"And you expect me still to feel the same towards you, I suppose? To behave as though nothing had come between us?" For a moment his control gave way. "I expect nothing," he said hoarsely. "I shall never ask you for anything again neither love nor friendship. As you have decreed, so it shall be!" Slowly, with bent head, Diana turned and left the room. So this was the end!
The "Powder of Inheritance." The Chambre Ardente. The Comtesse de Soissons's Arrest Decreed. The Marquise de Montespan Buys Her Superintendence of the Queen's Council. Madame de Soubise. Madame de Maintenon and the King.
Tell her that if I know not how to thank her for that she hath decreed banishment for a noble of our ancient house she who hath lived in our land of Cyprus these few years of her little life if I lack the grace to be so good a courtier yet I humbly thank her for these orchids which might have sprung from some mouldering trunk in a forgotten corner of my estates.
Bayard Taylor expresses the peculiar genius of America in his national ode: From the homes of all, where her being began She took what she gave to man. Justice, that knew no station, Belief as soul decreed, Free air for aspiration, Free force for independent deed.
This letter was read by Sergius, the praetor, first in the senate, and then, by the direction of the fathers, in a general assembly; and supplications of five days' continuance were decreed on account of those successes.

It was decreed that no motion of agreement "with the tyrant of Spain" should be entertained either publicly or privately, "under pain to be reputed ill patriots."

For all these acts of beneficence, amongst other honours, a golden shield was decreed to him, which the colleges of priests were to carry annually, upon a fixed day, into the Capitol, with the senate attending, and the youth of the nobility, of both sexes, celebrating the praise of his virtues in songs.
"Oh, my God! my God!" said the queen, weeping, and raising her hands to heaven, "it is then decreed that I should be fatal to all around me!" George was not deceived: it was William's horse coming back without his young master and covered with blood.
This transpired, and it must have been about this period that the Assembly decreed that no deputy could hold an office as a minister of the King until the expiration of two years after the cessation of his legislative functions. I know that the Queen was much hurt at this decision, and considered that the Court had lost a promising opening.
With this conduct the people of Athens were so well pleased, that they decreed the recall of Demosthenes from banishment. The decree was brought in by Demon the Paeanian, cousin to Demosthenes. So they sent him a ship to Aegina, and he landed at the port of Piraeus, where he was met and joyfully received by all the citizens, not so much as an Archon or a priest staying behind.
