But as surely as the cadet drinks too much pale ale, it will disagree with him; and so surely, dear youth, will too much novels cloy on thee. I wonder, do novel-writers themselves read many novels?
Now, while I dearly love the poets, and always long to enrich my plain prose with gems from their verse, it is sometimes a little embarrassing, because one is obliged to disagree with them. If they would only look a little into the ways of birds, and not assert, in language so musical that one can hardly resist it, that "The birds come back to last year's nests,"
'No, I'll look first, she said, 'and see whether it's marked "poison" or not'; for she had read several nice little histories about children who had got burnt, and eaten up by wild beasts and other unpleasant things, all because they WOULD not remember the simple rules their friends had taught them: such as, that a red-hot poker will burn you if you hold it too long; and that if you cut your finger VERY deeply with a knife, it usually bleeds; and she had never forgotten that, if you drink much from a bottle marked 'poison, it is almost certain to disagree with you, sooner or later.
Poe in his opinions of the objects of art. He esteems that object to be the creation of Beauty, and perhaps it is only in the definition of that word that we disagree with him. But in what we shall say of his writings, we shall take his own standard as our guide.
Cayle's, said I; 'and, by the same token, it was a Friday, I remember it well, may be you didn't pitch into the salt cod? I hope it didn't disagree with you? "'I beg to repeat, sir, that you are under a mistake, said he. "'May be so, indeed, said I. 'May be you're not Colonel M'Manus at all; may be you wasn't in a passion for losing seven-and-sixpence at loo with Mrs.
Few honourable men will disagree with him in these complaints, although many contemporaries obstinately refused to believe that the crafty and experienced diplomatist could have so carelessly left about his most important archives. He was generally thought by those who had most dealt with him, to prefer, on principle, a crooked path to a straight one.
Well now kindly lay down for me, how I am to disagree with you about Philip. For I do disagree with you, profoundly." "There it is. Profoundly that shows how you enjoy disagreeing. Why can't you put yourself at my point of view?" "Well, I'll try. But at least explain it to me." Helena threw herself into a garden chair, under a wild cherry which rose a pyramid of silver against an orange sky.
Up on deck clutching at life-lines or anything else secure one could wonder at the strength of the ship as she rode on the crest of a wave and then plunged to the depths of a trough; crew members rated them as 40-foot waves and we didn't disagree with them.

Effie Vessunt. Rather bright and sparkling, what?" "At any rate, I can see her." "You can, even with the naked eye. But I say, you know, she really is rather superior. She'll have to have her meals with us." "If I engage her, she will feed in the kitchen." "Mabel, must you always disagree with me? Have you no spirit of compromise? Can't you meet me half way in a little thing like this?"
