Is that people wish TO be happy; but

These were rival factions, or rival

They fell upon each other fiercely, and

to means of the offensive, just as his
chief rival pondered the results pos

Meantime, the truth remained that
the key to all this coil was absent, nor
was she apt to return. Kitty Gray
certainly must cherish a keen memory
of injuries she had known on these
shores. The armies Of America might
come back, the ships Of America might
anchor in these ports, their guns might
exact apology or tribute-but Kitty
Gray herself would not return, that
was sure. Therefore affairs halted.

narrow enough in fact, yet potentially
it lay UNNECESSARILY wide.

neither of these two much concerned
himself There were other things
