The time required by mail contracts and the government schedule was nineteen days. The trip was frequently made in fifteen, but there were so many causes for detention that the limit was more often reached. Each two hundred and fifty miles of road was designated a "division," and was ...

Let me give a schedule, or list, of one of these representative conventions for a long time before, and inclusive of, that which nominated Buchanan.

She was not the greatest talker I ever knew; she was not even the fastest; she was always willing to wait until her turn came, but she had wonderful endurance for a steady stretch. She never made a ...

To raise this revenue was difficult—in fact impossible, and the amount actually obtained was ...

And often and often, she slipped away to bed early, disturbing no one with a good night kiss to ...

We went so at our own sweet will, without any set time or schedule, that we were constantly finding objects and points of surprise and interest. When we landed, the algae, which sometimes filled the little harbors, the limpets and lichens of the rocks, the fucus pods that snapped beneath our feet, the grasses of the beach, ...
