The proclamation of peace followed amidst general rejoicing both in England and the Netherlands; but for some five weeks the existence of the Act was unknown to the States-General, and during that period, as a fact, it remained in Van Beverningh's possession still undelivered. Early in June a bribe induced one of De Witt's clerks to betray the secret to Count William Frederick.
In the general jubilation they saw fit to leave their message undelivered. For years the taint of rebellion clung to the Hartford Convention, and forced its secretary, in 1833, to publish his "History," a defense of its members and their measures. Even this did not remove the stigma.
See in particular the "Rise of the Dutch Republic" and the other works of John Motley on the history of the Netherlands all of which are available at Project Gutenberg. A few French generals who were by and large ineffective; and many promises of gold which were undelivered.
They had come to him in visions as he prayed, and always with a weight upon his soul as of a message undelivered. He had taken his first opportunity after his return from the East to go to them; but it had not been as soon as he had hoped.
They discarded the rigmarole of being pro and con, of having favorite nationalities, and pet aversions, and undelivered perorations in their bosoms. They left that to the political chiefs. But in an American Embassy I once heard an ambassador say that he never reported anything to Washington which would not cheer up the folks at home.
Hitherto the American office has not taken upon itself the task of returning to their writers undelivered and undeliverable letters. This it is now going to do. It is, as I have said, shaking off from itself that terrible incubus, the franking privilege.
Cousin Agatha is about her housekeeping, and I have read the afternoon paper all through, even the list of undelivered letters and the woman's page, and I just want to see the Gilbert Stuart picture," she concluded, exercising, one is afraid, a certain economy in regard to the truth. This was a little too much. This, Rudolph Musgrave decided, was a case demanding firm and instant action.
Was it not perhaps a coincidence not an answer to his own letter, but one of those extraordinary instances of what is called telepathy? Her words would bear either interpretation. Possibly the whole family was returning with her. Possibly she had never seen his letter at all. Possibly it was following her back to America, unopened and undelivered. "Sailing by Touraine arriving sixth."
He swallowed the exceeding sourness of a retort undelivered, together with the feeling that she beat him in the wrangle by dint of her being an unreasonable wench. Madge huffed away to fill her boxes. He stood by the cart, hands deep down his pockets, when she descended.
The third player turned up a black ace it was the ace of clubs. The next received a diamond, the next a heart, and so on; but the ace of spades was still undelivered. At last, Geraldine, who sat upon the Prince's left, turned his card; it was an ace, but the ace of hearts. When Prince Florizel saw his fate upon the table in front of him, his heart stood still.
