And in the present case the Bishop, being second man in the Fifteen, had unusual opportunities of righting himself in the eyes of the multitude. In the winter term cricket is forgotten. Football is the only game that counts. And to round off the whole thing, when he entered his study he found a letter on the table. It was from Farnie, and revealed two curious and interesting facts.
If an action in a Court of Justice were, as Miles and Julius told her, impossible, and she would not believe it, except on the word of a lawyer, public exposure was the only alternative for righting Archie, and she could not, or would not, understand that they would have undergone an action for libel rather than not do their best to clear their cousin, but that they thought it due to Mr.
"Yes that's it," said he. "Just a plain vulgar bit of second-story business, and I got it. There were a lot of other good things lying around," he added, with a gulp, "but well, I was righting a wrong this time, so I let 'em alone, and, barring this, I didn't deprive old Bruce of a blooming thing, not even a wink of sleep."

Laws against which Newman declaimed are not altered yet, and we are a long way from those far-reaching reforms he advocated. But the words he wrote are not dead.

"You seem to think only of the present, only of the code and the world; and as if there were no heroism in a man living down his shame, righting himself heroically at all points possible, bearing his penalty, and showing the courage of daily wearing the sackcloth of remorse and restitution." "Oh," she persisted, "you make me angry.
And those who knew that side of him which was splendid in its untiring effort for the betterment of mankind for the righting of wrongs to women, and others unable to achieve it for themselves cannot but hope that the faith of earlier days was his once more, before he passed into the silence that lies as far as we are concerned in this world at the back of Death.

This seemed to him and to Bowers a deliberate attempt by Sprague to stamp him as unfeeling, to coin party capital, and with the notion of righting himself in the public eye Shelby determined upon a personal call at the house.
The big biplane was in serious difficulties, for it gave a lurch, turned turtle, and then, suddenly righting, shot downward for the river. "They're going to get a ducking, all right!" cried Innis. "Yes, and they may be killed, or drowned," added Paul.
