You'll be wounded and you'll be promoted.... Then the Allies will win.
Whose sympathy could she be sure of, if not of his? Still she had longed to keep this treasure to herself. She took the letter in her hand. "I do not answer them, Uncle Jethro, but I cannot prevent his writing them," she faltered. She did not confess that she kept them, every one, and read them over and over again; that she had grown, indeed, to look forward to them as to a sustenance.
Occasionally some one shouted: perhaps a dozen young fellows broke out in song; but the shout was provocative of nothing, the song faltered as if the singers were frightened at their own voices. One blithe fellow, with a bear's head on his fur-capped shoulders, began to dance; but, on the crowd stopping to observe him seriously, he apparently thought better of it, and slipped away.
'There was another question that I much desired to speak of, and here he hesitated and faltered; 'but perhaps, on every score, it is as well I should defer it till my return to Ireland. 'You know best, whatever it is, said the old man dryly. 'Yes, I think so. I am sure of it. 'A hurried shake-hands followed, and he was gone.
But dear faithful John never faltered. We must always love him for that. How humiliating for us if not even one had stood that test.

"Mother," said Kate timidly. "Well, what is a-coming now? no good news though, by the look of you. What on earth can make the poor wretch so scared?" "An avowal she hath to make," faltered Kate faintly. "Now, there is a noble word for ye," said Catherine proudly. "Our Gerard taught thee that, I'll go bail. Come then, out with thy vowel." "Well then, sooth to say, I have seen her." "And?"
But I never expected to find you here, Juliet, much less to witness the death of that wretched woman." "I am sorry," faltered Juliet, as she sat with his arms round her, "I don't know why she wanted to throw vitriol at me. She failed to hurt me, and I think she has killed Lord Caranby, and " "I must see to my uncle," said Mallow, rising, "stay here, Juliet."
