It must not be supposed that she violently broke through all restraints on this occasion; but her mother saw that if old rules were enforced, the child would be confused by the conflicting entreaties of her hostesses and the denials of her mother, while the Sultana might be offended. Mrs Langley, therefore, gave her carte-blanche to eat what she pleased.
Had Julius given Michelangelo "carte-blanche" orders on the treasury, and not meddled with the plans, this surpassing piece of architecture might have found form. But the fiery Julius, aged seventy-four, was influenced by the architect Bramante to demand from Michelangelo a bill of expense and definite explanation as to details.
"Do you hear, sir? your servants declare that I shall leave your house to-morrow." "You leave my house, Jack, after four years' absence! no, no. I'll reason with them I'll make them a speech. You don't know how I can speak, Jack." "Look you, father, I cannot stand this; either give me a carte-blanche to arrange this household as I please, or I shall quit it myself to-morrow morning."
I constitute you my agent in this matter, Gurwood. You know all the circumstances of the case, and also about my bet of five hundred pounds with the late Captain Tipps. Your fee, if you succeed, shall be my unending gratitude. There, I give you carte-blanche to do as you please only see that you don't fail."
"Will you give me carte-blanche to do as I please?" asked the small plotter. "Sure!" said the Honorable David heartily, adding: "You can always outfigure me, two to one, when it comes to the real thing.

"I've seen a doubt on your face once or twice and, by George! you haven't seen half the place yet. Yes, Mr. Howard, I'll admit that it is rather luxurious; that's the result of giving these new men carte-blanche. They take you at your word, sir.
He is a good Catholic and very firm in his purpose, but is so much opposed by his own party, that if I had not so stimulated him by hopes of his own grandeur, he would have grown desperate such small means has he of maintaining his party and, it is to be feared, he would have made arrangements with Bearne, who offers him carte-blanche."
But Westray's excitement was cold-waterproof, and he read the letter aloud with much jubilation. "Well," said the organist, "I don't see much in it; seven thousand pounds is nothing to him. When we have done all that we ought to do, we are unprofitable servants." "It isn't only seven thousand pounds; don't you see he gives carte-blanche for repairs in general?
I caught it now for disturbing him. You must let it rest until you can see Mr. Lionel." The bailiff went off, growling. He would have liked to receive carte-blanche for dealing with the mob as he was pleased to term them between whom and himself there was no love lost.
