He had two alarm-clocks made by Meunier, one in his carriage, the other at the head of his bed, which he set with a little green silk cord, and also a third, but it was old and wornout so that it would not work; it is this last which had belonged to Frederick the Great, and was brought from Berlin. The swords of his Majesty were very plain, with gold mountings, and an owl on the hilt.
IT WAS not until late the next afternoon that the wagon-train finally reached Bridgeport, and the weak, wornout mules had at last a respite from straining through the mud, under the incessant nagging of the teamsters' whips and their volleyed blasphemy. The Deacon's merciful heart had been moved by the sufferings of the poor beasts.

Frank and Maude got out and entered the small railed garden, in the centre of which the pedestal rose.

No more simple statue in all London, but human to a surprising degree. They stood for five minutes and stared at it.
The Federal lines were strengthened and the confidence of the Confederates began to falter. The losses of his exhausted and wornout troops in attempting to storm the batteries were terrible.
