'Yes! she answered quietly. 'A great deal of money to waste! They were both silent for a while. Then she said: 'What does your father say to it? 'He was in an awful wax. One of these beastly duns had written to him about another account and he was in a regular fury.
Two Englishmen of the next generation mark in different ways the reaction against the moderate Aristotelianism and orthodox rationalism which their countryman Hales first brought into vogue. These were the Franciscan friars, Roger Bacon and Duns Scotus. Bacon, though he studied at Paris as well as at Oxford, is much more closely identified with England than with the Continent.
He had laughingly shown this refuge to his chum, Altamont; and they had agreed that it would be as well not to mention the circumstance to Captain Costigan, whose duns were numerous, and who would be constantly flying down the pipe into their apartments if this way of escape were shown to him.
Meanwhile the antechamber was as full of duns as the approach to Donna Laura's apartment at Pianura; and Odo guessed that the warmth of the maternal welcome sprang less from natural affection than from the hope of using his expectations as a sop to her creditors.
The carriages rolling by insulted him with their display of wealth. He had democratic sentiments regarding them. Oh for a horse upon the boundless plains! he sighed to his heart. He remembered bitterly how he had that day ridden his stool at the bank, dreaming of his wilds, where bailiff never ran, nor duns obscured the firmament.

All at once Mme. d'Abrantès exclaims, with an explosion of delight, "Ah! what a charming time is the night! one is so deliciously off for talking! so safe! so secure! safe from bores and from duns!"

"What news from London, my boy?" he rather faintly asked; "are the duns at you that you look so glum?" "Do you know any thing about this letter, sir?" Arthur asked.
Pedro de Aragon was Duns Scotus Professor of Theology at Salamanca, a former pupil of Luis de Leon's and a great admirer of his. Luis de Leon was mistaken in supposing that Bañez had deposed against him at Valladolid. D. Carlos Álvarez Guijarro. Luis de León: estudio biográfico, pp. 239-240. The pressmark of this autograph letter in the British Museum is Add.
If you should ask me what Christianity has most promoted in the world, I should answer without hesitation, discretion. Of course, when I say the world I mean society, and when I say Christianity I mean our interpretation of it. If only duns could be pastors, and pastors duns!
The treatises of your great lawyers, the works of Blackstone and Chitty, of Story and Parsons, stand in our museums, side by side with the tomes of Duns Scotus and his fellow scholastics, as curious monuments of intellectual subtlety devoted to subjects equally remote from the interests of modern men. Our judges are simply widely informed, judicious, and discreet men of ripe years.
