James could afford to be modest about his achievements so long as Jeff was shouting his praises through the columns of the World to a hundred thousand readers of that paper. What the shipbuilder had said pleased him mightily. For Clinton Rogers was one of the few substantial moneyed men of Verden who had joined the reform movement.
George I. had a fleet cruising in the Baltic Sounds, and again a fleet; paying, in that oblique way, for Bremen and Verden; which were got, otherwise, such a bargain to his Hanover. Perhaps they would have stayed in Denmark altogether; much liking the green pastures and convenient situation, had not Admiral Norris with his cannon been there! Perhaps? And the Pretender is coming again, they say?
Understanding that a treaty was on the carpet between the czar and the king of Sweden, favourable to the duke of Holstein's pretensions to Sleswick, the possession of which the elector of Hanover had guaranteed to Denmark, his majesty began to be in pain for Bremen and Verden.
The coat she wore came to her ankles, but it could not conceal her light, strong tread nor the long lines of the figure that gave her the grace of a captured wood nymph. "Only five hundred miles from Verden. By night we ought to be in wireless communication," he suggested. Her glance flashed at him. "You'll be glad to get home." "I will and I won't. There's work for me to do there.
True to his own and his father's understanding with the pope, he invariably insisted on baptism as the sign of submission, punishing with appalling barbarity any resistance, as on the occasion of the revolt, A.D. 782, when, in cold blood, he beheaded in one day 4500 persons at Verden.
Gortz had conceived the design of allying Russia and Sweden, restoring Stanislaus in Poland, recovering Bremen and Verden from Hanover, and finally of rejecting the Hanoverian Elector from his newly acquired sovereignty in Great Britain by restoring the Stuarts.
"What precinct do youse live in?" Farnum was not quite sure. He explained that he had moved recently. Big Tim grunted scornfully. He was pleased to have a chance to take down the cheek of any Farnum. "What do youse think you can do?" "I can make speeches. I'm the best orator that ever came out of Verden University." "Tommyrot! How do youse stand in your precinct?
You sold out Jeff's bill. You're for yourself first and last, no matter who pays the price." "That's your interpretation of my career. But what does Verden think of me? No man stands higher among the best people of the community." "To hell with you and your best people. I say you're nothing but a whited sepulchre," snarled Miller. Suddenly he reached for his hat and left the office.
We don't know where she's gone. She had no money to speak of." "And the man?" Jeff almost whispered. "We don't know who he is. Might be any one of the clerks at the Verden Dry Goods Company. Maybe it's none of them. If I knew I'd cut his heart out." The clock on the wall ticked ten times before Jeff spoke. "Did she go alone?" "We don't know.
Later he learned that it is also the creed of the world. What Jeff could not understand was a mind which refused to accept the inevitable conclusions to which its own processes pushed it. Verden University lacked the courage which comes from intellectual honesty. Wherefore its economics were devitalized and its theology an anachronism. But Jeff had been given a mind unable to lie to itself.
