Continue to write me from Paris, but let me tell you that I am not pleased with the bitterness of your letters a bitterness unworthy of my philosophic tutor of the happy bygone days at Vevay. I wish my true love to see all things clearly, and to be the just and honest man I have always deemed him not a cynic who seeks a sorry comfort in misfortune by carping at the rest of mankind.
How much better she had liked him, even in his victory of the evening, than in the carping sarcastic mood of the afternoon! In spite of gayety and expectation, however, she felt her courage fail her a little as she left her room and ventured out into the big populous house.
Here Creed shewed me a copy of some propositions, which Bland and others, in the name of the Corporation of Tangier, did present to Norwood, for his opinion in, in order to the King's service, which were drawn up very humbly, and were really good things; but his answer to them was in the most shitten proud, carping, insolent, and ironically-prophane stile, that ever I saw in my life, so as I shall never think the place can do well, while he is there.
Some few people were disappointed that he had not explained exactly what and whom he meant by right and by wrong; but these carping murmurs were drowned in the general acclaim.
The title of this once-considered lucubration is far too suggestive to carping minds of more than the much that it means, to be without objection: nevertheless, I did begin, and therefore, always under shelter of a domino, and protesting against any who would move my mask, I confess to
She is too disdainful; her spirits are as coy as wild birds of the rock. 'But are you sure, said Ursula, 'that Benedick loves Beatrice so entirely?

'Certainly, replied Ursula, 'it were not good she knew his love, lest she made sport of it. 'Why, to say truth, said Hero, 'I never yet saw a man, how wise soever, or noble, young, or rarely featured, but she would dispraise him. 'Sure, sure, such carping is not commendable, said Ursula.
They cooked by ear. And perhaps they still do. If so, may Heaven bless and preserve them! Some carping critics may contend that our grandfathers and grandmothers lacked the proper knowledge of how to serve a meal in courses. Let 'em. Let 'em carp until they're as black in the face as a German carp. For real food never yet needed any vain pomp and circumstance to make it attractive.
The last satire of this book is a severe one on the clergy of the church of Rome. He terms it POMH-PYMH, by which we suppose he intended to brand Roma, as the Sink of Superstition. He observes, if Juvenal, whom he calls Aquine's carping spright, were now alive, among other surprising alterations at Rome,
To his thinking, public virtue consisted in carping at men high placed, in abusing ministers and judges and bishops and especially in finding out something for which they might be abused. His own public virtue was in this matter very great, for it was he who had ferreted out the secret. For his intelligence and energy in that matter the country owed him much.
When she arose from her knees the gates were closed; the way was dark; she was alone alone in a little quibbling, carping village, where tired folks worked and gossiped, ate, drank, slept. Her home was pleasant, to be sure, but man is a citizen of the world, not of a house. Jane Austen began to write to write about these village people.
