And does not good sense and common observation, show of what infinite use it is to please? Oh! but one may please by the good qualities of the heart, and the knowledge of the head, without that fashionable air, address and manner, which is mere tinsel. I deny it. A man may be esteemed and respected, but I defy him to please without them.
I fought strenuously in the Leeds Mercury against what I styled the vivisection of the great boroughs; but I need not say that I fought in vain. I had many a good-humoured argument with Forster on the subject, but he would never admit that I was right, though after twenty years' experience and observation I am only now strengthened in my original opinion.
The two friends, for so we may call them, were left almost in the exclusive possession of the hotel, and without observation discussed their several plans of departure. Forrester had determined to commence his journey that very night; while Ralph, with what might seem headstrong rashness, chose the ensuing day for a like purpose. But the youth was not without his reasons for this determination.
The caterpillars were all of the same kind, though varying in size, their length being from one-half to three-quarters of an inch. To all appearances they were dead, but more careful observation revealed signs of slight vitality.
The French, in turn, were resolved to capture and destroy Oswego. In the summer of 1756, they were busy drawing up papers and instructions for the attack. Montcalm wrote to his wife that he had never before worked so hard. He kept every one busy, his aide-de-camp, his staff, and his secretaries. No detail was too minute for his observation.
"I do not trust him, in spite of his attempted denial." Tom and Ned took a quick but thorough observation outside the tent.

"No. All's quiet along the Potomac.
"Janet, can we not find some point of observation where we may look upon the maskers unseen?" "Thou art speaking my own mind.
'Why not? inquired the Captain. 'Why? The amount's three hundred and seventy, odd, replied the broker. 'Never mind, returned the Captain, though he was evidently dismayed by the figures: 'all's fish that comes to your net, I suppose? 'Certainly, said Mr Brogley. 'But sprats ain't whales, you know. The philosophy of this observation seemed to strike the Captain.
"I am pleased to hear that," said Mrs Patrick, rather icily, for this last observation had seemed to her a little rude. "Very," chimed in Miss Stringer. After this there was a silence, which Riddell devoutly hoped might last till it was time to go.
A great many of the single Caribou were on the small islands. In six cases that came under close observation the animal in question had a broken leg.
