It is a way they have; the police are no respecters of persons; neither do they pry into the question of motives.
"Hilda Wade A Woman With Tenacity Of Purpose"
Grant Allen

"The Heather-Moon"
C. N. Williamson and A. M. Williamson
A faint tinkle of cows in the early morning filing to the pasture, the warning shout of the barefooted boy who drives them, are the only sounds that break the Sabbath silence, except, again, the chirp and song of birds in the trees, which are no respecters of days, and which sing as blithely, even in the deacon's maples, on "Sabbath morning" as in the tavern ash on the Fourth of July.
