and to the point。  Let Louis Napoleon say;

〃I am content to follow my unclestill; I do not wish to improve upon
his last word。  Put me down for 'Tete d'armee。'〃

And Garret Davis; 〃Let me recite the unabridged dictionary。〃

And H。 G。; 〃I desire; now; to say a few words on political economy。〃

And Mr。 Bergh; 〃Only take part of me at a time; if the load will be
fatiguing to the hearse horses。〃

Governor; Senator; Presadieu; you know the rest。〃

And Seward。; 〃Alas!…ka。〃

And Grant; 〃O。〃

intentions。
