As a man he had retained the primitive joy in the coming of the child, any child, but his child and the first one above all! Compared with that nothing was of the least importance.

And taking her again into his arms and kissing her, he added, "We'll give the little beggar a royal welcome, girl!"
Three classes, the nobles, the clergy and the bourgeoisie, provided this superior elite, and, compared with the rest of the nation, they themselves formed an elite.

Or if you come down to so poor a thing as mere feeling, what are your feelings in reading about Nino's deeds compared with what he felt in doing them? I am not taking all this trouble to please you, but only for Nino's sake, who is my dear boy.
Such conditions are not bad, but they are nevertheless objectionable, when compared with the neatness and cleanliness of the clerk in the bank or behind the counter. We do not write these words in any spirit of disparagement, but merely from the point of view at which many young people in the country view them.
