The governorship or a seat in the United States Senate would amply repay her for the heartaches so often communicated by the clipping bureau.
When he came into court again and read the judgment he had prepared, he said that he was unable to treat the case leniently. There were many such cases, he said.

It was a serious matter, and he felt himself obliged to make an example of such as were convicted, to be a warning to others.
Thou hast shattered my idol of clay to pieces, and my heart lies broken and trampled in the dust. Ralph, tell the wretched boy to come to me directly." 'The old man hesitated. "Not while you are in this excited state, my dear master. Wait a while, until your passion calms down; it is apt to betray you into sin. I implore you to deal leniently with the lad. Remember it is his first offence.

Porter sighed in great relief. "That's all right, Miss Rhoda," he said leniently. "Respect him all you want to. I don't see how you can, but women is queer, if you don't mind my saying so.

Uncle Matthew urged him to seek his fortune in foreign parts, but Uncle William said, "Bedam to foreign parts when you can live in Ballyards!"

He must get all this into the play and yet preserve his "third act situation," leniently admitted to be "quite a fair" one.
