Few of us only have been aware of your infamous vices, the sloth of your intellect, your dulness, your inability to speak. When was your voice heard in the Forum? when has your counsel been put to the proof? when did you do any service either in peace or war?
It was not Fred's fault that his brother had made that mistake in life which he repented so bitterly. Bessie Christian's bridal veil, and white ribbons; her joyful face untouched with any pensive reminiscences; and the dead dulness of that house, into which foot of woman never entered, were not of Fred's doing; but passion is not reasonable. The doctor gave Fred credit unconsciously for the whole.
He found some slight compensations for the dulness of these evenings in certain manual exercises which always delight young men, and which his father enjoined upon him.
To pause, however, in this disquisition, which was carrying us far off Kingstown, New Molloyville, Ireland nay, into the wide world wherever Dulness inhabits let it be stated that Mrs. Haggarty, from my brief acquaintance with her and her mother, was of the order of persons just mentioned.
It was treason to appeal from God Immanent to God Transcendent; there was no God transcendent; God, so far as He could be known, was man. Yet these two, husband and wife after a fashion for they had entered into that terminable contract now recognised explicitly by the State these two were very far from sharing in the usual heavy dulness of mere materialists.

Still she held up, in spite of these rebuffs, and tried to make a character for herself and conquer scandal. She went to church very regularly and sang louder than anybody there.
I had written thus far to you about the things I had said to myself, when, in the midst of my tender thoughts and profound feelings about the dramatic connection of our embraces, a coarse and unpleasant occurrence interrupted me. I was just on the point of unfolding to you in clear and precise periods the exact and straightforward history of our frivolities and of my dulness.
The enemy had extorted from his dulness or his drunkenness a promise, which his mature and sober reason could not consider binding. It is needless to say that Champagny rebuked him for signing, and applauded him for breaking the treaty. At the same time its ill effects were already seen in the dissensions which existed among the German troops.
To escape ineffable dulness is the privilege of the lunatic; the lunatic, who is the true aristocrat of nature the unique man in a tower of ivory, the elect, who, in samite robes, traverses moody gardens.
