I cannot say that such cases of rough handling were frequent; but cases in which true-blue shipwrecked tars were treated as impostors were numerous, so that, in those days, knaves and rascals often throve as wrecked seamen, while the genuine and unfortunate men were often turned rudely from door to door. This state of things does not exist now.
It is really superfluous to say this. And now please assume that we took the advice of the gentlemen who think that we should play the part of an arbiter I have here another article from a Berlin paper, called "Germany's Part as Arbiter" and that we declared to Russia in some polite and amicable way: "We have been friends, it is true, for hundreds of years, Russia has ever been true-blue to us when we were in difficulties, but now things are different.
"Stand out, John Whittlesey," he directed; and I found myself face to face with that rifleman of Colonel Davie's party who had been so fierce to hang me at the fording of the Catawba. This man gave his testimony briefly, telling but the bare truth. A week earlier I had passed in Davie's camp for a true-blue patriot, this though I was wearing a ragged British uniform at the moment.
My chum Greville was the worst, I think; he kept asking for all sorts of ridiculous things, and was very angry when he couldn't get them. "Avez-vous du vin de Cockalorum?" he asked of one fellow: of course Greville spoke real true-blue English-French. "Coque-a-lorrrrme?" said the waiter.
But pazienza!" She gave her shoulders a light little shrug. "The Kingdom of Italy will not last forever." "We will devoutly hope not," concurred Anthony. "Meanwhile, I am glad to note that in politics you are a true-blue reactionary." "In Sampaolese politics," said she, "reaction would be progress.
"You'll run up against a few cads like that fellow," explained Frank to Ned. "Use 'em up in one chapter, and stick to the real friends I'll introduce you to." "Jordan, you're a true-blue brick," declared Ned heartily, "but I know from experience how these things go " "There's the rally whistle for our crowd, so I've got to go," interrupted Frank; "but four o'clock at my room.
Murray Melville, what were you about, sir, to let your sister disgrace herself and her family name by such an outrageous transaction?" I quaked a bit. If Murray should fail me! But Murray was true-blue. "I gave Prue a free hand, sir. It's an honest business transaction enough and the family name alone won't send us to college, you know, sir." Uncle Abimelech glared at us.
We were not plaster saints, but we were either Idealistic and perhaps foolish people who attached great importance to the freedom and security of small nations and all those items in the programme of idealistic Radicalism, or else we were good, red-hot, true-blue Jingoes with a hearty hatred for Germany, and enjoyed the thought that the big fight which we had long foreseen between the two countries was at last going to be fought out.
There's one story more in this true-blue faith list. It is the story of the Greeks. At first it seems not to belong in here. There is no mention made of the faith of these men nor of their acceptance of Jesus.
At least, that was the label on the decanter, and I have no reason to suppose that a woman like your aunt staunch, true-blue, British would deliberately deceive the public. If she labels her decanters Whisky, then I consider that we know where we are." "A whisky and soda, eh? You couldn't have done better." "Soda?" said Gussie thoughtfully. "I knew there was something I had forgotten."
