Interpretation
Hsiang Yu had proven his ruthlessness on many an occasion. He rarely hesitated in doing away with a rival if it served his purposes. But with Liu Pang he acted differently. He respected his rival, and did not want to defeat him through deception; he wanted to prove his superiority on the battlefield, even to force the clever Liu to surrender and to serve him. Every time he had his rival in his hands, something made him hesitate a fatal sympathy with or respect for the man who, after all, had once been a friend and comrade in arms. But the moment Hsiang made it clear that he intended to do away with Liu, yet failed to accomplish it, he sealed his own doom. Liu would not suffer the same hesitation once the tables were turned.
Making a false treaty, he lured Hsiang into relaxing his defense, then slaughtered almost all of his army. Hsiang managed to escape. Alone and on foot, knowing that Liu had put a bounty on his head, he came upon a small group of his own retreating soldiers, and cried out, "I hear Liu Pang has offered one thousand pieces of gold and a fief of ten thousand families for my head. Let me do you a favor." Then he slit his own throat and died.
A few weeks later, in the thick of the hunt, Hsiang scattered his forces unwisely, and in a surprise attack Liu was able to surround his man garrison. For the first time the tables were turned. Now it was Hsiang who sued for peace. Liu's top adviser urged him to destroy Hsiang, crush his army, show no mercy. "To let him go would be like rearing a tiger it will devour you later," the adviser said. Liu agreed.

This greatest success where most niggas fold
I tell you my past, that shit don't get old
But how could you ask like I don't be writin' my raps?
These critics got everyone tapped
You gotta relax, the city where nobody sleep
Just tap in and ask where I'm at
Ho
Under Model Rule 3.3(a)(3), a lawyer must take reasonable remedial measures if the lawyer subsequently learns that a witness called by the lawyer has offered material false evidence. Rule 3.3(c) provides that the obligation continues to the conclusion of the proceeding-not the conclusion of the trial. Comment [13] to Rule 3.3 explains that a proceeding concludes “when a final judgment in the proceeding has been affirmed on appeal or the time for review has passed.”
(b) If a lawyer for an organization knows that an officer, employee or other person associated with the organization is engaged in action, intends to act or refuses to act in a matter related to the representation that is a violation of a legal obligation to the organization, or a violation of law that reasonably might be imputed to the organization, and that is likely to result in substantial injury to the organization, then the lawyer shall proceed as is reasonably necessary in the best interest of the organization. Unless the lawyer reasonably believes that it is not necessary in the best interest of the organization to do so, the lawyer shall refer the matter to higher authority in the organization, including, if warranted by the circumstances to the highest authority that can act on behalf of the organization as determined by applicable law.
(e) A division of a fee between lawyers who are not in the same firm may be made only if:(1) the division is in proportion to the services performed by each lawyer or each lawyer assumes joint responsibility for the representation;(2) the client agrees to the arrangement, including the share each lawyer will receive, and the agreement is confirmed in writing; and(3) the total fee is reasonable.
A lawyer shall not bring or defend a proceeding, or assert or controvert an issue therein, unless there is a basis in law and fact for doing so that is not frivolous, which includes a good faith argument for an extension, modification or reversal of existing law. A lawyer for the defendant in a criminal proceeding, or the respondent in a proceeding that could result in incarceration, may nevertheless so defend the proceeding as to require that every element of the case be established.
Cersei arrives at the Great Sept of Baelor for Tywin's wake. She worries. Tommen seems to have a cold and the current High Septon was appointed by Tyrion. She wonders if she should have him removed. Tommen and Cersei both notice the stench that is emanating from her father's corpse.
After the service, the procession of mourners come to offer condolences to Cersei. First is Falyse Stokeworth, who mentions that her sister is ready to give birth and the family would like to name the child Tywin. Cersei is offended and brusquely forbids her. Next is Lancel who is still looking half dead.
As he begins to mention his love and then his new-found faith, Cersei heads him off by saying, "Atonement is best achieved through prayer. Silent prayer." The only mourner to please Cersei is Taena Merryweather, who promises that all her friends in the Free Cities have been notified to watch for and seize Tyrion.
When Mace Tyrell comes before her, he mentions that his uncle Garth is on the way to assume the duties of Master of Coin. The Queen Regent, not wishing to see another Tyrell on the small council, immediately backpedals that Gyles Rosby has already accepted the post. This upsets Tyrell and his mother, as Tywin had wanted Garth to assume the position.
The Queen of Thorns then brings up the terrible smell in the sept, and Cersei wants nothing more than to get rid of the clever old woman. But Lady Olenna states she will not depart until Margaery is wed to Tommen. Leaving the Sept, Cersei rides back to the Red Keep with Gyles Rosby, asking him belatedly to be her new master of coin, which he accepts.
