When war has been declared, the deputy of Power performs everything, but Power, like the Roman dictator, plans and wills everything, so that hurtful tardiness may be avoided. And when anything of great moment arises he consults Hoh and Wisdom and Love. Before this, however, the occasion of war and the justice of making an expedition is declared by a herald in the great council.
May-Day is never allowed to pass in this community without profuse lamentations over the tardiness of our spring as compared with that of England and the poets. Yet it is very common to exaggerate this difference.
Glasier addressed a letter to John Fenton of Boston informing the members of the Society in that quarter of the success of his subsequent proceedings. He apologizes for the tardiness of his communication by saying, "I have put off writing, as the world puts off Repentence till the last moment." Glasier is very enthusiastic as to the outlook.

I promised that as I was passing by the school I would step in and tell Madame Dumont, the head mistress, the reason of her tardiness.
