Two clubs of pleasure, called the Diamond and the Branch badges adopted by the Medici to signify their firmness in disaster and their power of self-recovery were formed to lead the revels. The best sculptors and painters devoted their genius to the invention of costumes and cars. The city affected to believe that the age of gold had come again. Fortune had been very favourable to the Medici.
Assingham to measure the feat of quick self-recovery, possibly therefore of recognition still more immediate, accompanying Amerigo's vision and estimate of the evidence with which she had been so admirably, she felt as she looked at him inspired to deal. She looked at him and looked at him there were so many things she wanted, on the spot, to say.
I, on the other hand, believe that if the murderer saw things as they truly are, he would himself claim his own death, as his best chance, his only chance in this mysterious universe! of self-recovery. Then it comes to this was the act murder? The English law of murder is not perfect, but it appears to me to be substantially just, and guided by it "
