In days long gone by there were, as we all know, three kings at Cologne, and again three kings at Brentford. So also were there three kings at the Civil Service Examination Board. But of these three Sir Gregory was by far the greatest king. He sat in the middle, had two thousand jewels to his crown, whereas the others had only twelve hundred each, and his name ran first in all the royal warrants.
In the end the movement became so obnoxious to the Church, and so troublesome to the civil authorities, that both combined to secure its suppression. Equally significant in the history of religion is the dancing mania, which broke out as the mania for flagellation was subsiding.

I did and to no purpose." "If you were to see her now," Chevenix put in, "you could do some good. She'll be pretty lonely up there." Senhouse got up. "I'll see her," he said. "Whatever happens." "Right," said Chevenix. "That's a good man. That's what I wanted of you. I'll tell her that you're coming. Now I'm going to do the civil to Mrs. Germain."
