'What a delightful thing it would be, said the Duke of St. James, 'if, throughout life, we might always choose our crew; cull the beauties, and banish the bores. 'But that is impossible, said Lord Darrell. 'Every ornament of society is counterbalanced by some accompanying blur.
The perfection of workmanship did not appear to interest them so much as the size of the bores; they thrust their fingers down each muzzle, until they at last came to the "Baby," when, finding that two fingers could be easily introduced, they at once fell in love with that rifle in particular.
I've only waited for an opportunity to say it." "We've both scored," he said. "You can't take away what you've given, and that's a lot to be thankful for but but " "Well?" "I'm dependent for my bread and butter on a woman who bores me to death, and have to look to a family for any odd jobs I may get a family that, whatever they may do for me, I should always despise.
Peering into the future he wrote: "When that day comes the models of literary excellence will not be the long and windy sentences of accredited bores, but ample brevities, such as the 'N' on Napoleon's tomb, in which, in less than a syllable, an epoch, and the glory of it, is resumed." Saltus forsakes his previous choice from Bellini and installs Tu che a Dio as his favourite Italian opera air.
Rather than excite his suspicions I did not even yield to curiosity, and try to draw out a description. I could not be sure then that I should ever see you, or my people, for escape was difficult and there were more chances against than for my getting out of Germany alive. I will begin on a new sheet the story of the last few months since my capture. You must forgive me if it bores you.
"I don't know why and I doubt if he knows either but I truly and honestly believe he's the happiest man I've ever met. Perhaps," she concluded with a quick return to her shallow wit, "it's because he doesn't divide his waking hours between dressmakers and bridge whist." "But why do you if it bores you so," protested Kemper, "I'd be hanged before I'd do it in your place."
What d'you think, Katharine? Shall we give a little party in complete darkness? There'd have to be bright rooms for the bores...." Here Mr. Denham held out his hand. "But we've any number of things to show you!" Mrs. Hilbery exclaimed, taking no notice of it. I dare say you'll write a poem of your own while you're waiting. Ah, how I love the firelight! Doesn't our room look charming?"
The "classes" are poor and needy, as well as the "masses:" read Mozley's "University Sermon" on "Our Duty to our Equals," and learn to see that they also need a stretched-out hand. We may be very kind in our district; are we as kind to social bores?
The countess gathered around her the elite of Florentine society; she selected her friends and acquaintances as carefully as she selected her dresses, jewels, and flowers. She refused to know "bores" and "nobodies"; her lady friends must be pretty, piquant, or fashionable, any gentleman admitted into her charmed circle must have genius, wit, or talent to recommend him.
Cultivate, feed, prune, spray, dig bores, fight mice, rabbits, aphides, and the thousand other enemies to trees and fruit, and do these things all the time and then keep on doing them, and you will win out. Omit all or any of them, and the chances are that you will fail of big returns. But orcharding is not unique in this.
