Was it anxiety lest his victorious entrance into Paris might undo the diplomacy of his catholic envoys at Rome? or was it simply the mutinous condition of his army, especially of the Swiss mercenaries, who refused to advance a step unless their arrears of pay were at once furnished them out of the utterly empty exchequer of the king?
To London we must take it, for this reason the closure of this case is no jeweler's work; of that I have quite convinced myself. It is the work of a first-rate lapidary, and the same sort of man must undo it." To this I agreed quite readily, because of such things I knew nothing; whereas my host spoke just as if he had been brought up to both those walks of art.
There only wants the Ceremony of the Law to undo what's between you and Diana, if she remain a Virgin. Bel. For me, by Heav'n she is; And for the rest, I do not doubt her Virtue. Dia. You may believe him, Sir; and this alone's the Man, in whom I will, or never will be happy. Lord. Mr. Friendlove!
How can it undo the wrong? It will be a certain sort of reparation, but it cannot bring him happiness, for I cannot give him back my heart. To whom will it bring happiness? Has happiness become impossible? Are we all three doomed to eternal misery? Oh! David, why have you done this?" He did not reply, but sat cowering in his chair.
Hastily drawing up one of the wooden shutters, he placed himself near the other window, observing fiercely; "I don't propose you shall undo what's being done for you. Let me hear from you" jerking his finger toward the square "and I'll not answer for what I'll do." But in spite of his admonition he read such determination in her eyes, he felt himself baffled.
The birth of an heir would meet the danger which he looked for from the succession of William and Mary.

A sufficiently arrogant loftiness of bearing would, he hoped, carry him through the matter.
It was not many nights after, that the woman's child died, and she cried a great deal for it. She said to Old Man: "Let us change this. The law that you first made, let that be a law." He said: "Not so. What is made law must be law. We will undo nothing that we have done. The child is dead, but it cannot be changed. People will have to die." That is how we came to be people. It is he who made us.

Batten and his Lady do, who has a good estate besides his office. A good dinner we had of boeuf a la mode, but not roasted so well as my wife used to do it.
Don Diego; "all I can tell thee is that I have seen him act the acts of the greatest madman in the world, and heard him make observations so sensible that they efface and undo all he does; do thou talk to him and feel the pulse of his wits, and as thou art shrewd, form the most reasonable conclusion thou canst as to his wisdom or folly; though, to tell the truth, I am more inclined to take him to be mad than sane."
