Yet when anything goes wrong she always sends for Adelaide Painter, who's more American than the Stars and Stripes, and might have left South Braintree yesterday, if she hadn't, rather, brought it over with her in her trunk." Darrow laughed. "Well, then, if South Braintree vouches for Miss Viner " "Oh, but only indirectly.
Superintendent Tinker, of the Western Union Telegraph Company, vouches for the following: A woman came to the Honorable Francis Kernan, member of Congress, with a pitiful tale, with which he went to the President. Her husband was a soldier who had been away from home a year. He deserted in order to have a glance at the family, and was captured on his way back to the front.
This being the case, it will not be considered objectionable to say that there are certain deeds attributed to holy men of olden days which, to speak frankly, are open to doubt; or at least not susceptible of proof. Who were these men, if they ever existed? and who vouches for their prodigies?
"Boardman knew every secret of poor old Hugh's heart. Dunham and Boardman have gone over all the documents and matters surrendered by Ferris, and the Senator vouches for Ferris' future silence. This is a present to Ferris, who let Dunham have the first privately telegraphed news of Hugh's death. "Why, sir. Dunham turned the market for a half million on that!
Every piece of furniture in it vouches, not only for the wealth of its owner, but that he has not yet got sufficiently habituated to the possession of it, to be as indifferent to its attributes as are those to whom custom has rendered splendour no longer a pleasure.

One often wonders how the pastes came to be so many and how they received their names. Names of some of them are accidents, as is illustrated by macaroni.

On the other hand there is no evidence at all that Caesar contemplated like Alexander a career of victory extending indefinitely far; it is said indeed that he had intended to march from Parthia to the Caspian and from this to the Black Sea and then along its northern shores to the Danube, to annex to the empire all Scythia and Germany as far as the Northern Ocean which according to the notions of that time was not so very distant from the Mediterranean and to return home through Gaul; but no authority at all deserving of credit vouches for the existence of these fabulous projects.
If the S.P.R. vouches for a story, it must be the McCoy; they're the toughest-minded gang of confirmed skeptics anywhere in Christendom. They take an attitude toward evidence that might be advantageously copied by most of the district attorneys I've met, the one in this county being no exception.... What's this story you're working on?"
I'm not sure he vouches for the Devil." "It's my firm conviction that there is one, Daniel, a red one with a forked tail; you see his works scattered around too often to doubt it." Dan nodded. Mrs. Owen had placed carefully under a weight a paper she had taken from her reticule. "Daniel," she looked around at the door again, and dropped her voice, "I believe you're a good man, and a clean one.
Her constant prayer in her younger days, for the truth of which Voltaire vouches, was: "Mon Dieu, faîtes de moi un honnête homme, et n'en faîtes jamais une honnête femme." Count Segur, in his book already referred to, has this to say further concerning Ninon: "Ninon shone under the reign of Louis XIV like a graceful plant in its proper soil. Splendor seemed to be her element.
