And that man a-inter-meddlin' with me! Ef," continued the voice, dropped to a tone of hopeless moral conviction, "ef there's a man I mor'aly despise it's that finikin' Jim Bradley." "You quite misunderstand me, my dear sir," said Sir Robert's hurried voice; "he told me you had pledged him to secrecy, and he only revealed it to explain why you wished to see me."
Yea, and when the servants brought a bowl, I thought it was a wholesome draught of spring water after all their hot wines and fripperies. Pah!" "The rose-water, Ebbo! No wonder they laughed! Why, the bowls for our fingers came round at the banquet here." "Ah! thou hast eyes for their finikin manners! Yet what know they of what we used to long for in polished life!

'Don't you hate such nonsense, Miss May? 'I can't love order as much as I honour it. Set tastes aside.
The chisel, whatever efforts it may make and however laboriously it may be applied, cannot impress on such material the strong and bold touches which indicate the osseous structure, and make the muscles and the veins show themselves under the epidermis in Greek statuary. The sculptor's work is apt to be at once finikin and lax; it wants breadth, and it wants decision.
