But I can only ask questions for information, and even my doubts or ignorance are not acceptable, but we part always upon very good terms, because I always appear attentive, and so he presumes that of course I must be more instructed than when he came to me.
Once more, these disinherited beings, made neither better nor worse than other creatures, do not become thus incurably corrupted but in the filth of misery, ignorance, and brutality, where they crawl into existence.
None, surely, but an anti-federalist—and from them falsehood receives constant homage; for it is on the basis of falsehood and the summit of ignorance, that all opposition to the federal government is founded.
"See, LeMaury, this is young Master Everett, whom you have bewitched with your paint-pots. He would fain be an artist de gustibus ! Perhaps you have in him an apprentice for your return to France." The artist looked sharply at Nathaniel. "Eh, so? Can young master draw? Doth he know aught of chiaroscuro?" Nathaniel blushed at his ignorance and looked timidly at his protector.
He reigned, indeed, in little things; the great he could never reach: even in the former, too, he was often governed.

"How do you mean?" "'Our cables are stout, Captain Trejago says, and we ought to be able to ride out the storm."
For some time she had been growing more anxious every day. No sign of change showed in any quarter; no way opened through the difficulties that surrounded them, while these were greatly added to by the likelihood appearing that another life was on its way into them. What was to be done? How was she in her ignorance so to guard the hopeless wife that motherhood might do something to console her?
