I do not know the date of some lovely white marble palazzetti scattered about the Rittenhouse Square region; but the Art Club on Broad Street, and the Houston Club for Students of the University of Pennsylvania, are both quite recent buildings, and both very beautiful. There is only one city the New Yorker despises more than Philadelphia, and that is Brooklyn.
"My dear Stephen, they nearly killed that poor boy, and I sha'n't allow it. Don Anibal Alfarez is not the only presidential timber in the republic. If he breaks with us it will cost him dearly. You think he is friendly, but I know that deep down in his crafty old heart he despises all us Americans and is only waiting a chance to gratify his spleen. The moment he dares, he'll turn against us."
I believe that you, my own father, are ready to supplant me, I know that Julius, my cousin, is straining every nerve to procure my downfall; but you shall learn how a man who despises the pinchbeck honors of a throne can defeat your petty malice and miserable scheming. Monsieur Nesimir, I proclaim Kosnovia a Republic from this hour! Here and now I abdicate!
Levy informs me privately that L'Estrange will be well satisfied if the choice of Lansmere fall upon Leslie instead of Egerton; and I think I convinced my Lord for I saw him in London that Egerton would have no chance, though Leslie might." "I must think that Lord L'Estrange would resist to the utmost any attempt to prefer Leslie whom he despises to Egerton, whom he honours.
I have helped to teach him that I am no better than any of these Italian women whom he despises. I spoke to him as his wife should do, at last. He feigned to think me jealous, and I too remember the words of the reproach, as if they had a meaning. Ah, my friend! I would say of nothing that it is impossible, except this task of recovering lost ground with one who is young.
Here is the highest revelation of God's desire for man to be reconciled with Him, and be at one with Him, His happy child; but man either despises or spurns His overtures.
Vergor drew his lips together for a soft whistle, as he rose to direct the storing of his goods. "It is a young general with whom I am to have the honor of messing. I thought he had the air of camps and courts the moment I saw his head over the side of the cart." Many a boy secretly despises the man to whose merry insolence he submits.
My friend here, Sir Philip Errington, despises them don't you, Phil?" Errington nodded demurely. "What my friend said just now is perfectly true," continued Lorimer. "We desire the honor of your acquaintance, it will charm and delight us above all things!"
With a man I didn't love I might have done so, but not with a man I despised." "You have been saved, then, from a greater evil." "Yes; but not the less is his injury to me. It is not because he despises me that he rejects me; nor is it because he thought that I had taken property that was not my own." "Why then?" "Because he was afraid the world would say that I had done so. Poor shallow creature!
She despises men all of them except her brother, Sir Hugh. Lord Rockminster admires her tremendously, but he's too lazy to say so, I suppose. How has she taken such a fancy to you?" "I was not aware she had," Lionel discreetly made answer, though the question had startled him, and not with pain. "Oh, yes, she has. Did she think you were lone and unprotected, being persecuted by the rest of us?
