It all depends on the woman you're doing business with. If she's had the business training of a man, she's as easy to deal with as a man.

If so, which of the two candidates is typified in the unfortunate who leads the horse? for we believe the only hope of the party is to get one of them elected by some hocus-pocus in the House of Representatives.
He was 'prejudiced' against Home, whom he met at Nice, 'in the house of a Russian lady of distinction.

But there can be no doubt that the general upshot of the affair was that Browning put his foot down, and the experiments ceased.

The venerable creations of days gone by still have nominal value; that is, they are still gaped at and praised, but creative, reproductive, and moulding power they no longer have. Otherwise hocus-pocus alone prospers, and he who does forgive it is not forgiven. But life is short; I feel it every day; and if you do not attend to the plant, it soon withers and dies.”
In other words, the intermediaries which in their concrete particularity form a bridge, evaporate ideally into an empty interval to cross, and then, the relation of the end-terms having become saltatory, the whole hocus-pocus of Erkenntnistheorie begins, and goes on unrestrained by further concrete considerations.

When freed, the poor cat would rush away among the spectators. Dufour gave his best performances in the evening, as he could then show his hocus-pocus to best advantage.
