Washington offered the vacant post to Patrick Henry, who was prevented by private considerations from undertaking its duties.
Indiana seemed quite another creature when, armed with a paddle of her own carving, she knelt at the head of the canoe and sent it flying over the water; then her dark eyes, often so vacant and glassy, sparkled with delight, and her teeth gleamed with ivory whiteness as her face broke into smiles and dimples.

It's stopping in front of the next house." "There is no next house; there's only a vacant lot." "Well, then, it has stopped in front of a vacant lot. What more can I tell you?" "I don't see anyone getting out of it." "The driver is perhaps waiting for a fare." "What, in front of a vacant lot!" "Probably, my dear. This lock has got rusty."
Together they faced the king, when he continued to allow so many English bishoprics to remain vacant, and together they went into exile to Pontigny, and later to Soissy, where St Edmund died.
