When Scotland was herself, and had her own king and legislature, such plebeian cubs, instead of being called to the bar of her supreme courts, would scarce have been admitted to the honour of bearing a sheepskin process-bag. Alan, I could not bear this, but answered indignantly, that he knew not the worth and honour from which he was detracting.
In front of the French the Germans had smaller forces of artillery on the plain where the bend of the Somme was at their backs. This is not detracting from the French success, which was complete and masterful.
But these things do not exist in like proportions.

This was, in fact, true without detracting from her reverence in either case. The Osborns were breakfasting in their unpleasant sitting-room in Duke Street when Lady Walderhurst's letter arrived.
The dramatist in constructing his story is hedged in by a multitude of physical restrictions, of which he must make a special study in order to force them to contribute to the presentation of his truth instead of detracting from it. In this regard, again, the novelist works with greater freedom. Seldom is his labor subjected to merely physical restrictions from without.
