They had little love for discussions. They managed the affairs of their castle and the surrounding country to the best of their ability.

They were sufficiently loyal to their king or emperor to keep on good terms with those distant but always dangerous potentates.
And Ah says to my girls and the possé, says Ah: 'There'll be a lot of fools start off at night-fall, to hit this trail to the Slide just out of dern-fool curiosity to have a squint at Old Montresor's Mine.

The judge walked away. He did not care to be mixed up in intrigue, even hypothetically, and especially with a member of the lower orders. "I'd do for her what I'd do for a daughter of my own, sir, neither more nor less." "Quite so, Tripe. If she gave you a letter to bring to me, you'd bring it, eh?" "Excepting barratry, the ten commandments, earthquake and the act of God, sir, yes."
Later Billy came to New York, where he met a certain rich young man, perhaps a thousand times as rich as any that lived in Palestine.

He had for years been putting forth something of his life-energy to keep them. Nor, however he had failed of perfection, had he missed the end for which they were given him to keep.
All his thoughts grew gentler, more forgiving. The boy's hard heart became soft. When the clergyman spoke of the Commandments and specially emphasised the one, "Honour thy father and thy mother," it seemed to Wolfgang there was much for which he must ask forgiveness; especially his mother's forgiveness.
He fulfilled the covenant with them, and the love and the vow He had made them, for He delivered us through many miracles, led us from bondage to freedom, clove for us the sea, and bestowed upon us six hundred and thirteen commandments." When Joshua had completed his discourse, a voice resounded from heaven, and said to Moses, "Thou hast only five hours more of life."
If thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, to love the LORD thy God, and to walk ever in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, beside these three: That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee.
254 “Have ye forbidden”, they were asked, “that which God hath made lawful, or allowed that which He hath forbidden?” “We were the first to follow the divine commandments”, he answered. “We are the root and origin of His Cause, the beginning of all good and its end. We are the sign of the Ancient of Days and the source of His remembrance amongst the nations.”
