Touchy themselves, they read all history in the light of personal affronts and tiffs; and I find this weakness indicated by the big thumb of Bismarck, when he places "sensitiveness to small disrespects Empfindlichkeit ueber Mangel an Respect," among the causes of the wild career of Knappe.

Oh, she shall learn to repent her disrespects to Mrs. Hoel, of Cardiffe. I pelieve she shall soon meet herself in the public newspapers her eyes, and her nose, and her hair, and her inches, and her description at full length she shall see and her friends shall see it too and maybe they shall thank, and maybe they shall reward handsomely Mrs. Hoel, of Cardiffe."

Meanin' no disrespects for you gents knows me too well to dream of me harborin' anything but feelin's of the highest regyards for one an' all I'll have to leave you camped in original darkness. It would be breakin' professional confidences.

"Did you know Queen Anne was dead?" said another. "The ladies won't be harmed. Any one that disrespects the ladies will be chucked out."

It is this: he was never a dishonourable friend; but men appear to be capable of friendship with women only for as long as we keep out of pulling distance of that line where friendship ceases.

Our disrespects, I think, are all tender, and we wouldn't for the world do to a person we don't like anything so nice as to call him, or even to call her, don't you know ?" His questioner had quickly looked as if he knew. "Something pleasant and vulgar?" Mitchy's gaiety deepened. "That discrimination's our only austerity. You must fall in." "Then what will you call ME?" "What can we?"
