But to the beneficiaries, as was no less than necessary for the safety of the prince, a matter of 8,000 by the example of Augustus were added, which departed not from his sides, but were his perpetual guard, called Pretorian bands; though these, according to the incurable flaw already observed in this kind of government, became the most frequent butchers of their lords that are to be found in story.
Older and older grew the documents as the lawyer's hand travelled downward; any flaw or failure must have been healed by lapse of time long and long ago; dust and grime and mildew thickened, ink became paler, and contractions more contorted; it was rather an antiquary's business now than a lawyer's to decipher them. "What a fool I am!" the solicitor thought.
"My dear, I'm not a jeweller: but it is very large and pear-shaped, and I see no flaw: I don't think you could buy it for less than three hundred pounds." "Three hundred pounds! It is worth three hundred pounds." "Or sell it for more than a hundred and fifty pounds." "A hundred and fifty! It is worth a hundred and fifty pounds."
The Governor of the Conciergerie meanwhile was examining the outer gate, and saying to his clerk: "No expense was spared; the bars are of wrought iron, they were properly tested, and cost a large sum; and yet there was a flaw in that bar." Monsieur de Granville on returning to his room had other instructions to give to his private secretary. Massol, happily had not yet arrived.
"Any metal interferes with the sympathetic current." At any other time Loder would have laughed; but the request so casually and graciously made sent all possibility of irony far into the background. The thought of Chilcote and of the one flaw in their otherwise flawless scheme rose to his mind. Instinctively he half withdrew his hands. "Where is the sympathetic current?" he asked, quietly.
They simply report the events of the day." "Exactly. They simply disseminate it." Banneker was annoyed at himself for flushing. "They disseminate news. We've got to have news, to carry on the world. Only a small fraction of it is well, malodorous. Would you destroy the whole system because of one flaw? You're not fair." "Fair? Of course I'm not. How should I be? No; I would not destroy the system.
That flaw lay in the fact that Admiralty never gave as good as it took. Clearly, it could not. True, it supplied substitutes to go in "pressed men's rooms," but to call them "men in lieu" was a gross abuse of language.
'Thank God! thank God! cried Mrs Pendle, with joyful tears. 'Gabriel, my darling boy! and she stretched out her disengaged hand to caress her son. Gabriel kissed it with unconcealed emotion. In the meantime, Dr Graham was examining the bishop's marriage certificate with sharp attention, as he thought he espied a flaw.
I had only one lamp burning in the room, a table-lamp; and at this moment, preceded by a sudden accession of light due to some flaw of the generating plant, the filament expired, plunging the room into darkness! I stood up with a startled cry. I do not deny that I felt ill at ease in the gloom with my strange visitor; but worse was to come.
Even heroes have their vulnerable parts, Achilles died from a wound in the heel. The most artfully constructed armour has a flaw somewhere. Noel was assailable by means of Juliette, and through her was at the mercy of everything and every one.
