Still, I will acknowledge that the introduction of such fossil instances appears to me wisely thrown in as affects their antecedent probability, because ignorant comments upon scriptural cosmogony have raised the absurdest objections against the truth of scriptural science. There is not a tittle of known geological fact, which is not absolutely reconcilable with Genesis and Job.

And can you mention, beyond that, one tittle of evidence of any kind?" Sydney shrugged his shoulders. "We are not considering evidence as you know very well. We are talking as two men of the world, quite competent to draw the right deduction from admitted facts.

"'Tis a grave matter that there be any in England whose faith takes precedence of their loyalty," said he, the King ceasing his harangue through lack of breath. "Thou sayest rightly!" cried he, "nor will I abate one jot or tittle from that I have set before me.

No words from him, no desire to see his joy, as he would be joyful, if I told him that I could give him all he asks, no longing for all his love could do for me, shall move me one tittle.

Indeed, indeed, there is charm in every period, and only fools and flutterpates do not seek reverently for what is charming in their own day. No martyrdom, however fine, nor satire, however splendidly bitter, has changed by a little tittle the known tendency of things.
