They knew that eventually Texas would be taken away from Mexico, and taken by force. Her vast riches would belong to those who had earned them.

"Well, if you are not a Greek," he said, "I saw you the other morning near the Ambulance of the Press, to which I belong, and so you must be a spy." "If you are an Englishman," cried his friend, "why do you not go back to your own country, and fight Russia?" I replied that the idea was an excellent one, but that it might, perhaps, be difficult to pass through the Prussian lines. "The English Ambassador is a ...

Under these circumstances, I was rather puzzled ...

Only they overlook in their description of human nature just that faculty which they exercise in their speculation; their map leaves out the ground on which they stand.
