Another person giving a circumstantial account of a local legend said: ‘So when she mingled with Heracles—’ ‘Without Heracles’s mingling with her?’
He asked a man who told him that he must have a close crop, what his particular felony had been.

When some one described his sick servant as undergomg torture, he asked, ‘What for? what do they suppose they are going to get out of him?’
Some one was said to be going ahead in his studies. ‘Let me see,’ he said; ‘it is Plato, I think, who calls that making progress.’
'Will we have a fine day?'' ‘If God shall.’
