likely that, instead of showing fight, we would have taken up a lively pace for Fort Stevenson. After reciprocal explanations with the officer in charge of the train, the march was resumed, and at the close of that day we camped near a small lake about twenty miles from Fort Totten.
