This they did in such a way as not to attract the attention of the O.C. or any chance tac. Dick was there, and with him were Holmes and Anstey, to both of whom had been conveyed a hint as strong as that which had reached the class president.
In the pan, instead of oil or butter, he poured a little water. As soon as the water started to boil tac! he broke the eggshell. But in place of the white and the yolk of the egg, a little yellow Chick, fluffy and gay and smiling, escaped from it. Bowing politely to Pinocchio, he said to him: "Many, many thanks, indeed, Mr. Pinocchio, for having saved me the trouble of breaking my shell!
The puppet returned to the town and began to count the minutes one by one, and when he thought that it must be time he took the road leading to the Field of Miracles. And as he walked along with hurried steps his heart beat fast tic, tac, tic, tac like a drawing-room clock when it is really going well.

As men fixed in the grip of nightmare, we were powerless unable to do anything but wait.
The first wars of the empire had been signalised by conquests as valuable as any gained by the republic in a corresponding period. It is a great fallacy, though apparently sanctioned by great authorities, to suppose that the foreign policy pursued by Augustus was pacific. Tac.
But Josephus might have collected from the Jewish communities those documents which he did not find ready to hand in Nicholas, if they formed part of an apology for the Jews of Antioch in 70 C.E. At least there is no good reason to doubt their authenticity, and they are in quite a different class from the letters and decrees attributed to the Hellenistic sovereigns, which lack all authority. Tac.

Boetticher's Lex Tac., and note, 16: ignorantur.
