It was true, of course, that he had been ordered into headquarters, but that was a trifling point, and, though he had raised it, Fred knew very well that no technicality would save him if the truth about him came out. Boris understood all this, undoubtedly, quite as well as Fred or the German captain, but he was beside himself.
She said her father had papers, certificates and so on, that would stop the marriage at once. "She said, also, that her father was in our car, and that there would be the mischief to pay in the morning. It was probably when my sister tried to get the papers that he awakened, and she had to do what she did." It was over. Save for a technicality or two, I was a free man.
I wrote and asked him, with a withering air of technicality, to have the roof repaired "as per agreement," and added, "if not done in one week from now we shall be obliged to take proceedings." I had not mentioned this high line of conduct to my mother at first, and so when old Pettigrew came down in a state of great agitation with my letter in his hand, she was almost equally agitated.

"I bring a good chance for peace, Your Majesty, in the persons of the Traiti rulers and Team-Leader Hovan, who gave me the support and training I needed to survive the Ordeal." Tarlac repressed a smile at that misleading technicality. He'd survived, yes for less than a minute. "We welcome them to the Empire.
Think of german books on religions-philosophie, with the heart's battles translated into conceptual jargon and made dialectic.