Back in her rooms, Qyburn pays her a visit, revealing that he discovered in the undergaoler's sleeping cell a gold coin that dated back to the Gardener Kings of the Reach. Once again, Cersei is suspicious that the Tyrells had a hand in Tyrion's escape and Tywin's murder.
Qyburn then asks if he may experiment on the dying Gregor Clegane in the black cells, since he is more adept at the nature of death than any of the archmaesters from the Citadel. She agrees with his request, but tells him to bring her Gregor's head when he dies, as her father had promised it to Dorne. Finally, Kevan meets with her for dinner, as she had requested.
Cersei asks him to be Tommen's Hand. Kevan first admonishes her for making Mace Tyrell look a fool in front of half the court. He then informs her that he would rather help his son Lancel take control of Castle Darry. He offers to take up the position as Hand, provided Cersei removes herself from King's Landing and returns to Casterly Rock. Cersei is infuriated and a fierce argument takes place during which she threatens Kevan.
Unfazed, Kevan counsels her to name Randyll Tarly or Mathis Rowan as Tommen's Hand. As both men are Tyrell vassals, this makes Cersei even more angry and she accuses him of abandoning Tommen. As he departs, Kevan reveals that he knows who Tommen's father really is.
Nearing Braavos, Arya recalls how she originally wanted Captain Ternesio Terys to sail for the Wall. She had no such luck, but concluded that the Free Cities would be a good place to land, considering that Syrio Forel came from Braavos and possibly Jaqen H'ghar as well.
During the voyage, many of the sailors and even the captain have tried to get her to learn and remember their names, and many seem afraid of her. The captain's younger son Denyo is telling Arya some of the history of Braavos and the Titan that guards its port. The free city honors all gods and even has temples devoted to them, and was founded by the Moonsingers when they brought the people to Braavos to escape the dragons of Valyria.
The Titan of Braavos is a massive statue, and has arrow slits and murder holes strategically placed to attack any boat that tries to pass beneath without leave. Furthermore, the Free City of Braavos is protected by the Arsenal, a massive fleet of ships and their fortified port.
The captain has his older son Yorko row Arya to shore, so as to get her off prior to customs coming aboard. As Yorko navigates the hundred isles of Braavos, he points out many of the sites, before dropping her off at the quay in front of the House of Black and White. Arya disembarks, assuring Yorko that she will remember his name, and enters the temple of the Many-Faced God. Within, the temple is quite dark with dozens of odd statues, and Arya notices several people in alcoves who are either dead or dying.
Soon, a robed man with a kind voice tells her that the House of Black and White is a place of peace. He asks her name, but despite Arya's use of nicknames, the man keeps asking until she admits that she is Arya Stark. When the man asks if she fears death, Arya answers no. The man removes his cowl to reveal a decaying, horrible visage, but she sees through the illusion. Impressed, the kindly man asks if she is hungry, to which Arya thinks: Yes, but not for food.
Firm names, letterhead and professional designations are communications concerning a lawyer’s services. A firm may be designated by the names of all or some of its current members, by the names of deceased members where there has been a succession in the firm’s identity or by a trade name if it is not false or misleading. A lawyer or law firm also may be designated by a distinctive website address, social media username or comparable professional designation that is not misleading. A law firm name or designation is misleading if it implies a connection with a government agency, with a deceased lawyer who was not a former member of the firm, with a lawyer not associated with the firm or a predecessor firm, with a nonlawyer or with a public or charitable legal services organization. If a firm uses a trade name that includes a geographical name such as “Springfield Legal Clinic,” an express statement explaining that it is not a public legal aid organization may be required to avoid a misleading implication.
(b) Notwithstanding the existence of a concurrent conflict of interest under paragraph (a), a lawyer may represent a client if: (1) the lawyer reasonably believes that the lawyer will be able to provide competent and diligent representation to each affected client; (2) the representation is not prohibited by law; (3) the representation does not involve the assertion of a claim by one client against another client represented by the lawyer in the same litigation or other proceeding before a tribunal; and (4) each affected client gives informed consent, confirmed in writing.
Down in the library beneath Castle Black, Sam is trying to dig up any information on the Others for his Lord Commander, Jon Snow. Returning to the surface, Sam considers how hard Jon has been working the men of the Watch. He meets Dolorous Edd, Pyp, and Grenn, and they mention how much Jon has changed, acting different and barely spending any time with his friends; although he never misses a day practising his sword work. We learn that Stannis has plans for Val, Dalla's sister, seeking to use her in order to forge an alliance between the wildlings and the northmen. Thus far only the Karstarks, who have no other choice, have agreed to ally with Stannis.
