Then the loving and kind Father, having killed innumerable Egyptians, as the story relates, so terrorizes the minds of his other children in Egypt, that Pharaoh is finally convinced that he must allow the Chosen People to leave his domain.
The discipline and vigour of his understanding made him the least indulgent of judges to anything like charlatanry, and effectually prevented his unwillingness to let the smallest good element be lost, from degenerating into that weak kind of universalism which nullifies some otherwise good men.
He had never dreamed that that reputation could have come within a thousand miles of this part of the mountain desert. "You should have told me in the first place," he said with some anger, "that you knew me." "Mr. Donnegan, upon my honor, I never heard your name before my daughter uttered it." Donnegan waited soberly. "I despise charlatanry as much as the next man.
Not the least of the many evils which have flowed from the last hideous war in which Great Britain engaged evils which glass-eyed politicians have since been exploiting in the interests of their own charlatanry is the loss to scores of thousands of women in this country of the complemental manhood which was destroyed by wounds and more especially by disease in South Africa.

And I had come to be oppressed by what seemed to me the futility of art a pompous legerdemain, a consummate charlatanry that deceived not only its devotees but its practitioners.
