"Oh! if you are a stranger here," said the man, "as I believe you are, never having seen you here before except last night, when I think I saw you above stairs by the glimmer of a candle I say, if you are a stranger, you are quite right to be cautious; queer things being done in this fair, as nobody knows better than myself," he added with a leer; "but I suppose if the landlord of the house vouches for me and my notes, you will have no objection to part with the horse to me?"
"Provided he find the places where the horses stand concealed." "These he cannot fail to find. They are accurately designated in a little note which my lover, when he has charge of the prison-yard, will contrive to convey to him. Schnell's known fidelity vouches for the horses being in readiness.
The man who had fired it fell dead, while Gozbert continued his promenade in no way injured by the blow. The Abbe D'Abbon vouches for these miracles on the part of St. Germain in defence of his faithful city. Although for a time the Northmen abstained from grand assaults, continued skirmishes took place.
The author of the History of the Devils of Loudzin gives an account of one of these circumstances, for the authenticity of which he vouches, and from which we extract the following: "Some days after the execution of Grandier, Pere Lactance fell ill of the disease of which he died.
"But you can't know him very well. He's been here only a few weeks, hasn't he?" "More than a month. And from the first he's gone everywhere." "That's quite unusual for your set, isn't it? I thought you rather prided yourselves on being careful about outsiders." "No one's an outsider whom Jinny Willard vouches for. Besides every one likes Hal Surtaine for himself." "You among the number?"
Maitre Dalboy said, thoughtfully "I do not remember the name among our maitres d'escrime." "The Earl of Marlborough himself vouches for the skill of Master Holliday with the sword. His grandfather, Colonel Holliday, was, I believe, noted as one of the finest blades at the court of Saint Germains." "I have heard of him," Monsieur Dalboy said, with interest.
Waring, and the two women sat down in the arbor, and at once were at ease and at home with each other. Bruno came up, eyed and smelled the new-comer, and snuggled down on her skirts to go to sleep. "He vouches for me," she said nodding. "You must take me at his valuation." "He makes no mistakes." "Nor do you, I suspect. That reminds me, Miss Swendon.
To vouch for one, is to bear witness for him; and, in witnessing to truth, every caution should be observed, lest falsehood should cunningly assume its garb. The Brother who vouches should, therefore, know to a certainty that the one for whom he vouches is really what he claims to be.
I believe it was the first instance on record where the defenses ran away, leaving the defenders uncovered. It marked a new, but unsuccessful, phase of war. An officer who was present at the defense of Milliken's Bend vouches for the truth of the story. The Rebels captured a portion of the garrison, including some of the white officers holding commissions in negro regiments.
It so happened that Lorenzo's brother Giuliano, who was assassinated later by the Pazzi, loved, very tenderly, a lady named Simonetta, reputed to be the most beautiful woman in all Florence; so great was her fame that she was quite generally spoken of as la bella Simonetta, and the artist Botticelli, who had an eye for a pretty woman, has left us a portrait which vouches for her charms in no uncertain way.
