But Si and Shorty's official integrity was incorruptible. "Shut up and go on," they would reply to every proposition. "We ain't that kind of soldiers. Our duty's to take you to Headquarters, and to Headquarters you are going."
The heart that she in gentle fetters binds, Views duty's slavish escort scornfully; Her path of light, though fairer far it winds, Sinks in the sun-track of morality. Those who in her chaste service still remain, No grovelling thought can tempt, no fate affright; The spiritual life, so free from stain, Freedom's sweet birthright, they receive again, Under the mystic sway of holy might.
The principles, which teach the good man to count his life a little thing and to sacrifice it at duty's call, are far removed from this primitive simplicity. Happy are those nations where one can be good without effort, and just without conscious virtue.
"Duty's duty," he kept saying in his big voice, like a bell tolling. And then Chawner changed his note and grew a bit vicious. "So be it, Borlase," he said. "If you're that sort of fool, I'll go along with you this instant moment to the police-station; but mark this: so sure as a key's turned on me this night, by yonder hunter's moon I swear as you shan't marry Cicely.
I never talked like that, never. It's in contempt of duty, nothing less," said Constable David. "Oh, you're the sort of man that sticks the thing you call duty above everything else above wife, life, and all the rest of it and when duty's done with you it generally sticks you below everything else.

He felt disloyal a very traitor, and perhaps she realised what he was thinking, for she laughed as she wiped her stained finger tips. "Duty's duty," she mocked him, "and now tell me this are you going to keep me under observation all the time?" "For a little while," said Tarling gravely.
"I'm very sorry for you, Miss Dane," the nurse said for the benefit of the eavesdropper without; "but my duty's my duty, and I must do it. I'll fetch you up your supper presently a cup of tea will cure the 'stericks." She opened the door. Mrs. Oleander, at the head of the staircase, was making a great show of having just come up. "They'll be the death of me yet those stairs!" she panted.
But if he only lives twenty-one days, he will find out that only those rare natures that are made up of pluck, endurance, devotion to duty for duty's sake, and invincible determination may hope to venture upon so tremendous an enterprise as the keeping of a journal and not sustain a shameful defeat.
At present epics are read for duty's sake, not for the only valid reason, "for human pleasure," in FitzGerald's phrase. Between 1838 and 1840 Tennyson made some brief tours in England with FitzGerald, and, coming from Coventry, wrote Godiva. His engagement with Miss Sellwood seemed to be adjourned sine die, as they were forbidden to correspond.
No doubt a little way down the lake he will camp till the storm is over, then make a bee line for Fort Malsun we'll get him as easy as eating toast." "And when we've got him?" "Duty's duty!" answered Anderton with a shrug. "I can't enumerate all the charges offhand; but there's enough to kill Mr. Ainley's goose twice over. Lor', what a whirligig life is. I never thought Hallo! Who's this?
