One perfectly qualified for the office it is desirable, but not possible, to find. A dispassionate and honest zeal in the cause of duty and humanity may be of eminent utility. Am I not endowed with this zeal? Cannot my feeble efforts obviate some portion of this evil? No one has hitherto claimed this disgustful and perilous situation.
But let naval officers remember, that the officer who fights is the officer of the nation. Nelson's maxim is unanswerable "The captain cannot be mistaken who lays his ship alongside the enemy." This, too, was a period of cabinet revolutions. No favouritism can sustain a ministry which has become disgustful to the nation.
"They seem very fierce," said Miss Cardigan; "to judge by what they say." "And do," added Thorold. "I think there is a sort of madness in Southern blood!" He spoke with a manner of disgustful emphasis. I looked up at him, to see an expression quite in keeping with his words. Miss Cardigan cried out, "Hey, lad! Ye're confident, surely, to venture your opinions so plainly and so soon!"
"As it entails being enrolled among the blind and lame," he says, smiling sarcastically, and flushing a little, "I am afraid I shall never get there." A moment ago I had felt hardly less than sisterly toward him. Now I look at him with a disgustful and disapprobative eye.
Fletcher would be disgustful almost in any other. An ordinary Christian, for example, who, when he was having his likeness taken, should exhort 'the limner, and all that were in the room, not only to get the outlines drawn, but the colourings also of the image of Jesus on their hearts; who, 'when ordered to be let blood, should, 'while his blood was running into the cup, take occasion to expatiate on the precious blood-shedding of the Lamb of God; who should tell his cook 'to stir up the fire of divine love in her soul, and intreat his housemaid 'to sweep every corner in her heart; who, when he received a present of a new coat, should, in thanking the donor, draw a minute and elaborate contrast between the broadcloth and the robe of Christ's righteousness would run the risk of making not only himself, but the sacred subjects which he desired to recommend, ridiculous.
It was an infernal shame, because I knew Harris of the Ghuznees would be covering that ground three months later, and he'd snaffle all the chaps I had my eyes on. Everybody was down on the Naick, because they felt he ought to have had the decency to postpone his his disgustful amours till our companies were full strength. "Still the beast had a certain amount of professional feeling left.
This was a feeling quite new to me; and if there were virtues in the robes of the illustrious foreigner, who had without all dispute preserved my life at this time: I say, if there was any inherent virtue in these robes of his, as he had suggested, this was one of their effects' that they turned my heart towards that which was evil, horrible, and disgustful.
Were I capable of giving a hope I meant not to enlarge, then could I say, I would consider of your kind advice. But I would rather be thought perverse than insincere. Is there, however, no medium? Can nothing be thought of? Will nothing do, but to have a man who is the more disgustful to me, because he is unjust in the very articles he offers? Whom now, Clary, said my sister, do you reflect upon?
On the contrary, nothing is more disgustful than that initial step of the minuet, when auckwardly executed. It gives such an ill impression as is not easily removed by even a good performance in the remaining part of the dance.
It is sincerely to be lamented, that whilst we are fatigued with the disgustful relation of Nero's crimes and follies, we are reduced to collect the actions of Trajan from the glimmerings of an abridgment, or the doubtful light of a panegyric. There remains, however, one panegyric far removed beyond the suspicion of flattery.
