Again, it would be hard to give a reason why Royalty should not be allowed to possess bad sculpture. The pity is that the private taste of Royalty creates the public taste of the nation, and the public result of the gracious interest that the Queen was pleased to take in Mr. Edgar Boehm, is the disfigurement of London by several of the worst statues it is possible to conceive.
As she had no standard of comparison, Dinah fell into the snares that surround the provincial woman. If a Parisian woman's hips are too narrow or too full, her inventive wit and the desire to please help to find some heroic remedy; if she has some defect, some ugly spot, or small disfigurement, she is capable of making it an adornment; this is often seen; but the provincial woman never!
He slipped away smiling, half ironically, to himself. Lady Holme sat still. She had wrapped a white cloth cloak round her. She put up her hand to the disfigured side of her face, and touched it, trying to see its disfigurement as the blind see, by feeling. She kept her hand there, and her hand recognized ugliness vividly.
At this point some account of Lord Derby's personal appearance may be introduced. My impression is that he was only of the middle height, but quite free from the disfigurement of obesity; light in frame, and brisk in movement.

'I shouldn't so much mind it, said the younger, with hesitation, 'if if I hadn't a notion that it makes my husband dislike me no, love me less. Men think so much of personal appearance. 'Some do he for one. 'Yes; and he was very proud of mine, at first. 'Keep your arm covered from his sight. 'Ah he knows the disfigurement is there! She tried to hide the tears that filled her eyes.
The spirit of her people to-day is the spirit of sacrifice. The French character never before shone forth so nobly. "What a terrible disfigurement!" exclaimed a thoughtless lady as she visited the wounded in a great French hospital. "Not a disfigurement at all, madame," exclaimed the French soldier. "A decoration!" Out of this war may come great political and military heroes.

Ditcar the monk is called to see it, and to say whether it is that of Morvan; but he has to wash the mass of disfigurement, and to partially adjust the hair, before he can pronounce that it is really Morvan's.
