"It's a pity you lost that second cigar. And, by the way, where did you get it?" Garrison realized that, despite his intended precautions, he had gone irretrievably into disclosures that were fetching the case up to Dorothy or young Foster Durgin.

When can you expect a reply from Vienna?" "By noon, your majesty," replied the Austrian, "but are you irretrievably bound to your present policy? Remember the power of Austria, sire.

Through the mingled formalities of Court etiquette and filial duty, she could never penetrate to Victoria.
"I know now what I am," said this unfortunate prince to those who endeavoured to comfort him; "there are virtues which misfortune only can teach us, and it is in adversity alone that princes learn to know themselves."