Sam arrives at Jon's solar, and Jon shows him a letter he plans to send to King Tommen which declares that Stannis is aiding them in their battle, but the Night's Watch is not sworn to his cause. They discuss how Melisandre means to sacrifice Mance Rayder for his king's blood, Jon states, "Mance's blood is no more royal than mine own". He reveals to Sam that he is sending Gilly and "the boy" far away from the Wall. Sam tells Jon that he has uncovered little on the Others, but one book mentioned dragonsteel swords as being effective against them. However, neither is sure if dragonsteel and Valyrian steel are the same thing.
Jon breaks the news that he is sending Sam to the Citadel so he can train to become a maester and replace Aemon. Sam will travel by sea from Eastwatch, along with Gilly, the baby, and Maester Aemon. The thought of becoming a maester frightens Sam, bringing back memories of his father's wrath when he had mentioned training at the Citadel to him when he was a boy. His father had chained him by the neck in a cell and left him there for three days, telling him "no son of House Tarly will ever wear a chain". Lastly, Jon commands Sam to never call himself craven again.
The next morning, as the party prepares to set off for Eastwatch where they will join up with Dareon, Gilly begs Jon to find a good wetnurse for the other baby.
Brienne travels to Duskendale, seeking the whereabouts of Sansa as she was charged to do by Jaime. Having found few leads in King's Landing, Brienne asks nearly everyone she can along the roads and villages, but she never mentions Sansa by name. Upon the road beyond Rosby, she comes upon a camp with Illifer the Penniless and Creighton Longbough, two hedge knights who offer to share their meal.
Mistaking her at first for a man, Ser Illifer later remarks on how Brienne bears a shield with the sigil of House Lothston, a disgraced family who once held Harrenhal. Brienne was given the shield by Ser Jaime, who had taken it from Harrenhal. When she tells the two that she lost her own shield, Illifer figures out by her size that she must be Brienne, murderess of King Renly. The Maid of Tarth denies having killed Renly, and the hedge knights agree to travel with her to Duskendale.
After passing a large group of poor fellows (or 'sparrows'), lowly holy men bound for King's Landing bearing the bones of septons killed around the riverlands, they catch up to a merchant guarded by a couple of men and another hedge knight named Ser Shadrich. Joining forces along the dangerous road, Shadrich tells Brienne in private that he knows that the maid she seeks is Sansa Stark, and that he seeks her as well, but for a purse of gold offered by Varys.
Brienne is disturbed by the fact that the knight knew whom she was speaking of when she repeated Sansa's description to the merchant's group. When the party stops at an inn, the Old Stone Bridge, for the night, Brienne slips off on her own, swearing to herself that she will not fail Jaime, having already failed King Renly and Lady Catelyn.
Again Fan Tseng warned Hsiang, "Crush him now! If you let him go again, you will be sorry later." But Hsiang decided to be merciful. He wanted to bring Liu back to Ch'u alive, and to force his former friend to acknowledge him as master. But Fan proved right: Liu managed to use the negotiations for his surrender as a distraction, and he escaped with a small army. Hsiang, amazed that he had yet again let his rival slip away, once more set out after Liu, this time with such ferocity that he seemed to have lost his mind. At one point, having captured Liu's father in battle, Hsiang stood the old man up during the fighting and yelled to Liu across the line of troops, "Surrender now, or I shall boil your father alive!" Liu calmly answered, "But we are sworn brothers. So my father is your father also. If you insist on boiling your own father, send me a bowl of the soup!" Hsiang backed down, and the struggle continued.
Realizing his mistake, Hsiang hurriedly marched on Hsien-yang, this time determined to hack off his rival's head. Liu was never one to fight when the odds were against him, and he abandoned the city. Hsiang captured Hsien-yang, murdered the young prince of Ch'in, and burned the city to the ground. Liu was now Hsiang's bitter enemy, and he pursued him for many months, finally cornering him in a walled city. Lacking food, his army in disarray, Liu sued for peace.
Fan Tseng urged Hsiang to kill his rival before it was too late. He told the general to invite the wily peasant to a banquet at their camp outside head cut off. The invitation was sent; Liu fell for the trap, and came to the banquet. But Hsiang hesitated in ordering the sword dance, and by the time he gave the signal, Liu had sensed a trap, and managed to escape. "Bah!" cried Fan Tseng in disgust, seeing that Hsiang had botched the plot. "One cannot plan with a simpleton. Liu Pang will steal your empire yet and make us all his prisoners."

Firmly solidifying her authorial intent, Austen's epilogue reinforces her central message, promoting female autonomy while fighting against societal conventions. Resonating with this, Elizabeth’s teachings to Georgiana, imparting "knowledge which had never fallen in her way" and showing that a woman "may take liberties with her husband," illustrates the very didactic lessons Austen aims to convey to her 19th-century readership. Elizabeth and Jane also serve as role models to their younger sister, Kitty, making her "less irritable, less ignorant, and less insipid." Emphasising the impact of strong female role models in promoting independence, Austen uses a triple, with Elizabeth acting as Austen’s authorial surrogate, guiding younger women and embodying holistic messages. Demonstrating subtle growth, Mr. Bennet echoes Austen's authorial intent by acknowledging the consequences of his past neglect.
