...plan sounded good to almost the whole Chamber. Deputies who might have been expected to speak for half the night cut their remarks unusually short. By 1:15 a. m. the Chamber, which thinks nothing of debating until dawn, had given Premier Herriot precisely what he wanted, a landslide vote of confidence 430 to 20-with 150 "friendly abstentions...
Ever since the dawn of the family institution, the designation "perfect marriage" has constituted a challenge for cynics, and in these later years, for psychoanalysis to search out and expose to general derision some herrid flaw, some suppressed hate or combat concealed by any couple known to boast of "never having a quarrel."

S. reader, Tory if no longer colonial, shares the British dread of untrimmed edges, prefers the clipped formality of more traditional writers...
Later in the evening they spied a light at sea. Burning their last films, oil and flares, they hailed the trawler Lord Talbot. At dawn the next morning she nosed in through the ice to pick them up. As they boarded the ship, they saw an iceberg slowly crush the wreck of the Familia Volano...
