He undertook to speak, paused, wet his lips, then carefully chose these words: "Do you mean that he did not that she is a good girl?" "Absolutely." He sat down weakly and passed a shaking hand over his face, which had begun to twitch and jerk again as it had on that night when his vengeance was thwarted. "I may as well tell you that I know she's more than that. She's honest and high-principled.

If, a little later, they pursued the phantom instead of the reality, it must be considered that, as yet, they had no political education or experience, and that no high-principled Tribune, like O’Connell, stood forward to lead them.

Looking back on his school life, with all the surprising foulness of the talk of even high-principled boys, it was a deep satisfaction to Hugh to reflect that there had never been in the course of this friendship a single hint, so far as he could recollect, in their own intercourse with each other, of the existence of evil.

But now this letter seemed to her more awful than anything she had been able to conceive. "He's right!" she said; "of course, he's always right; he's a Christian, he's generous! Yes, vile, base creature! And no one understands it except me, and no one ever will; and I can't explain it. They say he's so religious, so high-principled, so upright, so clever; but they don't see what I've seen.

This high-principled girl, strong for self-sacrifice upon the altar of duty, was intensely human.

Indeed, my experience has been, Le Breton, that even the most rabid dissenters prefer to have their sons educated by a sound, moderate, high-principled, and, if I may say so, neutral-tinted church clergyman. And the doctor complacently pulled his white tie straight before the big gilt-framed drawing-room mirror.

But at the present time, it may be easier for both of us if our communications are only written and not spoken. We have both been tried rather high; and both of us are human, however high-principled.

Mrs Ewing is young and thoughtless and pretty which naturally lays her open to ill natured gossip." "My informant is one of the least ill-natured of women; she is a person of the highest principle."
