Glad to be able to procure his friend this pleasure, Pierre, on his side, grew calmer, and found relief and momentary repose in sharing the other's simple repast and yielding to all the kindliness around him, far from his usual worries.
"Oh, no," she said, smiling sadly "I am going to live the simple life for a week. Going out shopping with Aunt Alison and perhaps sometimes to the pictures!" "Then I can drive you over?" "Yes if you would like to," she answered simply. I took my leave shortly afterwards and proceeded to the Planet office.
In many ways Wales was more civilised than England at that time. Its law was more simple and less developed, it is true; but it was more just in many cases, and certainly more humane.

I merely speak, and I am obeyed. I am merely spoken to, and I obey. Shall not God merely speak, and be obeyed likewise? There is discipline and order among men, because it is necessary. An Army cannot be manoeuvred, a Government cannot be carried on, without it. Is there not a discipline and order in all heaven and earth? And that discipline is carried out by simple word of command.
Effective teaching can never be done to pattern, for the simple reason that pupils are not machines or blocks of wood and cannot be turned out to sample.
"Sometimes you think, 'Are they married? In that play there is throughout a suggestiveness which would not be allowed in a music-hall." Ye gods and little Lauder, how beautiful and simple is the morality of the music-hall! "Be married and you will be virtuous" seems to sum it up.
