This restriction would be absolutely necessary if the preliminary canter plan is not to degenerate into a species of legalised free love, as there are many men, and some women, who would ‘always go on cantering,’ as Amoret expressed it once and the upshot would be nothing less than leasehold marriage for the short term of three years.
There comes before the eye a picture of the five grave men Holbein, his two executors, the one a goldsmith, the other an armourer, and his two witnesses, a "merchaunte" and a "paynter" hurrying along the plague-infected streets to get this document legalised as some protection for two motherless babies, in the event of their father's death. No man knew whose turn would come within the hour.
Or being too drunk to undress himself, or No I can't bring in the children." "No," said Soames; "no! I wonder! Of course, there's legal separation we can get that. But separation! Um!" "What does it mean?" asked Winifred desolately. "That he can't touch you, or you him; you're both of you married and unmarried." And again he grunted.

"I trust so," said Arthur: "and, though I don't want to see 'brawling in church' legalised, I must say that our preachers enjoy an enormous privilege which they ill deserve, and which they misuse terribly.
Blackstone, whilst admitting that no statute expressly legalised pressing, reminded the nation with a leer, we might almost say that many statutes strongly implied, and hence so he put it amply justified it.
In the beginning of the tenth century, Pope Leo III. constructed a dining-room after this fashion. We may fairly conclude that nothing grand or extraordinary in architecture was attempted in a period of great trouble and poverty.

In verse 26 we are vividly reminded of Herbert Spencer's words "'Le mariage de convenance' is legalised prostitution."
