They wanted a publication impervious alike to truth and candour; that, hood-winked itself, should lead public opinion blindfold; that should stick at nothing to serve the turn of a party; that should be the exclusive organ of prejudice, the sordid tool of power; that should go the whole length of want of principle in palliating every dishonest measure, of want of decency in defaming every honest man; that should prejudge every question, traduce every opponent; that should give no quarter to fair inquiry or liberal sentiment; that should be "ugly all over with hypocrisy", and present one foul blotch of servility, intolerance, falsehood, spite, and ill-manners.
This note seemed to make Saint Lambert reflect with himself and to regret his having been so violent; but too haughty in his turn to make open advances, he seized and perhaps prepared, the opportunity of palliating what he had done. A fortnight afterwards I received from Madam d'Epinay the following letter: Thursday, 26th.
The boy obeyed the command and told his story honestly, without concealing or palliating anything that had occurred. "Hm," said Dousa, after the lad had finished his report. "A difficult case. No one is to be acquitted.
No one said "Amen" to the praises heaped on some really deserving people by , but several put in a palliating "pourtant" to the ill-natured remarks made by , whose habit of abusing all who chance to be named is quite as remarkable as the other's habit of praising.

There was no disposition within her to sue for mercy, nor did she purpose denying or palliating her having taken the money. After the usual delay, Mrs. Wentworth was placed in the prisoners' stand and the charges preferred against her. In his usual style Mr.

The Fabians do that kind of thing rather well. We ought to imitate them. We ought to study some subject hard, argue all round it, and then tell the world just how we think it ought to be solved. I thought we might begin on the problem of unemployment...." "Good Lord, do you think we can solve that!" Ninian exclaimed. "No, but we might find a means of palliating it. My own notion...."

Fatality! for this unfortunate child is endowed, so to speak, with an inexorable logic in all that concerns the sensitiveness of the heart and one's honor.
