"Comrades!" continued the earl, then addressing the retainers, "when the children fight for a father's honour, the father flies not from the peril into which he has drawn the children. What to me were life, stained by the blood of mine own beloved retainers, basely deserted by their chief? Edward has proclaimed that he will spare none. Fool! he gives us, then, the superhuman mightiness of despair!
"Fall in line, there, deputy-governor, diddle-dee-dee!" La Chesnaye cuffs the fellow's ears. "Diddle-dee-dee! Come on, marquis. Does Your High Mightiness give place to a merchant's son? Heaven help you, gentlemen! Come on! Come on! Diddle-dee-dee!" And we all march to M. de Radisson's cabin and sit down gravely at a long table.
"Not acquainted! Darsn't you speak to her high mightiness then?" "Oh, yes, I can speak to her when there is occasion, but that does not make one acquainted. I don't understand her." "I do, perfectly. She thinks herself a wonderful deal better than you or me." "Perhaps she is," he admitted. "Well! that's a nice speech to make to ME! I was a fool to break my engagement and go with you."
It is the latter, the Teutonic, that is in the minor key, and full of wistful sadness. There is an earnestness about it: a recognition of, and rather mournful acquiescence in, the mightiness of Fate, which is imagined almost always adverse.
Lewis was a dazzling figure; he should make a great match; money and pretty looks and parvenu blood were not enough for his high mightiness. So it came about that, when they had explored the house, circumnavigated the loch, and had tea on a lawn of heather, she informed her party that she must get out at Haystounslacks, for she wished to see the farmer, and asked Bertha to keep her company.
Speaker Mullenberg, at the first Presidency, pronounced on the question at a dinner where Washington was sitting. Wynkopp there, it would be appropriate enough! But, if by chance a President as small as my opposite neighbor should be elected, his high mightiness would be ridiculous!"
You have not stolen the bag and handed over the despatches to some of your own people, claiming a reward for the safe conveyance of such important documents, eh?" "Stolen? For what does your mightiness take me?"
What honest man that can choose his lot would be a prince, let us say, and have all society walking backwards before him, only obsequious household-gentlemen to talk to, and all mankind mum except when your High Mightiness asks a question and gives permission to speak?
The question of title was raised; and it was understood that Washington would have liked to be called "His High Mightiness, the President of the United States and Protector of their Liberties." No action was taken, and the simple title of "Mr. President" was by common consent adopted. The duties of the President were clearly defined by the Constitution.
"Something to the effect that if the office was certain to be held by men as large as Washington, the title of 'High Mightiness' would not be amiss; but that if a little man say like Aaron Burr should be elected, the title would be a ridiculous one. The fact is, Muhlenberg is against any title whatever but that of 'President of the United States." "And how will you vote, John?"
