It was a fine saying that of the ancient Roman: 'The wife of Cæsar must not be suspected. Suspicion is too often, as the plague-spot, the intimater of a disease, which may either break out, or be suppressed by care or circumstances; but still the intimation has gone forth.
Taking Don Diego by the arm, he shook him roughly: 'Open your eyes wide, my father, and raise your head, and let your heart be merry, for I have cut down the poisonous weed; I have stamped out the plague-spot; the robe of your honour is stainless as of yore. For a moment the old man kept silence, and then he looked up, his face shining. 'Son of my heart, he said, 'it is enough.
Supposing France, Britain, America, and Italy had joined in an immediate warning to Germany and Austria that if they did not desist from their malpractices the area of their countries would be declared a plague-spot, commercial intercourse with the outside world would be brought to an end, and their citizens treated as lepers.
We are civilized. The peace-loving government and people of Eglonsby...." "Yes, Mr. President; I understand. And they have an embassy here?" "They call it that!" cried Dagró. "It is a nest of vipers, a plague-spot of espionage and subversion...!" "We'll grab that ourselves, right away," Harkaman said.

It is the history of his investments alone which might perchance interest the public.
But there was a long-standing account of the wholesale grocer's for five-and-twenty pounds, for which Mrs. Harvey had given a two months' bill. That bill would become due early in September: and how to meet it, neither mother nor daughter knew; it lay like a black plague-spot on the future, only surpassed in horror by the cholera itself.
