The war was prolonged for some years with varying success; on the whole the results were unfavourable to the Haedui. Their leader Eporedorix at length called out their whole clients, and marched forth with an enormous superiority of force against the Germans. These obstinately refused battle, and kept themselves under cover of morasses and forests.
I haven't had much experience with the ladies myself, except as clients, you know. The less I see of 'em, I think, the more I like 'em. Better put it off a little, Tom. It can be done any day, my boy, when you've an hour to spare. I wouldn't be in a hurry if I was you. There's a fresh sample ticketed every year; and they're not like port wine, you must remember, they don't improve with keeping."
At a time when the public interest needs a candid reconsideration of the basis and the purpose of the American legal system, they have either opposed or contributed little to the essential work, and in adopting this course they have betrayed the interests of their more profitable clients the large corporations themselves whose one chance of perpetuation depends upon political and legal reconstruction.
My carriage is waiting. The notary expects us between three and four o'clock." This notary was an exceptional man.

From his knowledge of Madame Alia's apartment, Orme knew that this door opened into the hall of the building, and the square of ground glass, with its reversed letters of the athlete's name, told him that it was used as the chief entrance. Madame Alia preferred her clients to enter into another room. In the farther corner of the interior Orme saw a large square table.
To these evils was added the farming on a large scale, which was probably already beginning to come into vogue, dispossessing the small agrarian clients, and in their stead cultivating the estates by rural slaves; a blow, which was more difficult to avert and perhaps more pernicious than all those political usurpations put together.
During court time it is crowded with jocose lawyers, anxious clients, sleepy jurors, and miscellaneous hangers on; disinterested gentlemen, who have no particular business of their own in court, but who regularly attend its sessions, weighing evidence, deciding upon the merits of a lawyer's plea or a judge's charge, getting up extempore trials upon the piazza or in the bar-room of cases still involved in the glorious uncertainty of the law in the court-house, proffering gratuitous legal advice to irascible plaintiffs and desponding defendants, and in various other ways seeing that the Commonwealth receives no detriment.
"Call a spade a spade and have done with it!" There was a little mingled laughter and cheers. Mr. Waddington swallowed his anger and went on with the sale. "Call it what you like," he declared, indulgently. "Our clients send us in these things with their own description and we haven't time to verify them all not likely.
