The journey had been planned long before; why defer it, when in Rome were sadness and danger? Cæsar accepted the counsel with eagerness; but Seneca when he had thought awhile, said, "It is easy to go, but it would be more difficult to return." "By Heracles!" replied Petronius, "we may return at the head of Asiatic legions." "This will I do!" exclaimed Nero. But Tigellinus opposed.
I confess I rather like it myself, but Colonel Sherman here says it is not military; and I guess we had better defer to his opinion." In winding up, he explained that, as President, he was commander-in-chief; that he was resolved that the soldiers should have every thing that the law allowed; and he called on one and all to appeal to him personally in case they were wronged.
Not being aware of the powerful means of investigation possessed by the law, he wondered how in so short a time the judge could have obtained such accurate information. "Your statement is correct, monsieur," he said finally. "Where did all this money come from? The evening before you had so little that you were obliged to defer the payment of a small bill."
Egidy has certainly not drawn up a definite programme, and could not draw it up; "since we are all at the present moment, without exception, undergoing a thorough transformation of 'the inner man, it is more reasonable to defer single efforts till the general consciousness has become enlightened on essential points."
The woman was, perhaps, wise to defer the evil moment as long as possible. Matters might soon change for the better, and good or evil could come only from without. So Dido clung to the literal sense of her master's question, and something note-worthy had actually happened in the kitchen.
When Lulu had drained the tumbler it was carried away by Agnes, and Grandma Elsie, sitting down beside the bed, asked, "Are you sleepy, my child? If you are we will defer our talk till to-morrow morning; if not, we will have it now." "I'm not sleepy," Lulu answered, blushing and averting her face, adding to herself, "I suppose it's got to come, and I'd rather have it over."
"And about Diodorus and Strabo, also mentioned in the lectures," added the magnate. "I have forgotten all that I ever knew about these gentlemen." "I am in the same boat, Captain," the doctor responded. "I shall leave those subjects to the professor. But we are approaching some objects of interest, and we will defer the matter to another time," replied the commander.
How strangely you answer me!" cried Della, excitedly. "Never mind me now, Della I am not myself to-night; go to sleep." Truly, thought Della, he is not himself; so she prudently resolved to defer her "something to say" to a more favorable season. For the next eight or nine hours Philip's mind was in a whirlpool.
No more paradoxical situation has ever existed; and its oddity was enhanced by the usually clear-cut logicality of French political thought. Now, after the war and the Commune, the outlook was dim, even to the keenest sight. One thing alone was clear, the duty of all citizens to defer raising any burning question until law, order, and the national finances were re-established.
The great point with him was to defer the attack until the arrival of assistance, and he had strong hopes that he could succeed in doing it. Not Oonomoo's personal fear, but his excessive anxiety for the safety of Fluellina, induced him now to adopt a resort that was fatal in its consequences.
