"She's crying, that bad girl is, all over Mistress's front breadth," announced Joanna, the parlor maid, through the little window of the butler's pantry. "La me!" ejaculated the cook, raising her hands and the crash towel, "to think of our mistress so demeaning herself!" "What note?" cried Miss Parrott, in great bewilderment. "Rachel, stop crying at once and speak plainly. What note do you mean?"
Hersilia having spoken many such words as these, and the others earnestly praying, a truce was made, and the chief officers came to a parley; the women, in the mean time, brought and presented their husbands and children to their fathers and brothers; gave those that wanted, meat and drink, and carried the wounded home to be cured, and showed also how much they governed within doors, and how indulgent their husbands were to them, in demeaning themselves towards them with all kindness and respect imaginable.
"There's not many people I care about going with since I came back from boarding school, and even for those I do go with Vassie spoils it by saying I'm demeaning myself. She's such a fine lady." "And aren't you?" asked Ishmael, laughing; "that was my first thought when I saw you, anyway." "Was it?" She dimpled with pleasure, but added shrewdly: "I'm not one, though.
In that case we have men, good and true, men fully qualified for the task; men who, while carrying out the primary objects of the prison, good order, good discipline and true reform every way, would also present the best truthful show of legitimate gains in dollars and cents. Certainly it is demeaning to our State to think otherwise.
"Did you ever see Lady Isabel?" she asked, in a low tone. "Not I," returned Afy; "I should have thought it demeaning. One does not care to be brought into contact with that sort of misdoing lot, you know, Madame Vine." "There as another one, a little boy Archibald, I think, his name was. Is he well?" "Oh, the troublesome youngster! He is as sturdy as a Turk. No fear of his going into consumption.
It would appear to be more demeaning to own a small factory or a shop, according to the standards of both literary and non-literary circles, than it is to accept money from the corruption funds of the Government, or bounties from the exchequers of foreign Embassies.
Why, Winona Penniman, would you barter your independence for a union that must be demeaning, at least politically, until our cause is won?" "Well, of course " Winona again faltered, tapping one minute toe of a dancing slipper on the floor. "Do you actually wish," continued Henrietta Plunkett, rising to the foothills of her platform manner, "to become a parasite, a man's bond slave, his creature?
Trickeries are easier and sometimes lead to a kind of success: if our objects were sordid, we might descend to demeaning hypocrisies, we might cheat, we might thieve, perjure, and be puppets, and perhaps so win our way to power; we might think we could use these to better ends, though that doctrine succeeds but rarely; and perhaps what we might achieve may appear to you of some value, even of great value to you."
He and he was not the lonely one when he ate all that he ate and he was not alone, he was not the happy one when he had what he had when he was happily there and sleeping some, he and he was not demeaning himself when he came again and he was always coming and was talking, he was not sacrificing when he was suffering and he was suffering resolution and undertaking and enlarging and he was not the peculiarly losing kind of a one any one was who was not continuing increasing, he was the one and he was the only one and he was the one and meeting was meeting and summering was summering and wintering was wintering and a flower garden was a flower garden; he was one and the neighbors were not leaving and he was not leaving and he was not destroying the rest and they were not destroying anything, he was one and he said the same and he said it all and he changed the whole when he had the dog that he had when he went and he had the dog that he had when he came and he did not stay that a dog could stay and he did not stay when he went away.
Forthwith the thralldom was broken, we hope never again to be felt. How demeaning that a man with a message from the Lord Almighty should be dependent upon paper-mills and gasometers! Paper is a non-conductor of gospel electricity.
