Página 284 - I protest before God and as my soul shall answer for it, that I think there were never in any place in the world worthier ships than there are for so many. And as few as we are, if the King of Spain's forces be not hundreds, we will make good sport with them.
Página 828 - He is at home in any society ; he has common ground with every class ; he knows when to speak and when to be silent; he is able to converse, he is able to listen; he can ask a question pertinently, and gain a lesson seasonably, when he has nothing to impart himself ; he is...
Página 425 - Queen will not remain where she is ; she cannot and will not be the Queen of a democratic monarchy ; and those who have spoken and agitated, for the sake of party and to injure their opponents, in a very radical sense must look for another monarch ; and she doubts [if] they will find one.
