I do not think the inimy can have found their way into these hills yet, for I don't know what they are to gain by it, but all the Delawares tell me that, as courage is a warrior's first vartue, so is prudence his second.

Betune you an' me an' Bobs, I was commandin' the company, an' that was what Cruik had thransferred me for, an' the little orf'cer bhoy knew ut, and I knew ut, but the comp'ny did not. And there, mark you, is the vartue that no money an' no dhrill can buy the vartue av the ould soldier that knows his orf'cer's work an' does ut at the salute!
"Look at' this," he proceeded, throwing away another handful of blood, "I've lost a quart of it by her." "Be the hand af my body," said one of them in a whisper, "he's like every coward, it's at his own blood he's cryin'; be the vartue of my oath, that man's not the thing to depind on." "Is she tied an' gagged?" he then inquired. "She is," replied those who tied her.
"True!" said the lady; "they died game, and I be n't ashamed of 'em. But I owes a duty to Paul's mother, and I wants Paul to have a long life. I would send him to school, but you knows as how the boys only corrupt one another. And so, I should like to meet with some decent man, as a tutor, to teach the lad Latin and vartue!" "My eyes!" cried Dummie; aghast at the grandeur of this desire.
I've no clear notion what a hell-hound is, but clearly it means something as bad, say, as a janissary the worst animal I ever came across." "Sup o' beer in 'im," snorted Joe contemptuously. "He dunna really know what beer is, my lady. It's a grand thing is beer, if y'll only tak' enough of it to do y' good, but there's no vartue in half a pint of it. I've told 'im that lots of times.
"With all my heart, Mr Vanslyperken, but none of your attacks on my vartue; recollect I am an honest woman." "Don't be afraid, my good Moggy I never hurt a child."

"Why, she turns him round her finger."
"Do you think so?" answered Bill, incredulously. "Don't you be scared, old man, but keep on stirring your soup and turning the meat, and I'll keep my eye on the bottles."
