But first they sent a herald; for in Tedge's hand, as he lay in the pool, one waxen-leafed banner with a purple spear-point glittered in the sun.

Mrs. Egg felt that he must be horrible, naked, like a doll carved of coconut bark Adam had sent home from Havana.

We turned to resist this mysterious impulse which had sent us forth.

I sent all my people out on the patrols, though they were dropping with fatigue.

(I may say that food had been sent us, and wine from La Clairière and many other houses in the neighbourhood, where the women had gone for this among other reasons, that we might be nourished by them.)

I sent forth a shout that roused all, even the weary line of the patrol that was marching slowly with bowed heads round the walls; and there went up such a cry of joy as shook the earth.

If a messenger is to be sent, let it be some one not so indispensable' 'Why send a messenger?' said another, Philip Leclerc. '

If there is any one sent, let it be M. le Curé,' it said.

'They who have sent me would have you know that they come, not in anger but in friendship: for the love they bear you, and because it has been permitted' As he spoke his feebleness disappeared.

It sent a tremble into the air.

As I sat with my head in my hands, two talked to each other close by: 'Is it true that we have failed?' said one; and the other answered, 'Must not all fail that is not sent of the Father?' I was silent; but I knew them, they were the voices of my father and my mother.

We were as soldiers campaigning without a commissariat, or any precautions taken for our welfare; no food save what was sent to us from La Clairière and other places; no means of caring for our personal appearance, in which lies so much of the materials of self respect.

I had but one nap of five minutes' duration, leaning against a tree, when it occurred to me that Jacques Richard, whom I sent under escort half-drunk to the tent, was not the most admirable companion for that poor visionary Lecamus, who had been accommodated there.

I owe it to you that this unhappy drunkard has been sent to disturb me in my feebleness and the discharge of a public duty.'

A compunction seized my mind: I regretted to have sent that piece of noise and folly to disturb a poor man so suffering and weak.

The Bois-Sombres are poor, they have not a roof to shelter them save that of the old hotel in Semur, from whence they were sent forth like the rest of us.

I sent off messengers instantly to bring home the women and children, and called around me the men in whom I could most trust.

In 1855, Mr. Jefferson Davis, then Secretary of War, sent a military commission to Europe, composed of Major Delafield of the Engineers, Major Mordecai of the Ordnance, and Captain McClellan, just promoted from a Lieutenancy of Engineers to a Captaincy in the Cavalry.

Greenleaf found a carriage for Mrs. Sandford, and accompanied her to a private boarding-house, where she took lodgings; he then sent the driver back for her trunks, and, having seen her comfortably provided for, returned to his own rooms,but not to remain there.

It was evident that it was not an accidental detention, for her trunk had been sent for an hour previous, and the messenger either could not or would not give any information as to her whereabouts.

You might have detained the man who came for it, and sent for me.

Then she stood up in the center of the rock and sent forth the clear call, the summons for the tribe of Wohelo to come to the Council Fire.

The fire was burning low and the embers sent only a feeble glow around the Council Rock.
