My countryman had been five years in China in the customs service, that marvellous organisation which is more impartially open to all the world than any other service in the world.
The problem of the novel is, as you see, a serious one; to solve this problem the author ought to have conscientiously and impartially studied both systems of speculation and then only reach certain conclusions.

We are without a housekeeper, as you know.
It will dispose us to sit down in quiet obscurity, though, judging ourselves impartially, we believe ourselves better entitled to credit, than those on whom it is conferred; closing the entrance against a proud, painful, and malignant passion, from which, under such circumstances, we can otherwise be hardly free, the passion of "high disdain from sense of injured merit."
