Bursting with indignation, he was threatening the mayor for his lax policing, when a second assassin, a nineteen year old boy, stepped up with a pistol and shot to death the archduke and his wife.

All history shows that truth is met at first by opposition. Half the country clergy round here are asleep. Good men, but lax. They want waking up.
Do you think that Chatty's life destroyed, as well as his own, is so little? and no laws human or divine could bind him to I don't think I am lax," Mrs. Warrender cried, with the poignant consciousness of a woman who has always known herself to be even superstitiously bound to every cause of modesty, and who finds herself suddenly assailed as a champion of the immoral.
