To put it plainly, Miss Halcombe and I have been talking over family affairs affairs which are the cause of my being here and in the course of our conversation she was naturally led to tell me of this unpleasant matter connected with the anonymous letter, and of the share which you have most creditably and properly taken in the proceedings so far.
This happily had the effect of stirring up his pride, and made him resolve to strive to do his part creditably. At the door of the hut two dark figures glided swiftly in before him. One he could perceive was Angut; the other he thought looked very like the Kablunet "Ridroonee."
"And do you know," he added, with a smile, "they make these things so well now that one can scarcely tell a false foot from a real one, with joint and moveable instep, and toes that work with springs, so that people can walk with them quite creditably indeed they can; I do not jest, I assure you."
The old Castle of Dalhousie potius Dalwolsey was mangled by a fellow called, I believe, Douglas, who destroyed, as far as in him lay, its military and baronial character, and roofed it after the fashion of a poor-house. The architect, Burn, is now restoring and repairing in the old taste, and I think creditably to his own feeling. God bless the roof-tree!
The lesson to be drawn from these facts seems to be that the Republic can be greatly served by rich and poor alike, but has oftenest been served creditably by men who were neither rich nor poor.
Those who had gone through a three or four years' course of theology creditably had a distinct right to a post of some dignity, and took rank immediately after those priests of the order who had celebrated their jubilee, and before all conventuals who had an inferior record as to studies. The faithful discharge of offices for a prolonged period was also rewarded by honourable recognition.
This was no easy task, in view of the fact that a heavy increase in the rate of taxation was thus made necessary, for the time being at least. That this important work was splendidly, creditably, and economically done no fair-minded person who is familiar with the facts will question or dispute.
The true student of human nature should not find it surprising that she spoiled Honora and strove at what secret expense, care, and self-denial to Uncle Tom and herself, none will ever know to adorn the child that she might appear creditably among companions whose parents were more fortunate in this world's goods; that she denied herself to educate Honora as these other children were educated.
“And now,” he continued, turning to Twiddel, “you, doctor, seem to me a most unfortunately constructed biped; your nose is just long enough to enable you to be led into a singularly original adventure, and your brains just too few to carry it through creditably. Hang me if I wouldn’t have made a better job of the business!
They are a pretty musical body got through their business ever so creditably; but they are rather short of that which most choirs are deficient in tenor power.
