They have their bals parés and their salons de danse in every street; and as long as the weather will permit, they dance on platforms out of doors, and a heavy shower of rain will scarcely cool their ardour in the recreation. Some of their stage figurantes resemble aerial beings rather than bone and blood, for flesh may almost be left out of the composition.

The bravest and richest generals and court officials surrounded themselves with bands of warrior slaves, and reached a power almost equal to the reigning sultan, who was, in fact, only primus inter pares, and on his death usually by assassination they fought for his title. All were alike slaves by origin, but this term implied no degradation.

On the contrary, he was the simple gentleman among other gentlemen primus inter pares the hospitable host, chiefly intent upon performing the pleasing duties of that office. He had also showed such an amiable interest in the adventures of his guests that they had frankly told him all that was of any interest.

"We come now to the challenge: and of old the suitors in court, who were judge, could not he challenged; nor by the feudal law could the pares be even challenged. "Ad questionem juris non respondent Juratores." And this is the province of the judge on the bench, namely, to show, or teach the law, but not to take upon him the trial of the delinquent, either in matter of fact or in matter of law."

The significance of the change lies in this. The Messianic idea now means to many Jews a belief in human development and progress, with the Jews filling the role of the Messianic people, but only as primus inter pares.

"Poor man," said Mrs. Larrabbee, accepting the new ground as safer, yet with a baffled feeling that Hodder had evaded her once more, "he has had his share of individualism and carnivalism.

In times past the Church of England has struggled to regain the position she formerly held in the older colonies; but now whatever efforts she makes in that direction are confined to the ambition of being prima inter pares a position which is vigorously and even bitterly attacked by the other Protestant sects whenever she either tries to assert it or has it thrust upon her.

For, first, the greater number is generally composed of men of sluggish tempers, slow to act, and unwilling to attempt, and, by being in possession, are so disposed to peace that they are unwilling to take early and vigorous measures for their defence, and they are almost always caught unprepared: Nec coïere pares: alter vergentibus annis In senium, longoque togæ tranquillior usu.

"Black soul!" he cried out angrily. "That is my welt-knife, like a razor, and he pares his hoofs with it!" But Stefanone dropped it into the little box of tools on the front of the bench, and whistled softly. "You seem to me a silly boy!" said the cobbler, still wrathful. "Apoplexy, how you talk!" answered Stefanone. "But I seem so to myself, sometimes."
