'I have it still. 'So I perceive, he answered, smiling. 'Do you always carry it about with you, like a modern Lucrezia Borgia? 'Yes, she answered quietly; 'it never leaves me, you see, with a sneer. 'As you said yourself, it's always well to be prepared for emergencies. 'So it appears, observed Vandeloup, with a yawn, sitting up. 'I wouldn't use that poison if I were you; it is risky.
Thought and feeling in some emergencies will do more than the grandest pulpit eloquence quenched by a Sunday dinner. The hickory fire burned cheerily in the parlor after tea, and all drew gladly around its welcome blaze. But even the delights of roasting chestnuts from the abundant spoils of the afternoon could not keep the heads of the children from drooping early.
Equally, when Great Britain, under the emergencies of the French Revolution, resorted to measures that overpassed her rights, either municipal or international, and infringed our own, the resort should have been to the remedy with which nations defend their rights, as distinct from their interest.
Even outside of the doctrine of implied powers by which our written Constitution has been made to meet many of the emergencies of our history, there are important things in our National life that have all the force of organic law which are unprovided for by the Constitution. For example, the Constitution does not say that a congressman must live in the district which he represents.

Would it be possible for those countries, whose finances and revenues are carried to the highest perfection, to carry on the operations of government on great emergencies, such as the maintenance of a war, without an uncontrolled power of raising money?
The novel battle continued for four hours, when the Merrimac, unable to defeat her nimble antagonist, steamed back to Norfolk and the strange contest the first between ironclads was over. The Monitor had proven her inestimable value and was held in reserve by the Government for future emergencies. But the first battle between the two proved the last.
That program must stimulate and take more effectively into account the contributions of our allies, and provide central policy direction for all our own programs that now so often overlap, conflict or diffuse our energies and resources. Such a program, compared to past programs, will require more flexibility for short run emergencies
The body frequently plays traitor in emergencies, and my repugnance conquered me so that I pushed her away before I had time to think. Then I knew that I must make amends. "The beauty of your hair is like the black ice with the moon on it," I said in Ottawa. "You must not soil it."
