XXVII. Consider in my mind, for example's sake, the times of Vespasian: thou shalt see but the same things: some marrying, some bringing up children, some sick, some dying, some fighting, some feasting, some merchandising, some tilling, some flattering, some boasting, some suspecting, some undermining, some wishing to die, some fretting and murmuring at their present estate, some wooing, some hoarding, some seeking after magistracies, and some after kingdoms.
Think of this going on all over the country. Think of the sacrifices it involves. In view of them, it really seems as if those who can afford to hire their sewing done should give up elaborate trimmings just for example's sake. To be sure, this is not striking at the foundation. To be sure, this is not the true way of bringing about a reform.
"I know it would be lonely here, and a man like you ought to have a wife for " he slightly lifted his eyebrows "for example's sake. I heard there was a young lady in the case over there in Tasajara but the old people didn't see it on account of your position. They'd jump at it now. Eh? No?

And now, merely for example's sake, I will, with your permission, read a few lines of a true book with you, carefully; and see what will come out of them.
The best representative people go to church if only for example's sake. Even if one were not extremely religious she could be an authority on religions, reading up the history of other churches as well as one's own church discipline.
