Early in his Ambassadorship he was spending a few days at Stratford-on-Avon, his hostess being an American woman who had beautifully restored an Elizabethan house; the garden contained a mulberry tree which she liked to think had been planted by Shakespeare himself. "Yes." "All?" "Yes." "Are you sure?" "Yes." "Then let's take hands and dance around the mulberry tree!" The great service in St.
Perhaps this ne'er-do-well father is to be classed as one of those rough coureurs de bois who, in his ambassadorship from his ancestors to their frontier posterity, forgot the conventions and manners of the ancestral life in the temptations of the open country to a man without a slave.
Mayor, and then governor and I wouldn't undertake to say where Weedie'd be willing to stop. Not short of an ambassadorship." "Choate," said Jeffrey cheerfully, "you're an alarmist." "Oh, no, I'm not. A man like Weedie can get anywhere, because he's no scruples and he can rake in mere numbers to back him. And it's all right. This is a democracy.
In 1742, during the Ambassadorship of the Marquis de l'Hopital at Naples, he saw in that city an aged man, well conformed, with the exception that, like the little girl of Winslow, he had the inferior extremities of a male child growing from his epigastric region.

There was Hawkins, the corporation lawyer; a shrewd fellow, cold as a corpse. He was named for an ambassadorship a very efficient man. Used to be old Wyman's confidential adviser and buy aldermen for him.
Wearying of success in Art, I might eventually go into Parliament: a Prime Minister with a thorough knowledge of history: why not? With Ollendorf for guide, I continued French and German. It might be the diplomatic service that would appeal to me in my old age. An ambassadorship! It would be a pleasant termination to a brilliant career. There was excuse for my optimistic mood about this period.
There is surely no need to deny our manhood, or become ashamed of this being that is "I" when He chose it for employment in ambassadorship.
