Cicero challenged his opponents on the trial of Verres to find a single instance in which an equestrian court could be found to have given a corrupt verdict during the forty years for which their privilege survived.

Ogleton had already nailed the cab, a vehicle of all others the best adapted for a snug flirtation. "Or drive Miss Julia in the phaeton?"
