C. Nam et scripsisti aperte quid tibi videretur; for you distinctly wrote your opinion. T. Now, what is the force of “nam”? C. pauses; then, It refers to “accessit” … it is an explanation of the fact, that Appius’s opinion was a help. T. “Et”; you omitted “et” … “et scripsisti.” C. It is one of two “ets”; et scripsisti, et Atticus. T. Well, but why don’t you construe it?
Is it the Odéon that awaits her the second prize? for in her modesty she had only hoped for a premier accessit. "Mademoiselle Jullien, the jury have awarded to you the first prize." The first prize! Those words mean to her an assured career, a brilliant future, the doors of the Comédie Française flung wide open to receive her.
Then, if the votes shall have been sufficient to elect the pope that is, two-thirds of those voting there is nothing more to be done save to number the votes, to verify them, and then burn the schedules. But if this is not the case, as it rarely if ever is, the cardinals proceed to the accessit.
His various and exotic knowledge, complete although unready sympathies, and fine, full, discriminative flow of language, fit him out to be the best of talkers; so perhaps he is with some, not quite with me proxime accessit, I should say.
Nec quidem equum suum illorum timore incitauit, celerius aliquando ponere vestigia. Sed congregando omnia agmina sua, et de morte eripiendo ea, collocauit circa se: et sic primes attigit, et ordinatim proficiscens ad exercitus suos accessit.
C. Quod in utramque partem in mentem multa veniebant, inasmuch as many considerations both for and against it came into my mind, magnum pondus accessit ad tollendam dubitationem, it came with great force to remove my hesitation. T. What do you mean by “accessit”? C. It means it contributed to turn the scale; accessit, it was an addition to one side.
He even plays upon the word, using it in senses which it will hardly bear. Libycae mortes are serpents; Accessit morti Libye, "Libya added to the mortality of the army;" nulla cruentae tantum mortis habet; "no other reptile causes a death so bloody." To one so unhealthily familiar with the idea, the reality, when it came, seems to have brought unusual terrors.
C. I think “id quod.” T. At least it is far more distinct; yes, I think it is more common. What could you put instead of it? C. Quod quidem. T. Now, dubitanti mihi; what is “mihi” governed by? C. Accessit. T. No; hardly. C. is silent. T. Does “accessit” govern the dative? C. I thought it did.
Cardinal Passionei, the scrutator who had to declare the votes, and a member of the opposite faction, became, we are told, as pale as death when he announced with trembling voice the thirty-third vote. There was every reason to think that at the accessit he would have the one other vote needful to make the election. But it was not so.
Lord De Vayne caught him as he staggered, and added eagerly, "But you are most honourably mentioned, Julian, `proxime accessit, and an allusion to your illness during one paper." "Nothing, nothing," muttered Julian; "please leave me by myself." They were unwilling to leave him, and both lingered, but he entreated them to go, and respecting his desire for solitude they left him alone.
