Glascock, how the most remote connection with a thing of that kind tarnishes a young woman's standing in the world?" Mr. Glascock was almost angry with the well-pleased Countess as he declared that he could not see that Miss Rowley's standing was at all tarnished; and old Lady Milborough, when he got up and left her, felt that she had done a good morning's work.
We recall how emphatically and absolutely it eulogised Barnabas as 'a good man, full of the Holy Ghost and of faith' and now we have to notice how this man, thus full of the seminal principle of all goodness, derived into his soul by deep and constant communion through faith, and showing in his life practical righteousness and holiness, yet goes sadly astray, tarnishes his character, and mars his whole future.
"It would be nice to become a successful author, but when a man is as rich as I am fame tarnishes." I took out an envelope from my pocket. "What is that?" asked Phyllis. I turned over the back and showed it to her. "What do they mean?" "It is what I am going to do with my fortune," said I. I was holding out my vanity at arm's length and laughing at it silently.
He explained to me that he was going to Saint-Germain to pay an ordinary visit; that on this occasion there would be some change in the ceremonial; explained the matter, and enlarged with eagerness on the necessity of not abandoning legitimate rights. "How glad I am to see you think thus," I replied, "and how well you act in advocating these forms, the neglect of which tarnishes everything."
The breath that tarnishes the clear mirror of a noble damsel's name, says and teaches that social feeling, brings dishonour to a noble race; and she has failed in her duty to her race. But who could be injured by any light word spoken or light thought of such an one as poor Paolina? She was an "artist."
He was a man of genius and of instinctive magnanimity. In conversation he had no rival. His profound and witty sayings which have been transmitted to us are sufficient to form a volume. His one great and almost only fault sadly tarnishes his otherwise fair and honorable fame. In Henry commenced the reign of the house of Bourbon. For nearly two hundred years the family retained the crown.
"Ah well, you are slow to take things in; but you'll do it at last." "I am slow to take in this," said Stead. "Would you have me rob God?" "No, only the owls and the bats," said Emlyn. "If they are the better for the silver and gold under them! What good can it do to let it lie there and rot?" "Gold rots not!" growled Stead. "Tarnishes, spoils then!" said Emlyn pettishly.
It is the turn of the steel ribbon, an old watch spring rolled corkscrew fashion and furnished with a bit of tinder. With this simple lighted bait, the steel should take fire in a jar filled with my gas. And it does burn; it becomes a splendid firework, with cracklings and a blaze of sparks and a cloud of rust that tarnishes the jar.
And thus when an author has grace and power to perceive such a situation, no further motive or purpose is needed; indeed the addition of any such motive merely defames and tarnishes the quality of the divine gift. It is not to be pretended that all human beings have the gift of loving so.
