They quickly surrounded him and made him their prisoner. "Come with us," they said, "and we will teach you that the king's soldiers are not to be trifled with." They took him to the British camp. "What is your name, young rebel?" said the British captain. "Andy Jackson." "Well, Andy Jackson, get down here and clean the mud from my boots."
It could not forget that in his zeal for its service that he had trifled with the North and suspected that, if self-interest prompted, he might break faith with the section which he now served with such ardor. The South, a decided minority in population, had long held its sway by artful appeals to the selfish ambition of Northern politicians.
I could make further exactions; but, without fearing the reverses of 1799, I must think of the future. Besides, I want tranquillity, to enable me to settle the affairs of the interior, and to send aid to Malta and Egypt. But I will not be trifled with. I will force an immediate decision!"
She bent her head as if she were stepping into a cave. So frigid was she, that a ridiculous dread of calling Mr. Whitford Mr. Oxford was her only present anxiety when Sir Willoughby had closed the window on them. "I prepare Miss Dale." Sir Willoughby thought of his promise to Clara. He trifled awhile with young Crossjay, and then sent the boy flying, and wrapped himself in meditation.

The rascals often venture into the China seas, and sometimes right up the strait of Malacca, though they like best to skulk about their own coasts, and steal out on any craft passing that way. If there is a good breeze we need not fear them; but they are fellows not to be trifled with. I must tell the master." Captain Van Deck was seen hurrying from his cabin and ascending to the mast-head.
Stronger than the six-feet width of wall, higher than the eighteen feet of adobe brick guarding us round about, was the stern strength of the young Boston man interned in the fort to protect us from within, as the strength of that structure defended us from without.
