The poultry-yard had been laid under requisition, and cockyleeky and Scotch collops soon reeked in the Bailie's little parlour. Enter Jock Scriever with a packet for Mr. Stanley: it is Colonel Talbot's seal; and Edward's fingers tremble as he undoes it. Two official papers, folded, signed, and sealed in all formality, drop out.
"A man spends a year working over a play it was more than a year on this, wasn't it, Denny?" she broke off to ask the author. Laurence nodded. He looked tired and a little bored, Banneker thought. "And a critic has a happy thought and five minutes to think it over, and writes something mean and cruel and facetious, and perhaps undoes a whole year's work. Is that right?"
Did I ever aim a blow at a defenceless fellow-creature's head? That head eternally being measured for a wig, or that worse head which was bald before it used the balsam, and hirsute afterwards enforcing the benevolent moral, 'Better to be bald as a Dutch cheese than come to this, undoes me.

Not only will the occurrence of one exception make more likely its recurrence, but if the exception does not recur, at least the response is less sure and less accurate than it otherwise would be. It tends to destroy self-confidence or confidence in the one who allowed the exception. Sometimes even one exception leads to disastrous consequences and undoes the work of weeks and months.
It sees, so far as itself is concerned, that it has deserved hell, and that its punishment is bliss. It undoes itself in the praises of God, and I would gladly undo myself now. Blessed be Thou, O my Lord, who, out of a pool so filthy as I am, bringest forth water so clean as to be meet for Thy table! Praised be Thou, O Joy of the Angels, who hast been thus pleased to exalt so vile a worm!
EURIPIDES. You're getting troublesome. Come pack be off. Faugh! EURIPIDES. Be off, I say! DIKAIOPOLIS. Not till thou grant'st my prayer. Only a little cup with broken rim. EURIPIDES. Take it and go; for know you're quite a plague. EURIPIDES. The man would rob me of a tragedy complete. There take it, and begone. DIKAIOPOLIS. Well! I am going. Yet what to do? One thing I lack, whose want Undoes me.
