It has never been my good fortune to meet just such a lady before." "Make the most of your rare 'good fortune." "I have." "And now that she is tired of you, you come back to me as a dernier ressort." "Coming back to you, is like coming back home, for you have given me the only home-like feeling that I have had during my visit."
Two or three months at Berlin are, considering all circumstances, necessary for you; and the Carnival months are the best; 'pour le reste decidez en dernier ressort, et sans appel comme d'abus'. Let me know your decree, when you have formed it.
There is, so far as I know, no prostitution outside the Yoshiwara, and the inmates thereof are subject to a rigorous supervision and inspection, medical and otherwise, which has produced excellent results.

However, when he settled finally with Creech about his poems, he found himself with between £500 and £600; and he retained his excise commission as a dernier ressort, to be used only if a reverse of fortune rendered it necessary.

The sea was like molten sapphire as we glided swiftly along the southern coast of Cuba, watching the gracefully undulating shore.
It was a dernier ressort, and only adopted because all other efforts had failed; after years of yearning, deep craving of the heart. I might have perished. It was a rash thought, but I, at that time, entertained it fully." "I hope we shall succeed now." "I have high hopes. It seems as if some overruling providence were now acting in my favour.
To know where you can get money, to feel that there is some dernier ressort however hateful to you, is one thing; but to know that you have not a cent not a prospect of getting one not a hope of earning one no means of living this is suffocation. This is the stopping of that breath that keeps the world alive.
This will naturally put you upon inquiring into the constitution of the 'Grand Conseil'. You will, doubtless, inform yourself who it is composed of, what things are 'de son ressort', whether or not there lies an appeal from thence to any other place; and of all other particulars, that may give you a clear notion of this assembly.
