With a swift sweep he sent both mask and glove hurtling under the bed, and so violently that he heard the mask rebound from the wall. Shortly after the Draconian reforms, a war broke out between Athens and Megara The mask had rolled back from the wall. He wondered if it had rolled back far enough for him to see it. No, he would n't look. What did it matter if it had rolled out?
This, to be sure, has developed old-fashioned rounders to modern baseball, and this is well, but it is seen in the elaborate Draconian laws, diplomacy, judicial and legislative procedures, concerning "eligibility, transfer, and even sale of players." In some games international conformity is gravely discussed.
Refraining from all Draconian legislation, they have put their faith in a system of ingenious checks and a complicated formal procedure. When we examine the complicated formalities and labyrinthine procedure by which the administration is controlled, our first impression is that administrative abuses must be almost impossible.
Nolla was straightening a few chairs when he entered. When she turned and saw him, she gasped and put her hand to her chest. "I..." she stammered, "I wasn't expecting... to see... you... there." Justin apologized and muttered something about stopping by. They had met a few times during the last round of school board meetings when the latest draconian cuts had been proposed.
A pretty way of studying history! He buried his head in his book and began: Shortly after the Draconian reforms He read the sentence through three times, and then recollected that he had not looked up the Draconian reforms. A knock came at the door. He turned the pages over with a noisy flutter, but made no answer. The knock was repeated, and Bessie's "Joe, dear" came to his ears.
So Draconian were the laws of humane and Christian England, at this date, that had they been strictly carried out, at least four executions daily, exclusive of Sundays, would have taken place in this realm.
If there are exceptions who do not subscribe to these Draconian laws of the Parisian code, they are solitary examples.
In his eyes a crime was a crime and when he had finished his code, the people of Athens discovered that these Draconian laws were so severe that they could not possibly be put into effect. There would not have been rope enough to hang all the criminals under their new system of jurisprudence which made the stealing of an apple a capital offence.
But when, under the shadow of the Drachenfels, we attempted to reimburse the Teutonic waiter for a cup of cafe noir, we were ignominiously constrained to hold forth a handful of coin and to await the white-jacketed and bearded one's pleasure, as he helped himself. Why was it made a crime worthy of Draconian sternness to address our she-comrades in the pleasant paths of learning?
Couthon was sent to carry out this draconian edict, but proved too mild. At the end of October Collot d'Herbois, Fouché and 3,000 Parisian sans-culottes were sent down, and for awhile all went well. Houses were demolished, and executions were got in hand with so much energy that cannon and grape shot had to be used to keep pace with the rapidity of the sentences.
