And yet is not the same thing done every day in society by charming young ladies, aided and abetted by most prudent, respectable, and decorous fathers and mothers? Let these, who think themselves so sinless, cast the first stone at Susan Bennett. But to Christian, who had never been in society, and did not know the ways of it, the sensation conveyed was one of absolute repulsion. She rose.
William had married through a misplaced sense of chivalry offered himself up as a sacrifice as it were. I understood then why Marion had written so much about luggage and nothing about connubial bliss the union was bound to turn out a ghastly failure under such circumstances.

The votes of these poor folks, admitted by thousands to the electorate, have sent to Westminster the hireling orators whose persistent clamour has turned a slippery statesmen from the paths of patriotism and propriety, and whose subterranean machinations aided and abetted by men versed in Jesuistic and Machiavellian strategy, and who believe that the end justifies the means threaten to undermine the British Empire, and to involve the citizens of England in political and financial ruin.

The deaf man made the blind man acquainted with the course of things. They declared that the time which had elasped since Coblentz had not existed.
The whole performance had been punctuated with such hysterical laughter from Kathleen that she was too weak to be of any real use, she simply aided and abetted the chief conspirator.
