"It must have been rather an eye-opener for you, watching me handle this case." "Yes, sir." "The simple, direct method never fails." "No, sir." "Whereas the elaborate does." "Yes, sir." "Right ho, Jeeves." We had arrived at the main entrance of Market Snodsbury Grammar School. I parked the car, and went in, well content.
An exact rendering of difficult English authors soon made Shakespeare's language in both prose and poetry as intelligible as German or French. After mastering the rules of grammar, I needed no teacher except my mother. When I had conquered the first difficulties I took up Tennyson's Idyls of the King, and at last succeeded in translating two of these beautiful poems in the metre of the original.
"Saving exceptions." "Are there any exceptions to truth?" asked Clare incredulously. "Truth isn't grammar nor the British Constitution." "No. But then, we don't know everything. What we call truth is what we know. It is only what we know. All that we don't know, but which is, is true, too especially, all that we don't know about people with whom we have to live." "Oh if people have secrets!"
It is certainly true that a completely strange vocabulary, an utter inversion of grammar, and an elaborate system of honorifics combine to render its acquisition anything but easy. In its fundamental principles, however, it is alluringly simple. In the first place, the Japanese language is pleasingly destitute of personal pronouns.
"Enrico, my boy," said his majesty, "the task awaits you, and the honour. When you come back with the horns and tail of the Firedrake, you shall be crown prince; and Prigio shall be made an usher at the Grammar School it is all he is fit for." Enrico was not quite so confident as Alphonso had been.
Strolling reciters are the least careful of men, each would recite in the language and grammar of his day, and introduce the newly evolved words and idioms, the new and fashionable manners, costume, and weapons of his time.
His English became blurred with regard to grammar; the local speech was good enough for him. When Jock's Past became troublesome, as it had done from the very first, the Black Cat had consolation for its latest recruit; and, while he did not sink quite so far as some of the natives, the shortcoming was attributed more to youth than to the putting on of airifications, as Tate said.
Great objections by the world against the preceding alterations by the Quakers first against the use of thou for you you said to be no longer a mark of flattery the use of it is said to be connected often with false Grammar Custom said to give it, like a noun of number, a singular as well as plural Meaning Consideration of these objections.
He is solicitous to reduce to grammar, what he could not be sure that his authour intended to be grammatical. Shakespeare regarded more the series of ideas, than of words; and his language, not being designed for the reader's desk, was all that he desired it to be, if it conveyed his meaning to the audience. Hanmer's care of the metre has been too violently censured.
It will help you if you keep a record of Dr. Peewee's texts, and write abstracts of his sermons. Grammar, too, and general manners. I hear that you are very self-possessed, which is really good news. My friend Mrs. Beacon was here last week, and she says you bow beautifully!