Over the course of the narrative, this shift demonstrates Austen’s critique of complacent fatherhood and her belief in the importance of taking responsibility, even belatedly. Meanwhile, the epilogue contrasts the transformative characters who pursued authenticity with the stagnant ones who remained shallow. Considering this notion, Lydia and Wickham’s unstable relationship, based on vanity and impulsive desire, is mirrored in their "unsettled" lifestyle, reinforcing Austen's warning that relationships lacking emotional and intellectual compatibility are unsustainable. Here, their "cheap situation" is synonymousl their superficial marriage, a use of dramatic irony that critiques such materialistic unions. Alternatively, the Gardiners represent a healthy, genuine relationship, serving as a paralleled plotline with Elizabeth and Darcy's marriage. Reflecting this contrast, the novel's final words, "uniting them," cement Austen's belief in true love and connection amidst a flawed society. Therefore, the denouement consolidates Austen's critiques, championing women's independence and authenticity in relationships.
In the exposition, Austen strongly critiques the ostentation of first impressions and the societal expectation to hold prejudice, revealing how these quick assessments often lead to misunderstandings and hinder genuine connections in early 19th-century society. Mirroring this concept in volume one, Austen uses the foiling of characters to explicate the fickle nature of society in her carefully curated temporal setting of neoclassic England, where Austen deliberately represents Mr Bingley as upholding "pleasant countenance" who "danced every dance". Here, the superlative lexical choice of "pleasant" connotes how immediate admiration was awarded to those with a respected reputation. Extending this concept, in high contrast, Mr. Darcy's refusal to mingle, dancing only with his acquaintances and spending the evening "walking about the room," quickly turns praise into disdain. Reiterated in the phrase "his manners gave a disgust which turned the tide of his popularity", Austen condemns the materialistic system of initial judgments based solely on façade and wealth. Essentially, Austen's juxtaposes Mr. Darcy's cold, aloof behaviour with Mr. Bingley's warm and engaging manners to critique how class and riches can distort social interactions. Delving deeper into the intricacies of social decorum, Austen examines how under a glittering veneer of the Regency area, is where a character's true nature is hidden. Austen aims to condemn the collective expectation to judge a person's entire character on initial interactions, a unnegotiated rule set by society at the time. Notabley, Austen facilitates this concept through the physical setting of the Pemberly estate, serving as a metonym for Darcy. Given the estate is described as a "handsome, stone building", Austen suggests that this is emblematic of Darcy's exterior, and his "handsome features". Echoing Austen's later revelations, the setting is synonymous with the idea that the extrinsic qualities of both Pemberley and Darcy are deceptive of the interior, where 'a more gentle' truth is later discovered. Recognising the shallowness of first impressions and widespread social judgment, Austen criticises how these hasty evaluations cause misinterpretations and obstruct authentic relationships in 19th-century society.
Austen weaves her overarching intent in volume two, advocating that transformation and reflection is necessary in overcoming pride and prejudice, specifically through marriage and gender roles. Challenging the expectation that women should marry for financial security rather than love and intellectual equality, Elizabeth rejects Mr. Collins’ and Mr. Darcy’s initial proposals. Here, Austen reveals Elizabeth’s internal monologue through free indirect discourse, illuminating her independence and self-awareness, which overturn the "angel in the house" archetype of the time; by refusing to be "the wife of a man whose feelings she does not respect," Elizabeth denies the societal pressures that dictate women’s subservient roles in marriage. In Austen's strategic syntax, the words "angel" and "house" connote the admiration placed on the expected roles of women in the Regency era. Engaging in careful narrative pacing, Mr. Darcy’s transformation is revealed gradually; initially portrayed as “disagreeable,” Darcy’s true nature is only fully understood through Austen's epistolary form, in which he admits he was “taught me a lesson." Valuing the suspense created by Austen's intentional delayed revelation mirrors Elizabeth’s own shifting perception, her anagnorisis underscoring how first impressions and societal standards can obscure true character. Exemplifying the suffocating cultural norms and constraints of expectations, Austen uses physical settings emblematic of these pressures.While Elizabeth explores the "delightful gardens" of Pemberley, Austen’s use of superlative language implies a sense of autonomy and self-discovery, symbolizing her rejection of the limitations placed on women in her society. In stark contrast, the interior world of Longbourn embodies the consuming constrictions of social decorum, where Elizabeth’s “feelings will not be repressed," emphasising the inability for men to express emotions in this rigid structure that governs behaviour. This juxtaposition between the liberating outdoors and the oppressive interiors reinforces Austen’s critique of societal norms, synonymous with Darcy and Elizabeth’s journey toward self-empowerment and their desire to break free from the shackles of expectations.
