He wouldn't grovel perhaps he wasn't quite ready for that; but he would be patient, ridiculous, reasonable, unreasonable, and above all deeply diplomatic. He would be clever, with all his cleverness which he now shook hard, as he sometimes shook his poor, dear, shabby, old watch, to start it up again.
Who have found that with all their cleverness they could not get the very good things for which they left their Father's house; or if they get them, find no enjoyment in them, but only discontent, and shame, and danger, and a sad self-accusing heart spending their money for that which does not feed them after all, and labouring hard for things which do not satisfy them; always longing for something more always finding the pleasure, or the profit, or the honour which a little way off looked so fine, looked quite ugly and worthless, when they come up to it and get hold of it finding all things full of labour; the eye never satisfied with seeing, or the ear with hearing; the same thing coming over and over again.

Not a compromising word could they wring out of her. She bitterly complained of the imprisonment of her governess, Mrs. Ashley, and cried out: "I have not so behaved that you need put more mistresses upon me!" Altogether, she was too much for Sir Robert, and he was wise enough to recognize her cleverness.
But it is you, Niafer, who have won all these things for me with your cleverness, and to me it seems that these wonderful rewards are less wonderful than my dear comrade." "But you too are very wonderful," said Niafer, loyally. Says Manuel, smiling sadly: "I am not so wonderful but that in the hour of my triumph I am frightened by my own littleness.

It was the sort of paper to do harm, not good; but its cleverness was undoubted.
