But he declined to assume the title of emperor until the South German people should express their acquiescence, as the South German princes had already done. We may contrast the conduct of the Prussian king with the unwisdom of the French emperor.

Unfortunately, many case workers, having started bravely and exhausted the first crop of clues, become discouraged and fall back on the supposition that the man is permanently out of the scene, and that it only remains to make plans for the family. Numberless case histories attest the unwisdom of this assumption.

"Let a puppy eat the soap in the bath-room or chew a newly blacked boot.

I know that what the noble Lord said was all very smart, but really it was not true, and I have not much respect for a thing that is merely smart and is not true. The Chancellor of the Exchequer made a statement too.

Clarke was innocent, but, as he looked into Rosamund's honest brown eyes, he thought that Mrs. Clarke must have been singularly imprudent.
