'There is no kind of impertinence more justly censurable than his who is always labouring to level thoughts to intellects higher than his own; who apologises for every word which his own narrowness of converse inclines him to think unusual; keeps the exuberance of his faculties under visible restraint; is solicitous to anticipate inquiries by needless explanations; and endeavours to shade his own abilities lest weak eyes should be dazzled with their lustre. The Rambler, No. 173.
Consider what Homer's 'Odyssey' would be, reduced into an analysis. The editor of the 'Letters of Columbus' apologises for the rudeness of the old seaman's phraseology. Columbus, he tells us, was not so great a master of the pen as of the art of navigation. We are to make excuses for him.
He hates getting angry I expect he had a bad temper once and he apologises afterwards; but it's no use it's like a thunderstorm apologising to a tree which has been struck. I don't think he knows his strength. He believes himself to be sensitive and weak-willed I have heard him say so.
Situation of Affairs in Flanders. Peace Brought About by Duc d'Alencon's Negotiation. Marechal de Biron Apologises for Firing on Nerac. Henri Desperately in Love with Fosseuse. Queen Marguerite Discovers Fosseuse to Be Pregnant, Which She Denies. Fosseuse in Labour. Marguerite's Generous Behaviour to Her. Marguerite's Return to Paris.
She means well, but she is liable to forget that a stiff-limbed bachelor of fifty prefers quiet to strenuous sports. One morning during the second week of my last holiday Kitty came down late for breakfast. She is often late for breakfast and she never apologises. I daresay she is right. Most of us are late for breakfast, when we are late, because we are lazy and stay too long in bed.
He is a placid enlightened professor, whose real good feeling and frequent shrewdness should not be overlooked in consequence of the rather desultory and often superficial mode of reasoning. This, however, suggests a final remark upon Stewart's position. In the preface to his Active and Moral Powers Stewart apologises for the large space given to the treatment of Natural Religion.
Henry VIII., Elizabeth, and William III. are his monsters; the Marys of England and Scotland his ideal martyrs. He almost apologises for the massacre of St. Bartholomew and the Gunpowder Plot; and, in spite of his patriotism, attributes the defeat of the Armada to a storm, for fear of praising Elizabeth.
Vopiscus, the last of the six authors, apologises, in drawing the work to a close, for his slender literary power, and expresses the hope that his material at least may be found useful to some "eloquent man who may wish to unlock the actions of princes."
To be talked to in that way by anyone even by Tom is more than my flesh and blood can stand. And so we parted it was at Ravenna, an old Italian city and of course I did what I said, and from that day to this we have not exchanged a line, nor ever shall until he apologises for his words.
If he apologises for having made a disturbance in the temple, and promises not to offend again, a fine, and a few days' imprisonment, will meet the case, and he may be discharged." "I see, I see," said Hanky very angrily. "You are determined to get this man off if you can." "I shall act," said George, "in accordance with sworn evidence, and not otherwise.
