While Lyndhurst and the duke were vainly endeavouring to patch up a government without Peel or his personal adherents, Goulburn and Croker, the house of commons and the country gave decisive proofs of their resolution. A vote of confidence in Grey's ministry, proposed by Ebrington, was carried on May 10 by a majority of eighty.
They would stick in that dreadful mire by hundreds and thousands; they would perish there of hunger, and that march would cost me more men than a great, decisive battle. I had given you my word that I would join the coalition, Count Haugwitz; I had even authorized you to negotiate with the ambassadors of Russia and Great Britain, but on the road to Wesel I was obliged to change my mind.
He saw that she could bear no more. He pressed no more for a decisive answer; he did not return to the subject; but from that time he treated her as what belonged to him, as if it was his business to think, act, and judge for her, and to watch over her; and her acquiescence was absolute.

Central Europe including Slovenia with its history of industrial capitalism, modern bureaucratic governance and the rule of law is reverting to its historical default.
But a few moments longer, and shipwreck would be inevitable. They must either overcome this calamity or perish; some decisive action must be taken. But what? What a combatant was this carronade! Here was this mad creature to be arrested, this flash of lightning to be seized, this thunderbolt to be crushed. Boisberthelot said to Vieuville: "Do you believe in God, chevalier?"
"What do you ask for meals and lodging until this time to-morrow?" he interrupted. The decisive moment had arrived. Uncle Billy drew a deep breath. "Two dollars a head!" he defiantly announced. There! It was out! He wished Margaret had stayed to hear him say it. The guest did not seem to be seriously shocked, and Uncle Billy was beginning to be sorry he had not said three dollars, when Mr.
