She, like Geminius, had a personal grudge against him, for in his sixth consulship he had fined her four drachmas for ill-conduct. But now when she saw his misery she forgot her resentment, and did her best to cheer him. Nor was this difficult, for the stout heart of Marius had never failed him.
The sessions coming on soon after, and the case being plain, he was cast and ordered for transportation, having time enough, however, before he was shipped, to consider the melancholy circumstances into which his ill-conduct had reduced him, and to think of what was fitting for him to do in the present sad state he was in.
Probably, however, not a few will contend that already most parents do this that the punishments they inflict are, in the majority of cases, the true consequences of ill-conduct that parental anger, venting itself in harsh words and deeds, is the result of a child's transgression and that, in the suffering, physical or moral, which the child is subject to, it experiences the natural reaction of its misbehaviour.

The Sultan of Roum, perceiving that the day was lost by the ill-conduct of his colleagues, withdrew his troops, retreated in haste, but in good order to Bagdad, carried off the caliph, his harem, and some of his treasure, and effected his escape into Syria.
