"Remember, Nettie, that when there's poison in the system, it is best to let it out as quickly as possible." What on earth was Mother talking about? But Missy was too thrilled by the leniency of her mother's attitude to linger on any side-question anyway, grown-ups were always making incomprehensible remarks. She came back swiftly to the important issue.
"A week ago he was in England." "Have you not heard that he is an impostor?" "I only know, sir, that he is a very unfortunate man, and that you, who have so interested yourself against him, have only to show him leniency and kindness and you would be surprised at his gratitude. I carry the appeal of the Chevalier to you, desirous of seeing whether the trouble cannot be amicably arranged."
Although the Thirteenth Amendment had made slavery unconstitutional, the South was trying to recreate the peculiar institution in law while not admitting it in name. Radical Republicans in Congress were outraged both at the unrepentant obstinacy of the South and at the leniency of Johnson's plan for restoration.
Firstly, I would ask that your stupid secret police keeps its fingers out; secondly, that leniency be assured to one person, a client of mine the woman who supplies the money who is under the influence well, that influence which makes women do nobler and more foolish things, monsieur, than men are capable of." He rose as he spoke, collected his hat and stick, and walked slowly to the door.
These things should be left for the privacy of the boudoir or smoking den where they will afford much innocent amusement. The fact that the teeth are of the latest mode does not in any way condone the breach. Leniency in such matters is not recommended.
For less, girls had had his father's dagger driven through their hearts his grandfather, at a mere whisper from a eunuch, had given his favorite to the lion. The whisper was found incorrect at a later too late date, and the eunuch had furnished the lion another meal. His modern leniency in this case would have outraged his ancestors.
Slight concessions would have led to peace; but neither Louis Napoleon nor Palmerston would allow concessions, since both were resolved on war. Never was a war more popular in England than that which Louis Napoleon and Palmerston resolved to have. This explains the leniency of public opinion in England toward a man who had stolen a sceptre. He was united with Great Britain in a popular war.
In a book of this kind, the setting forth of a personal view of religion is not only unavoidable, but necessary; since, if I wrote sincerely, Mr. Hodder's solution must coincide with my own so far as I have been able to work one out. Such as it is, it represents many years of experience and reflection. And I can only crave the leniency of any trained theologian who may happen to peruse it.
There is a perfect honesty about this which is very wholesome. He had been freely charged with cruelty, and had regarded the accusation with indifference. Now, when it was easy for him to have taken the glory of mercy by simply keeping silent, he took pains to avow that the leniency was not due to him.
If, as an officer, he had a fault conspicuously characteristic, it was a reluctance to severity, a tendency to push indulgence to undue extremes, into which may perhaps have entered not merely leniency of disposition, but the weakness of loving popularity.
