Some part of the blame must surely attach to the slow-paced D'Erlon and to the Emperor himself, who first underrated the difficulties both at Ligny and Quatre Bras, and then changed his plans when Ney was in the midst of a furious fight. Nevertheless, the general results obtained on June the 16th were enormously in favour of Napoleon.
The figure pauses, looks round, then continues her slow-paced movement; but she does not answer. Still he sees her, she is there. And now he knows that he must come up with her. He toils on. He talks to himself, muttering as he goes; and a train of incoherent thought passes through his brain. He tells himself that the journey is over. She has brought him to the home which shall be theirs.
I will not expatiate upon her beauty; I will not expatiate upon her intelligence, her quickness of perception, her powers of memory, her sweet consideration, from the first moment, for the slow-paced tutor who ministered to her wonderful gifts.
He was proudly aristocratic, lordly, dignified, jealous, mentally wiggling and spiritually jiggling.

"What's come ower Annie?" said the one to the other when she had gone. But there was no answer to be found to the question. Could they have understood her if she had told them what had come over her? And so the time went on, slow-paced, with its silent destinies Annie said her prayers, read her Bible, and tried not to forget God.
For such a preparatory government, no slow-paced, methodical, formal, lawyer-like system, still less that of a showy, superficial, trifling, intriguing court, guided by cabals of ladies, or of men like ladies, least of all a philosophic, theoretic, disputatious school of sophistry, none of these ever will or ever can lay the foundations of an order that can last.
Zoulmekan thanked him and the battle-cries arose and the sabres were drawn, when, behold, there came forth a cavalier from the Grecian ranks; and as he drew near, they saw that he was mounted on a slow-paced mule, fleeing with her master from the shock of swords.
