Unfortunately, that bane of genius, dissipation, was poisoning his habits and undermining his reputation. It seems that exalted genius feeds upon excitement, and in some shape must have it. The excitement of active business at the Bar or in the halls of legislation must of necessity be temporary, and the relaxation which follows this is terrible to the excitable temperament of ardent genius.
Sweethearting and good-fellowship were his bane, yet he won much good from his practice of the art of correspondence with sweethearts and boon companions. And although Socrates was perhaps scarcely a name to him, he studied always to follow the Athenian's favourite maxim, Know thyself; realizing, with his elder brother of Warwickshire, that "the chiefest study of mankind is man."
If I have a friend in to dinner could you serve two of us?" "Sure! I bane smart enough to serve eight if you have knives and forks to go round." Josie made a stiff bow and backed awkwardly down the steps. When the door was closed she turned quickly and literally ran back to the Elberta Inn. She got safely to her room without being seen by any of the aristocratic boarders.
"Lessener of waves flashing flame, To my lucky hand this came In the barrow where that thing Through the dark fell clattering; If that helm-fire I should gain, Made so fair to be the bane Of the breakers of the bow, Ne'er from my hand should it go."

"My curses light upon the Harkaways one and all," was the speech ever upon his tongue; "they have been my bane my curse through life." He resolved to get away from this place. Yes; he would fly. But how? Here was he well-nigh starving in the midst of plenty, possessed of a sum of money which was a small fortune in that land, and yet he dare not change or part with it.
Even the strong minister, although his is not the old-fashioned way, seems to have more beef on his bones than brains in his head, or he would not answer to a desperate exclamation of Mary Smith, "Don't say that. God only knows what is best for us all; even you, and all like you, may begin to live for the good of society, without being its bane."
This policy in the Government would encourage extravagance, waste, and corruption such a bane to republics because it would create an immense surplus in the national treasury, unless some scheme for its expenditure could be devised which should seem to promote the national interest.
She was a pretty girl despite the layers of grease paint necessary to accentuate the lights and shadows of her piquant face. Her manner with men was free without being bold. With a big parasol over her shoulder, she adapted her step to Lawford's and they strolled nearer. Bane was speaking of the script he had previously mentioned as containing a part eminently fitted for Louise.
"True; and were it but mine own Scottish royalty that were in question I should see naught amiss, but with this English right that hath been the bane of us all, what can their love bring the poor children save woe?" Meantime Humfrey was conducting his prisoner to Sir Amias Paulett.
