"Don't wish it, dear," he said. "That may have BEEN my view; but my doctrines and I begin to part company." "I knew it I knew it! And that's why I vowed I wouldn't disturb your belief.
"Who fired on us?" demanded these haughty Indians from Dakota, and the Kris replied, "The French". Then the Sious withdrew, but vowed to be completely revenged on the treacherous white man. When La Vérendrye reached Fort St. Charles its little garrison was almost at the point of starvation.
When the Slave saw this she was beside herself with rage, and vowed that if Taddeo did not leave the window, she would kill her baby when it was born.

The day on which this sum had to be disbursed from his strong box the old usurer vowed vengeance, but until he could gratify his hatred he was forced to conceal it, and to receive attempts at reconciliation with a friendly smile. It was not until six months later, on the occasion of a joyous festivity, that Martin again set foot in his uncle's house.
The rulers of Arabia and the Mamelukes tried to make their troopers believe that the Mahdi could keep them from perishing in battle; and they pretended he was an angel sent from heaven to fight Napoleon and get back Solomon's seal.

Conde, he said, had got his head stuffed full of almanacs whose predictions he wished to see realized. He vowed he would have shortened by a head the commander of the garrison who betrayed Mezieres, if he had been under his control.
"The man vowed I lied, but Tom laid hold of him and was for hurrying him off to Harrodstown at once." "Which would ill have suited your purpose," put in the Colonel. "And what did you do with him?" "We put him in a loft, sir, and then I told Tom that he was not Campbell's thief at all. But I had a craving to scare the man out of Kentucky.
"He says that you have given to him a year of Heaven, and that you seem to him like some archangel for the lower angels seem not high enough to set beside you." "'Tis as I said 'tis his heart that is noble," said Clorinda. "But I vowed it should be so. He paid he paid!" The country saw her lord's happiness as the town had done, and wondered at it no less.
There, pallid and tranquil, sat the Irish leader, whose hard insight, whose patience, energy, and spirit of command, had achieved this astounding result, and done that which he had vowed to his countrymen that he would assuredly be able to do. On the benches round him genial excitement rose almost to tumult. Well it might.
