I have come in to ask you if you will let me have five-and-twenty of your men.

I have strong reason to believe that it is likely one of the bands of rapparees will make an attack on Mrs.Conyers' house tonight.

The tenants have been asked to send in their waggons, tomorrow, to remove some of the furniture in here, and I think it probable they will try to take what they fancy, before it starts.

I have brought Mrs.Conyers and her daughter into the town, but, as I have only four men, I cannot defend the house if it is attacked in any force.
I wish you would let me have five-and-twenty men, and a sergeant, just for tonight.

I will march them in with the baggage in the afternoon." "Certainly I will," Captain Donovan said.
