Then, of course, there were noble dreamers, incorrigible idealists, like Armitage, men whom experience could not teach nor disappointment sour. Men gifted with eternal youth, victimised and sacrificed by others, yet sifting and purifying the vilest waste in the crucible of their imaginations, so that no meanness, nor the sorrow born of the knowledge of meanness in others, ever darkens their path.
"Well, then whip me, or I shall go mad." "Haven't I forbidden you," said Wanda sternly, "but you are incorrigible." "Oh, I am so terribly in love." I had sunken on my knees, and was burying my glowing face in her lap. "I really believe," said Wanda thoughtfully, "that your madness is nothing but a demonic, unsatisfied sensuality. Our unnatural way of life must generate such illnesses.
"But Nancy?" she questioned anxiously. "She will live," said the doctor briefly. And then he added with a frown: "But the child may not which would doubtless be the best thing possible for all concerned. I'm afraid the woman is incorrigible." Then the professional part of him came to its own again: "You'll have to send somebody up there to relieve Eliza.
“I should like you to have a dark blue velvet coat, a white piqué waistcoat, and a soft gray felt hat.... Tell me, did you believe that I didn’t care for you when I said I didn’t mean what I wrote?” “No, I didn’t believe it.” “Oh, you insupportable person, you are incorrigible.”
The door will be closed upon them as incorrigible and irredeemable; and the saints in heaven will go on singing, and harping, and jigging, regardlesss of these obstinate wretches, these ultimate failures, these lost souls, these everlasting inheritors of perdition. Humanity is growing day by day. So is common sense. Every decently educated person will soon insist on the abolition of hell.
In Ellmington lived Jake Farnum, an ex-deputy marshal and an incorrigible liar, about whom gathered the boys, Jim among them, to hear exciting stories of chase and detection, exactly as boys in a seaport town gather about an old sailor to hear tales of pirates and buccaneers. And Jake loved to hint darkly that the best people shared in the illicit traffic.
I'm certain that in a short time there'd have been money to make over it." "It'll be nice, won't it, if the women are going to move into our forsaken snail-shells?" said Brun half seriously. "Ellen's always been an incorrigible capitalist," Pelle put in. "It's only that I've never had so much money that I shouldn't know what it was worth," answered Ellen, with ready wit. Old Brun laughed.
"You are an incorrigible, hopeless Don Quixote. That's what you are." I was surprised. I was only fifteen and did not know what he meant exactly. But I felt vaguely flattered at the name of the immortal knight turning up in connection with my own folly, as some people would call it to my face. Alas! I don't think there was anything to be proud of.
Rylance decided that this girl was incorrigible: she was beyond the pale: she was a kind of monster, a being of imperfect development, a blunder of nature like the sloth and his fellow tardigrades: a psychological mystery: inasmuch as she did not care for him. So having made up his mind to have done with her, Dr. Rylance found that the end of love is the beginning of hate.
Far from reproaching the duke for this incorrigible infidelity, she encouraged him in it, and was very glad to be left to herself, as she cared nothing for him. Her chief pleasure was to have the ballet-girls who aspired to the honours of the handkerchief come to her to solicit her good offices.
