"If there be one thing I deprecate more than another it is the impertinent intrusion of sex into everything." "You surprise me," the Tenor answered idly. "When I first had the pleasure of meeting you, love was a favourite topic of yours." "Ah! at that time, yes," said the Boy.
Abul Fyze Khan, who was the ruler of the Usbegs at this period, boasted a lineal descent from Genghis; but he appears to have inherited none of the spirit of his great ancestor. He was terrified into submission at the approach of Nadir, and sent his vizier to deprecate the wrath of that monarch.

I deprecate, as I have always done, and as strongly as anyone can do, rowdyism in the form of violent opposition to free speech and freedom of meeting. It is as wholly unjustifiable, as it is unwise.
