With renewed vigor he fought his way on, and with a sort of glow of triumph and new-born hope had almost seen his way to a place of comparative safety, when a fearful blow hopelessly maimed him.
Tears flowed from the eyes of some, sobs burst from the bosoms of others, while several turned paler even than before, and their hands hung hopelessly by their sides.
If a speck of dust alights on me, I don't think myself hopelessly befouled; and if some one I loved made a slip, I should only think that it is human to err and that it's humanity I love." "Humanity!" he repeated, looking down. "Ah!" He sighed deeply. He raised his head. "And if some one you loved killed your Jimmy?" "As you ?" "Yes yes?"

His heart beat stormily, his breathing was irregular, he thought he might die of rapture; he feared that in the wild agitation of the moment he might utter a cry, indicative as much of suffering as of joy. There, upon the divan, sat the Princess Amelia.
The only observer of English middle-class life since Jane Austen worthy to be named with her was not George Eliot, who was first ethical and then artistic, who transcended her in everything but the form and method most essential to art, and there fell hopelessly below her.
