And how can it be supposed that God administers by his own providence human concerns, when to vain and trifling persons prosperous things happen, to great and high adverse? Agamemnon was both and by an adulterer and adulteress was vanquished and perfidiously slain.
He administers unpleasant medicine, flavoured with human kindness." "And will you be taking the Bishop's black draught?" asked Molly Healy. "I have not decided whether I shall swallow it or throw it away," he answered evasively. But Molly Healy realised that Desmond O'Connor had decided.
Is it not the carrying out of the law, the infliction of penalty assigned to offence? By a just judge we mean a man who administers the law without prejudice, without favour or dislike; and where guilt is manifest, punishes as much as, and no more than, the law has in the case laid down. It may not be that justice has therefore been done.
What more striking demonstration of that superintending providence, which administers justice, not only to individuals, but to nations, than the spectacle in this mighty city, builded on the heritage of which Spain would have deprived this people of this gathering of Americans to mark the epoch when the last Spanish soldier has been driven from the last foot of soil of that hemisphere discovered by Columbus.

Or a "pay back sperrit" as Licorice Stick might have called him. ...
Among certain savage tribes, if a man is in love with a girl and wishes to marry her, he drags her around his tent by the hair or administers a severe beating. It may be surmised that these attentions are not altogether pleasant, but she has the advantage of knowing what the man means. Flowers are a pretty courtesy and nothing more.
Poole's eyes, administers to the wounded orb so soothing a lotion of pity and admiration that Poole growls out quite mildly: "Nonsense, blarney by the by, I did not say this morning that you should not have the rosewood chiffoniere!" "No, you said you could not afford it, duck; and when Pa says he can't afford it, Pa must be the judge must not he, Johnny dear?" "But perhaps I can afford it.
