"Nor," put in Steinmetz, with his blandest smile, "do we allow fiction to affect our facts." Vassili glanced at Steinmetz sideways. "Here is dinner," he said.

Such little things affect the spirits of such little-minded women.
Christianity is the religion of many weak, uncultivated and little-minded people, and they, by their unwise ways of talking about it, and by their various defects of character, make religion look weak, and poor, and unreasonable.

"I thought so," cried the boy with a snigger "he's a pauper then. Ha, ha, ha! a pauper! I'll tell Courtenay.
As might be expected, she considered herself the superior person of the family; and as often happens, she imposed this estimate of herself upon her husband.
