The fritter-woman upbraided the sweetmeat-man, who in return reviled the sausage- vender, who remarked that if Angelo or Peppina had received the sausages at the door, as they should, he would never have been in the house at all; adding a few picturesque generalizations concerning the moral turpitude of Angelo's parents and the vicious nature of their offspring.
The formal or regulative laws of religious thought occupy it. Theology, dogmatic or polemic, is an explanatory defence of some particular faith. Together with mythology and symbolism, it furnishes the material from which the Science and Philosophy of Religion seek to educe the laws and frame the generalizations which will explain the source and aim of religion in general.
How many like me are upon you, long-suffering Mother!" And from the fact that he did nothing he drew generalizations, seeing in it a sign of the times. "When we are married let us go together into the country, my precious; there we will work! We will buy ourselves a little piece of land with a garden and a river, we will labour and watch life. Oh, how splendid that will be!"

I could guess what the effort had cost her. "My cousin is given to generalizations. My opinion may have some weight with the committee " "Well, then " she timidly prompted. "For that very reason I can't buy the picture." She said, with a drooping note, "I don't understand." "Yet you told me," I reminded her, "that you knew museums didn't buy unsigned pictures."
