Examples from texts

And as soon as Leo became pope in the difficult situation bequeathed by Pius IX, the duality of his nature appeared: on one hand was the firm guardian of dogmas, on the other the supple politician resolved to carry conciliation to its utmost limits.
Dès que Léon XIII est pape, dans la difficile situation laissée par Pie IX, se révèle la dualité de sa nature, le gardien inébranlable du dogme, le politique souple, résolu à pousser la conciliation aussi loin qu’il le pourra.

Il posait devant Rougon, il se donnait un mal énorme pour entretenir celui-ci des seuls objets qu'il croyait devoir l'intéresser, très désireux d'ailleurs de se montrer à lui sous un jour d'homme politique solide.

Il eut un pâle sourire où tout le politique conciliant et avisé apparut, bien résolu à ne pas laisser compromettre son infaillibilité dans des aventures inutiles.
