 * work wilily.

 * ambassadors.
   The word {tzir,} an ambassador, properly denotes a hinge;
   because an ambassador is a person upon whom the business turns
   as upon a hinge.  So the Latin {Cardinalis,} from {cardo,} a
   hinge, was the title of the prime minister of the emperor
   Theodosius, though now applied only to the Pope's electors and
   counsellors.

 * wine bottles.
   These bottles being made of skin, were consequently liable to
   be rent, and capable of being mended; which is done, according
   to Chardin, by putting in a piece, or by gathering up the
   wounded piece in the manner of a purse; and sometimes by
   inserting a flat piece of wood.
