Gladstone begged his friends not to divide, because, he said, it was very important that we should present a substantial unity to India. I see it has been called vague and sketchy. It cannot be anything else, on the broad principle set out by Mr. Gladstone If that effort is seriously to be made, by whom is it to be made?
"Will you have a pipe or a cigar?" "Cigar, please," replied James. The doctor pushed the box toward him. James realized immediately a ten-cent cigar at the least when he began to smoke. Doctor Gordon filled a pipe mechanically. His face still wore the gloomy, almost fierce, expression which it had assumed at table. He was a handsome man in a rough, sketchy fashion.
Diderot's plays ought to be looked upon merely as sketchy illustrations of a favourite theory; as the rough drawings on the black board with which a professor of the fine arts may accompany a lecture on oil painting. One radical part of Diderot's dramatic doctrine is wholly condemned by modern criticism; and it is the part which his plays were especially designed to enforce.
One comforts the whole world in a slipshod, sketchy kind of way; but one could do the particular man thoroughly!" "And then find he wasn't worth the doing, in all probability," added Cecil. "Perhaps." And Elisabeth smiled. "It is delightful to be really talking to you," exclaimed Cecil; "so delightful that I can hardly believe it is true!
Frank Nelsen's view of empire-building on the Moon was brief, all encompassing, and far too sketchy to be very satisfying, as Rodan turned about in his universal-gimbaled pilot seat spiralled his battered rocket down backwards, with the small nuclear jets firing forward in jerky, tooth-cracking bursts, to check speed further.
Wilcox and Sargent and reads as follows: "In Pangasinán 'the people were all very respectful and polite and offered the hospitality of their homes." Doubtless true, but as a summary of conditions perhaps a trifle sketchy. Nueva Ecija Nueva Ecija was the next province visited by Wilcox and Sargent. They have failed to inform us that: One of those questioned said:
That is the secret of the futile journey to America that puzzled all my friends. I ran away from Isabel. I took hold of the situation with all my strength, put in Britten with sketchy, hasty instructions to edit the paper, and started headlong and with luggage, from which, among other things, my shaving things were omitted, upon a tour round the world. Preposterous flight that was!
Ransom could see there was no crowd at Marmion, as soon as he got there, though indeed there was a rush, which directed itself to the only vehicle in waiting outside of the small, lonely, hut-like station, so distant from the village that, as far as one looked along the sandy, sketchy road which was supposed to lead to it, one saw only an empty land on either side.
Now with a sort of grim relief I looked the facts in the face. My hot water appearing, I made a sketchy toilet, and then descended to the courtyard where I lounged and smoked. My state of mind was peculiar. As I struck a match I noticed with a queer pride that my hand was steady. With a cold, almost sardonic clarity, I thought of Miss Falconer.
Both cities are "smelly," though Venice, even at its worst, stands many degrees above the incredible filth of Srinagar. Finally both cities are within sight of snowy ranges; although it seems hardly fair to place in comparison the majestic range that overhangs Srinagar and the somewhat distant and sketchy view of the Alps as seen from Venice. Here, I think, all resemblance ceases.
