durance

And I said: My dear, I have been in durance vile.

It was the probation, the durance; they all three accepted it; I dont believe there was ever any promise between Henry and Bon demanded or offered.

They were under lock and key and had been unceremoniously bundled into durance vile without the formality of an introduction.

Moreover, if any persons were then in durance contrary to the provisions of the Ordonnance, they were to be set at liberty.

I sat down in a large arm-chair which stood at one end of the library table, and thought over all the possible means of extricating myself from an unexpected durance.
