We have no right to do this, so long as the Church is kept pure, and suffers not by the delinquencies of her children. If the limb be unworthy and unsound, let it be lopped off. You have heard that the worldly affairs of our brother are crushed; it is whispered abroad that there is reason to fear the commission of discreditable acts. Is this so?
The hearing began and progressed, and there was much laughter when the delinquencies of certain fat policemen were related it was a free-and-easy affair a sort of midsummer fantasy in municipal politics a squabble between ward bosses who had become jealous in matters of the distribution of police patronage. Walker Farr, standing against the wall of the audience-chamber, did not laugh.
Such delinquencies were quite outside the young man's accustomed way of his life. It had been one of his recognised virtues that, living as he did a good deal among sporting men and with a full command of means, he had never drank.
Early in December, William Davison, gentleman-in-ordinary of her Majesty's household, arrived at the Hague; a man painstaking, earnest, and zealous, but who was fated, on more than one great occasion, to be made a scape-goat for the delinquencies of greater personages than himself.

Our tent is in a charming spot, and, from without, makes a picture to be remembered. The yellow illumination from within strikes on the under sides of the walnut boughs, while the moonlight silvers them from above.
In the little garden there was such a brave show of jonquils and daffodils that it looked like a golden paradise. Mrs. Tryon was sitting by the fire in a little room which opened into the kitchen. She was deaf and her sight was dim, but it pleased her to believe that she still kept ears and eyes open to her servant's delinquencies.
He had already complained of me for very trivial delinquencies and would hardly let this pass. And yet he might. Was it a crime to drive with a young girl of stainless reputation under her mother's oversight? No. I had done nothing wrong, except to say that I was going to Komptendorf and that offence concerned only Dr. Boltze, to whom I had made the false statement.
Perkins looked at Jane with sorrow on her countenance, for she had acquired an affection for her which the maid's delinquencies had not been able to efface. "Can't you try and do better?" she asked. "No, ma'am," returned Jane. "Not with the system never. Mr. Perkins is too easy, and you do be so soft-hearted it don't keep a girl up to her work.
