'Among the many blessings I enjoy, my dear father, my admirable mother, my tried and excellent friends, there is nothing for which I ought to thank God so earnestly as for the constitutional buoyancy of spirits, the aptness to hope, the will to be happy WHICH I INHERIT FROM MY FATHER, she writes. Was ever filial piety so irritating as hers?
"Yes; it would not be easy, but with your aptness and your trend of mind, and your ability to study long and hard, you could, with the assistance of the Spirit of God, accomplish wonders by the time you are as old as I." The young man mildly protested, although the vision of what might be thrilled his being. "Don't forget what I am telling you, Dorian.
Her mental activity was evinced not more in the cunning aptness of her songs than in the droll wisdom of her sayings. Not the melody only, but the often audacious, epigrammatic philosophy of her tongue as well, sold her calas and gingercakes. But in one direction her wisdom proved scant. She presumed too much on her insignificance.
"And however like a nun you've lived you can't deny that you love me." "You haven't loved me," Amabel at last could say. He paused, but only for a moment.

Pamela answered, indeed, she thought she had cause; but it was an instance of Mr Booby's aptness to see more beauty in women than they were mistresses of.
He detested a chopped, jerky style, that into which the French are prone to fall. Certain it is, and from obvious causes, that much of the secret of style lies in aptness of sequence, thought and word, through an irresistible impulsion and pertinence, leaping forth nimbly, each taking its place promptly, because naturally and necessarily.
Riley has a ready wit, a quickness and aptness at selecting and applying quotations, and a countenance that is as solemn and as blank as the back side of a tombstone when he is delivering a particularly exasperating joke.
People to whom that country was strange, and that included nearly all of them, looked to him for advice, and regarded with admiration and wonder his aptness in answering everything. Agnes was doubtful of the future, in spite of her big, brave talk to Dr. Slavens in the days before the drawing.
As, therefore, I said to the great sinner before, let him take heed lest he presume; I say now to the little sinner, let him take heed that he do not dissemble; for there is as great an aptness in the little sinner to dissemble, as there is in the great one. Eighth, Would Jesus Christ have mercy offered, in the first place, to the biggest sinners?
