"Has Clinton been here to-night?" "Not yet." "When he comes tell him we are here, and send him in, will you?" Quibbles bowed, and retired. "Is that the proprietor of this establishment, Quirk?" asked Arthur, helping himself to a glass of wine. "Ho, ho, bless your heart, no.
F. V. Dickins, is justly remembered not for his forensic but for his literary efforts in the direction of depicting the inner life of the Japanese people. Into these foreign courts all the jargon, the quips and quibbles of English law were imported. These courts were, not unnaturally, an eyesore to the Japanese people.
He was adroit at finding flaws in ancient titles, skilled in all the feudal quibbles of fine and recovery, and ready to employ the secret dagger where hard swearing and fabricated documents might fail to make good his title.
It would seem to me that divorce for the rich and educated should be made as difficult as possible, and the pleas investigated mercilessly, to discover if any advantage has been taken of legal quibbles for ulterior ends; but that the judge should grant decrees instantly when habitual drunkenness, madness, or anything which degrades and lowers a household or community is proved against the defendant.
My mind had all the while been kept in a state of agitation resembling the motion of a whirlpool, and, when we came to separate, I then discovered that the purpose for which I had sought the fields had been neglected, and that I had been diverted from the worship of God by attending to the quibbles and dogmas of this singular and unaccountable being, who seemed to have more knowledge and information than all the persons I had ever known put together.
He writes again to Vossius some time after, that if his son had a dislike to long voyages, he would nevertheless have him study Commerce and Navigation rather than the quibbles of the Law: "Not but a general knowledge of public law, and the laws of his own country, may be of use to him whatever manner of life he chuses: but I would not have him make it his principal study; and remember Horace's precept, to keep his eye ever on the mark.
Struggle of the United Provinces against Philip of Spain Progress of the Republic Influence of Geographical position on the fate of the Netherlands Contrast offered by America Miserable state of the so called "obedient" provinces Prosperity of the Commonwealth Its internal government Tendency to provincialism Quibbles of the English Members of the Council, Wilkes and Bodley Exclusion of Olden-Barneveld from the State Council Proposals of Philip for mediation with the United Provinces The Provinces resolutely decline all proffers of intervention.
But the fact that Saint Paul met Seneca's brother face to face, as well as the fact that the brother was willing to discuss right living, but had no time to waste on the Gemara and theological quibbles, is undisputed. It was the proud boast of Augustus that he found Rome a place of brick and left it a city of marble. Commercial prosperity buys the leisure upon which letters flourish.
"Father had authorized my acquaintance with Hilary." "I hate quibbles," said I. There was a pause. Mrs. Hilary stitched; Hilary observed that the day was fine. "Now," I pursued carelessly, "even Miss Phyllis here has been known to deceive her parents." "Oh, let the poor child alone, anyhow," said Mrs. Hilary. "Haven't you?" said I to Miss Phyllis. I expected an indignant denial. So did Mrs.
Did human memory run to the year 1190, when Richard I. set out on the third crusade, or to 1194, when he returned? That was one of the problems propounded by Lord Wensleydale, who for many years devoted extraordinary powers of mind to quibbles altogether unworthy of him. There is no more painful sight for a man who dislikes the waste of human energy than a court engaged in discussing such a point.
