She knew two girls in Bergen who had done it; but one of them had got two months' imprisonment because she had been a fool and hadn't killed it, but only left it out to freeze to death; and the other had been acquitted. "No," said Barbro, "the law's not so cruel hard now as it used to be. And besides, it's not always it gets found out."
Seward's clear insight into practical things, backed by the quiet working energy of his nature, brought about many changes, and the changes he effected and the reforms he inaugurated must ever rank his name high among statesmen. By his influence the law's delay in the courts of chancery was curtailed, and this prepared the way for radical changes in the Constitution.
'Come, Tryst! I said, 'it's not my doing, you know! 'Ah! he said, 'I know that; and it'll be blanky well the worse for THEM! Rough tongue; no class of man at all, he is! 'Yes, he said, 'let 'em look out; I'll be even with 'em yet! 'None o' that! I told him; 'you know which side the law's buttered.
He was able to persuade himself that she would look upon the unfortunate affair as necessary for the assertion of his honour; but how could he hope for any further happiness, a criminal in the law's eye, and an exile from the country of Aster?

Criticism of Trade Boards has fastened on their power to determine higher rates of wages for skilled workers, one of the additional powers that they secured under the Act of 1918.

I protest that I have come closer than I care into the public thoughts with this prodigy, this John Law, whose favor is sought by every one. Honor! 'tis not less than outrage!"
At bottom, of course, since war, in Mr. Bonar Law's fine phrase, is "never inevitable only the failure of human wisdom," it depends upon whether we become a little less or a little more wise. If the former, we shall have it; if the latter, we shall not. But this dogmatism concerning the other man's evil intentions is the very thing that leads away from wisdom.
But, good woman, thou must take these pills no other way but as I have prescribed; for if you do, they will do no good." I have taken one illustration from William Law's life; I shall take another from that world of such illustrations and so close. "O God, let me never see such another day as this. Let the dreadful punishment of this day never be out of my mind." And it never was.
M. le Duc d'Orleans refused to see the financier, who went away without an interview. On the day after, however, Law was admitted by the back stairs, closeted with the Regent, and was treated by him as well as ever. The comedies were over. On Sunday, the 2nd of June, Benzualde and his Swiss withdrew from Law's house.
