"Didn't you understand me to say I wanted to hear all about his march as soon as he finished supper?" "I certainly did," replied Captain Truman, with an accent on the I that meant volumes. "So did I," growled Hastings; but he never could bear Devers, who was persistently distorting or misunderstanding the orders the adjutant was compelled to convey to him.
An' you got the fastest horse in Burroback Valley and I don't know what I got under me. I'm seventy years old come September when I'm afoot. Are ye afraid to bet?" "I'm scared a dollar's worth that I'll never see you again to-day unless I ride back to find you," Bud grinned. "Any time you lose ole Pop Truman shucks almighty! Come on, then I'll show ye the way to the quarter-post!"
Truman, therefore, demanded of Downs the possession of the lieutenant's keys, and, with aggrieved dignity of mien, Downs had referred him to the doctor, whose suspicions had been earlier aroused. Intending to visit his sentries after the change of guard at 1.30, Truman had thrown himself into a reclining chair in his little parlor, while Mrs.
The names Woolward and Woolard come from the old word woolard, which meant wearing wool without any linen clothing underneath. This was often done by pilgrims and others who wished to do penance for their sins. Many surnames have come down from nicknames given to people because of their good or bad qualities. This is the origin of names like Wise, Gay, Hardy, Friend, Truman, Makepeace, Sweet, etc.
"I was just about gone, that's what I was. Let anybody so much as look at me twice and, pop! I'd want to cry about it." "And?" "For six weeks I didn't even have enough interest to ask after Truman, who was courting me then. Oh, it was no fun, I can tell you, that nervous breakdown of mine!" "What else?" "Isn't that enough?" "Did it was it was it ever hard to swallow, Jeanette?" "To swallow?"
Truman foremost of the four and first to receive his courteous, yet half embarrassed, greeting. They had to stop for half a second, as they later said, because really he confronted them, all unsuspected. But the other two, Kate Sanders and Mina Westervelt, with bowed heads and without a word, scurried by him and passed on down the line.
If they had been equally diligent in brickmaking, they might have built ten Babels; or if they had devoted similar energies, on Iago's hint, "to suckle fools, and chronicle small beer," they might have tripled the population, or anticipated the colossal vats of Messrs Truman & Co. What myriads of young faces have grown old over worsted parrots and linsey-wolsey maps of the terrestrial globe!
These are the things that give meaning to our lives, and which we acknowledge to be greater than ourselves. This is our cause peace, freedom, justice. We will pursue this cause with determination and humility, asking divine guidance that in all we do we may follow the will of God. State of the Union Address Harry S. Truman January 9, 1952 Mr. President, Mr.
In the days that followed, Rodney Gray was not the only one who wished it had been done. When darkness came on there were no lamps lighted to point out the position of the house to any roving band of marauders who might happen to be in the vicinity. The front door was thrown open, and Mrs. Truman sat just inside the room to which it gave entrance, so that she could see the road in both directions.
Davies was to relieve Hastings as troop duty officer for the week, and assume charge of roll-calls and stables, all matters between himself and his captain being incontinently shelved after conference with Cranston, Truman, and Hay, until such time as somebody beside Devers should sit in judgment on Devers's acts. The temporary post-commander spent very little of Tuesday morning in the office.
