On the following day Fergus called his servant. "Has that dog stopped shivering yet?" he asked. "It has not, sir," said the servant. "Bring the beast here," said his master, "for whoever else is dissatisfied Fionn must be satisfied."
The dog was brought, and he examined it with a jaundiced and bitter eye. "It has the shivers indeed," he said. "The shivers it has," said the servant. "How do you cure the shivers?" his master demanded, for he thought that if the animal's legs dropped off Fionn would not be satisfied. "There is a way," said the servant doubtfully.英文原著 · 《Irish Fairy Tales》
IOLAUS Yes, thou hast; though it is my business to inquire. SERVANT What then wouldst thou learn of these events? IOLAUS About how many allies has he with him? SERVANT A numerous force; I cannot otherwise describe the number. IOLAUS The leaders of the Athenians know this, I suppose? SERVANT They do; already is their left wing set in array. IOLAUS Is then the host already armed for battle? SERVANT Yea, and already are the victims brought near the ranks.英文原著 · 《THE HERACLEIDAE》
IOLAUS Far less to shrink from sharing with my friends the stubborn fight. SERVANT Mere looks can wound no one, if the arm do naught. IOLAUS Why, cannot I smite even through their shields? SERVANT Smite perhaps, more likely be smitten thyself. IOLAUS No foe will dare to meet me face to face. SERVANT Friend, the strength, that erst was thine, is thine no more. IOLAUS Well, at any rate, I will fight with as many as ever I did. SERVANT Small the weight thou canst throw into the balance for thy friends, IOLAUS Detain me not, when I have girded myself for action.英文原著 · 《THE HERACLEIDAE》
SERVANT 'Tis thou who art slow, not I, though thou fanciest thou art doing wonders. IOLAUS Dost not mark how swift my steps are hasting? SERVANT I mark more seeming than reality in thy haste, IOLAUS Thou wilt tell a different tale when thou seest me there. SERVANT What shall I see thee do? I wish thee all success, at any rate. IOLAUS Thou shalt see me smite some foeman through the shield. SERVANT Perhaps, if ever we get there. I have my fears of that.英文原著 · 《THE HERACLEIDAE》
Thus far, nothing has been said with regard to the custody of servants. It is a well-known doctrine of the criminal law, that a servant who criminally converts property of his master intrusted to him and in his custody as servant, is guilty of theft, because he is deemed to have taken the property from his master's possession.

That's all I know about him."
"He is Mr. Thatcher's man? Oh!" said Moira, "Mr. Thatcher's servant." A subtle note of disappointment sounded in her voice. "Servant, Moira?" said Allan in a shocked tone. "Wipe out the thought. There is no such thing as servant west of the Great Lakes in this country. A man may help me with my work for a consideration, but he is no servant of mine as you understand the term, for he considers himself just as good as I am and he may be considerably better."
"Oh, Allan," protested his sister with flushing face, "I know.英文原著 · 《The Patrol of the Sun Dance Trail》
