He's just a young flagrant pup, you wouldn't be bothered to notice, 'less you had the particular likin' for such things we got." "Radcliffe wants Flicker. I'll give you ten dollars for him." "I I couldn't take it, Mr. Ronald, sir. It wouldn't be fair to you!" "Fifteen dollars." "It ain't the money " "Twenty!" "I I can't!" "Twenty-five dollars, Martha. Radcliffe's heart is set on the dog."
The Senate could do nothing more than express and record this opinion, but it did that promptly, resentfully, almost passionately. The House took up the matter in hot temper and in hot haste. A flagrant offense against the Constitution and the laws had, in the judgment of a majority of its members, been committed by the President.
"We met sometimes in the little temple I told you about, sometimes among the vines; now by honest accident, now by flagrant design; and found a ready-made rendezvous, romantic as one could wish, in the cave down all those subterranean steps. Then the sea would call us my blue champagne my sparkling cobalt and there was the dingy ready to our hand. Oh, those nights!

Sir Isaac Coffin seconded the motion, and in doing so denounced the project as a most flagrant imposition. He would not consent to see widows’ premises invaded; and “What, he would like to know, was to be done with all those who had advanced money in making and repairing turnpike-roads?
He feared that he had done wrong in going with Priscilla in the Tortoise, wrong of a particularly flagrant kind. He thought of himself as a man of responsibility placed in the position of trust. Had he been guilty of a breach of trust? It seemed remotely unlikely, so cheerful and sparkling was the sea, that any accident could possibly occur.
By this cession, then, Spain ceded a territory in reality of no value to her and obtained concessions of the highest importance by the settlement of long-standing differences with the United States affecting their respective claims and limits, and likewise relieved herself from the obligation of a treaty relating to it which she had failed to fulfill, and also from the responsibility incident to the most flagrant and pernicious abuses of her rights where she could not support her authority.
