He was the judge and the settler of all disputes, and none thought of combating his decisions. He was the village peacemaker. He hated profanity, drunkenness, and unkindness to women. He was feared and respected by all, and even the Clary Grove Boys declared, at last, that he was "the cleverest feller that ever broke into the settlement." All the time, too, he was trying to improve himself.
Others don't know the dog was dead when he had his picture taken. They all say he looks as though about to snap a piece out of your leg. Now, I think we've just had a glorious time of it up here, with nothing to mar our pleasure," remarked Frank, the peacemaker. "Except that miserable job of mine in leaving my knife home," sighed Bluff. "Talk to me about that, will you!
Love, the great peacemaker, interposed, and reconciling the rivals, proposed to change the game to Colin Maillard-Anglice, "Blind Man's Buff." Rosalie clapped her hands, and offered herself to be blindfolded. The tables and chairs were cleared away; and Madame Beaver pushed the Pole into Rosalie's arms, who, having felt him about the face for some moments, guessed him to be the tall Frenchman.
"You said yesterday that he was a vagabond." "I said so, I know, but it is not true." "You said, too, that he was a robber." "What! I said that? Impossible. I didn't say that." Old Demetrius here intervened as a peacemaker. "You said it, John, you did indeed; but you were angry, and at such times a man says more than he means."
"Oh, she's smart," said Bog, totally oblivious of her rheumatism, "and sent her love to ye." Bog was a peacemaker. "Sent her rheumatism, I guess yer mean. No doubt she wishes I had it." Bog laughed, and his uncle laughed. And then his uncle, never forgetting duty, took a sharp look out of the eight clearly polished windows that commanded a view of the surrounding district.
I was never able to find the slightest ground for this report, which refers to a time when the smallest circumstance could not escape my notice. The character of Bonaparte stood too high for him to sacrifice his glory as a conqueror and peacemaker for even the greatest private advantage.
The Institution of War which in later years was to make him the very Rock of Empire was now, for a time at least, to be his undoing. Before the conflict with the Boers Lloyd George was a militant pacifist a sort of peacemaker with a punch. When England invaded the Transvaal Lloyd George began a battle for peace that made him for the first time a force in Imperial affairs.
"That makes the matter worse, you robber!" she retorted, smiling good- naturedly at his broad mimicry of her Irish pronunciation. "Why, ye're adding insult now to injury, sure." "Never mind, Polly," interposed her brother, acting as peacemaker between the two. "The Captain will show you how to cook soles properly the next time he catches any."
If any one, upon his rare powers of speaking, shall claim an exemption from the drudgery of the law, his case is a failure in advance." Discourage going to law. "Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser in fees, expenses, and waste of time. As a peacemaker the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man.
The story was never cleared up, but reasons of policy brought about an order that, as heir to the Crown, the Duke should not again assume active command. This success, incomplete as it was, might have seemed to offer a good opportunity for coming to a settlement, and again Louis XIV. was ready to give his services in the capacity of peacemaker.
