"It would do me a heap more good to know what reply General Huerta will finally make to the American demand for satisfaction over the Tampico incident." "Huerta won't give in," Dan predicted. "If he did, he would he killed by his own Mexican rabble." "If Huerta resists, then he'll have to fight," Dave exclaimed, warmly.
"And then? When the turnkey comes back we shall overpower, bind, and gag him if he resists, strangle him. Then you will put on his clothes and don his sombrero, and as the moon rises late, and the prison is badly lighted, I have no doubt we shall run the gauntlet of the guard without difficulty.... That is a splendid ointment. You are almost as dark as a negro. Now for your feet." "My feet! I see!
"You mean the Quatrones may try to break you?" "Something like that." "Suppose Narcone er resists?" Donnelly shrugged, "We can't very well kill him, That's what makes it hard. I knew you had as much at stake as I, so I felt sure you'd help."
This stone is so soft, that, like clay, it may be cut through with any sharp instrument, and made to receive easily different figures, for building the walls of their houses and ramparts; but, when it has been imbibed with a sufficient quantity of rain or well water, it changes into a flint that resists the cutting of the sharpest instrument: whence the houses that are built of it in the two cities, appear as hewn out of one solid rock, and become harder, the more they are exposed to the inclemencies of the weather.
Con's road is my road; his duty my duty; it's all right only just at first I've got to steady my nerves!" Without a word Betty rose and laid the now-sleeping baby in a crib; then she came back to the low chair and opened her arms to little Ann with the heaven-given gesture that no child resists especially a suffering, lonely child. "Come here, little girl, to to Aunt Betty," she said.
But do not let him get away. Cut him down, if he resists!" The Prince, who was plainly visible only a short distance ahead, was so pleasantly employed that he had not noticed the approach of the ship.
"I saw your wife a couple of hours since. Africa seems to suit her less well; I was shocked to see Julia, the handsome matron, so altered. She does not look well." "Years are the foe of beauty." "Frequently they are, but true beauty often resists their attacks." "You are yourself the living proof of your assertion." "That is as much as to say that I am growing old."
Who art thou that thou darest to speak so boldly?" "I am Death," answered the other. "No one resists me, and thou also must obey my commands." But the giant refused, and began to struggle with Death. It was a long, violent battle, at last the giant got the upper hand, and struck Death down with his fist, so that he dropped by a stone.
The teacher, after watching some time for an opportunity to humble him, one day overhears a difficulty among the boys, and, looking out of the window, observes that he is taking away a sled from one of the little boys to slide down hill upon, having none of his own. The little boy resists as well as he can, and complains bitterly, but it is of no avail.
The truth is, that every man is, to a great extent, the creature of the age. It is to no purpose that he resists the influence which the vast mass, in which he is but an atom, must exercise on him. He may try to be a man of the tenth century: but he cannot. Whether he will or not, he must be a man of the nineteenth century.
