It is a conventional saying that sainthood and angelhood include the quality of a lady, but that saying is not true; a lady has a great number of negatives all her own, and also some things positive that are not at all included in goodness. However this may be and it is not important Dickens, the genial Dickens, makes savage sport of women.
Those, then, who wish to engage a few trusty enemies out of place need only advertise among the unsuccessful. P.S. For one service we should be particularly thankful to our enemies they save us so much in stimulants. Their unbelief so helps our belief, their negatives make us so positive.
"Why not?" "That's my affair." "Is your name Adolf Groener?" "No." "Are you a wood carver?" "No." "Have you recently been disguised as a wood carver?" "No." He spoke the three negatives with a listless, rather bored air. "Groener, you are lying and I'll prove it shortly. Tell me, first, if you have money to employ a lawyer?" "Possibly, but I wish no lawyer." "That is not the question.
It was not a negative of a drawing of yours, but of a Russian twenty-ruble note!" This was a discovery. The only possible reason any man could have for photographing a bank-note was the manufacture of an etched plate for the production of forged copies. I was almost as pleased as I had been at the discovery of your negatives.

There can never be but one first of anything, and if the negatives of these films survive the shrinking and the warping that comes with time, they will still be, in a certain sense, classic, and ten years hence or two years hence will still be better remembered than any films of the current releases, which come on like newspapers, and as George Ade says: "Nothing is so dead as yesterday's newspaper."
Nay, even after his return to England, and during the six months of his regular work on the Morning Post, the vigour of his political articles entirely negatives the idea that any relaxation of intellectual energy had as yet set in. Yet within six months of his leaving London for Keswick there begins a progressive decline in Coleridge's literary activity in every form.
Being asked by some official what the article was, he replied, 'My looking-glass, and in that way passed it off as personal wardrobe, so escaped the duty. "Father Secchi had brought with him, to show me, negatives of the planet Saturn, the rings showing beautifully, although the image was not more than half an inch in size.
Vincent's expression was not alarming as she moved a step toward them and asked: "Which of my girls will be willing to give up her afternoon recreation period and devote that time to the preparation of tomorrow's work!" The effect was amusing. Some of the girls gave little gasps of surprise, others, ohs! of protest, others distinct negatives, while a good many seemed delighted at the prospect.
