Of the Quaifes and the Scottons and the Barlows I have nothing but dreary memories. They do not mean cricket to me. And even Shrewsbury and Hayward left me cold. They were too faultily faultless, too icily regular for my taste. They played cricket not as though it was a game, but as though it was a proposition in Euclid. And I don't like Euclid.
It is not the mind but the heart that, at such moments, gives to the tongue its noblest eloquence. The prayer that moves Omnipotence to pity, and summons all the hosts of heaven to help, is not the prayer of nicely rounded periods Faultily faultless, icily regular, splendidly null but the prayer of passionate entreaty.
"That red hanky on his massive brow gives the touch of color he needed," said Margaret. "We don't maintain that his features are 'faultily faultless," quoted Roger, "but we do insist that they're 'icily regular." "Thanks to the size of the nose Ethel Blue stuck on they're not 'splendidly null." "No, there's no 'nullness' about that nose," agreed James. "That's 'some' nose!"
Vasishtha, the son of that Manu who sprung from the eyes of Brahma, came to that sacrifice and addressing me, said, 'O foremost of regenerate persons, the Rathantara is not being recited properly by thee. O best of Brahmanas, cease to earn demerit by reading so faultily, and with the aid of thy understanding do thou read the Samans correctly.
And as he who is loudest in demanding liberty for himself is sternest in denying it to others, you may confidently go to the Maison Vaillant, or the Mosthaus, for a flawless example of the iron hand. Laws of the State are as faulty and as faultily administered as those of the Family.
And I hold it likely that the severities they still maintain are no whit more useful than those they have abolished. But men are cruel. Come away, Tournebroche, my dear lad; it grieves me to think how unhappy prisoners are even now lying awake behind those walls in anguish and despair. I know they have done faultily, but this doth not hinder me from pitying them. Which of us is without offence?"
He had imagined love such as this for some stately woman whose walk was upon the heights of mind some great artist some glorious sovereign of culture. Instead of that, a simple girl who lived by her needle, who spoke faultily. And he loved her with the love which comes to a man but once. The evening came at last.
If you desire it, I can in one line of Tennyson photograph her proud beauty, as I saw her mounted on her favourite horse, the week that I left home "'Faultily faultless, icily regular, splendidly null!" He laid the drawing back in the open portfolio, crossed the room, and took up his hat. "Where are you going, Russell? Can't you spend the evening with me at Aunt Ruth's?"
She threw cadence and monotony to the four winds of heaven, or rather to the four corners of the stage, and spoke with the earnestness of one inspired. Porter was tall, fair, well-shaped, and easy and dignified in action. But she was not handsome, and her voice had a small degree of tremor. Moreover, she imitated, or, rather, faultily exceeded, Mrs.
"Yes, there must be, or God wouldn't create some of the women he makes." "True!" said John, very gallantly. "But don't you think, Mr. March, a man of that sort is apt to love prematurely and very faultily? His best fruit doesn't fall first. Haven't you observed that a man's first love is just what a woman finds it hardest to take in earnest?" "Yes, I have observed that!
