``Our Peers have, in too many cases, laid aside their frogs, laces, 
bagwigs; and go about in English costume, or ride rising in their 
stirrups,--- in the most headlong manner; nothing but insubordination, 
eleutheromania, confused unlimited opposition in their heads.''

(Carlyle, _French Revolution_, 1.3.IV)


Have we ever had two words sighted in the same sentence?
