I return to bed bad tempered, and refusing to listen to his further absurd suggestion that all the clocks in the house have entered into a conspiracy against me, take half an hour to get to sleep again. From four to five he wakes me every ten minutes. I wish I had never said a word to him about the thing.
As he had predicted, the fellow, who had witnessed the conversation, was compelled to accept its ostensible suggestion, and departed finally with a nonchalant shrug of his shoulders and a Tammany tilt of his hat over his eyebrows.
To this suggestion Clarendon paid no heed, for it was no part of the royal purpose to drive the colonies to desperation at a time when the King was but newly come to his throne and needed all his resources in the struggle with the Dutch.
His keen ears detected the coming of footsteps along the corridor without footsteps that approached the larger door. Always before had they come to the smaller door the footsteps of a single slave who brought his food. This time there were many more than one and their coming at this time of night carried a sinister suggestion. Tarzan continued to work at his scraping and chipping.
How often, since then, have Christ's servants been objects of popular odium at the suggestion of the same classes, and how often have the ignorant people been misled by their trust in their teachers to hate and persecute their true Master!

Conventional law is ordered by a wise man or men in conformity with the necessity of the persons, times and places, as the reason dictates, without special divine suggestion. Divine law is ordered by God through a prophet.
You issue no actual commands your power comes chiefly by suggestion! And with you, working for you I have thought day and night, night and day, of the glory of Rome! the dominion of Rome! the triumph of Rome! I have learned, under you, to wish for it, to pray for it, to desire it more than my own life! do you, can you blame me for that?
As we rose from our knees my host said to me, 'It is my duty to stay here, but I will not detain you. Jim will show you over the plantation. I will join you at the house when this is over. The scene was a painful one, and I gladly availed myself of the Colonel's suggestion. Mounting our horses, Jim and I rode off to the negro house where Scip was staying.
