A man whose manners and sentiments are decidedly below those of his class deserves to be called a blackguard. But it is surely unfair to apply so strong a word of reproach to one who is only what the great mass of every community must inevitably be.
That was quite a different matter! The very thought of it made Peter very, very angry. When he thought of this other Rabbit, it was always as the stranger. That shows just how unfair Peter was, because, you see, Peter himself was really the stranger. It was his first visit to the Old Pasture, while it was very plain that the other had lived there for some time.
"Fie, Oliver," spoke up Pamela with unusual fire, "Betty is as loyal as you or I, and you are unfair to tax her because she heartily disapproves of your course in regard to Captain Yorke's detention after the signal service he has rendered to all us Wolcotts."
Not shaken by this reply, which cannot be called unfair, and which, notwithstanding its jocoseness, was exactly the answer which the gravest divine would have made to such scruples, the witness persisted in his position; and on being permitted to give evidence in his own peculiar way, he had enough influence with the jury to induce them to give a verdict adverse to Erskine's wishes.
We shall all be changed soon, I suppose, and George and I will take to keeping a little cottage in the country." "Kate," said Alice, angrily, "I think you are about the most unjust person I ever met. I would forgive your raillery, however painful it might be, if it were only fair." "And to whom is it unfair on the present occasion; to your father?" "It was not intended for him." "To yourself?"

They call themselves Calabrians. Noi siamo calabresi! they proudly say, meaning that they are above suspicion of unfair dealing. As a matter of fact, they are a muddled brood, and considerably given to cheating when there is any prospect of success.
She caught her breath sharply. Her lips went suddenly white, and her look became a trifle wild. I watched her keenly. "Mr. Swift!" she presently whispered, in dismay. "How unfair!" "I do not mean to be unfair," I tried to make clear; but she cut me short. "Are you trying to prepare me for for the worst?" "Gracious, no!" I expostulated, with an embarrassed laugh.
It might be very hard, it might be even unfair treatment she could not tell; but there must be something to explain it something to show it not altogether the monstrous thing it seemed! I do not say she reasoned thus, but her genius reasoned thus for her. Of course it must be the same thing that made him take to the garret and hide there!
"Every vessel that goes through to Suez has to pay a round sum for the privilege." "Do all ships have to pay the same amount?" "Certainly not; for that would be very unfair. They pay by the ton; and every vessel carries a register, in which her tonnage is given. The Guardian-Mother's is 624 tons.
