'Who could it be? But 'the pace, as Nimrod used to say, 'was too good to inquire. A little farther on, and Sponge drew upon the great guns of the hunt the men who ride to hounds, and not after them; the same who had criticized him through the fence Mr. Wake, Mr. Fossick, Parson Blossomnose, Mr. Fyle, Lord Scamperdale, Jack himself, and others.
Whatever might be said about Arnold's political ethics, few have criticized his command performance with small forces. He was initially aided in Virginia by Jefferson's caution which left Nelson's militia only half-mobilized. The only other force was a small Continental regiment under Steuben.
Mary Paynham's portrait of Mrs. Warwick hung staring over the fireplace, and was criticized, as though its occupancy of that position had no significance. 'He thinks she has a streak of genius, Diana said to Emma. 'It may be shown in time, Emma replied, for a comment on the work. 'He should know, for the Spanish pictures are noble acquisitions.

Bert was particularly pessimistic, and muttered dark hints of an impending strike in the railroad shops. "If you'd all shut your traps, it'd be all right," Mary criticized. "These union agitators get the railroad sore. They give me the cramp, the way they butt in an' stir up trouble. If I was boss I'd cut the wages of any man that listened to them."
Johnson's account of his friend did not fill his pocket, but must have contributed something to his fame as it was very favourably criticized. It was the occasion of Reynolds first becoming acquainted with his name.
The nearest approach to this was perhaps to be found in the much discussed Government B.E.2 machine, which was produced from the Royal Aircraft Factory at Farnborough, in the summer of 1912. Though considerably criticized from many points of view it was perhaps the nearest approach to a machine of all-round efficiency that had up to that date appeared.
