Now this was not Roscoe's fault; he could not help it. He had merely gone the way of all the men who learned navigation before him. By an understandable and forgivable confusion of values, plus a loss of orientation, he felt weighted by responsibility, and experienced the possession of power that was like unto that of a god. All his life Roscoe had lived on land, and therefore in sight of land.
The old romance looked clean and fair compared to this the old lover, boyish and forgivable. He had not won by preaching.... Where was the Shadowy Sister now? There was no quarter for Beth. She was a modern product, a twentieth century woman, an angry, solitary, world-trained woman, who could not make a concession to imperfect manhood. This was the key to all her agonies.
The dear woman, she knew he had talent; and if affection made her over-estimate the size of it a little, surely it was a sweet and gentle crime, and forgivable for its source's sake. The celebration went off well. The friends were all present, both the young and the old.
"But the party will grow riper with age," and Shirley was prone to continue the autopsy. "You are a university man. Where did you study?" "Sipping here and there," and a forgivable vanity lightened Warren's face. "Gottingen, Warsaw, Jena, Oxford, Milan, The Sorbonne and even at Heidelberg, the jolly old place. You see my scar?"
Southey's History of the Peninsular War is now dead, but if any of my readers has a copy on his highest shelves, I would venture to ask him to take down the third volume, and read the concluding pages, of which Coleridge used to say that they were the finest specimen of historic eulogy he had ever read in English, adding with forgivable hyperbole, that they were more to the Duke's fame and glory than a campaign.
He branded the idiots with even stronger titles, the while he continued to follow their example. Surely it was a forgivable sin to be conspicuously attractive; to stand out, vivid and dazzling, from the surrounding throng, whose chief characteristics seemed to be a bleached inanity, and indifference... Guest stood in the shadow, his deep-set eyes fixed on the girl with unblinking scrutiny.
But though emotion choked him he played his part gallantly. He was the boy of old days to the very life, swaggering a little in a youthful forgivable conceit, playing the lord of creation to an amused, sympathetic audience. "Ned," he cried at last, flinging his words from him with all the old frank ease, "tell me to apologize!"
"If only I could get rid of these damned laced boots!" Bad words would have been forgivable even had he not been a sailor. He missed her, groped desperately, to the verge of suffocation, and came up to cough, and groan, and pump breath enough to take him down again. It would have cost five minutes to get his clothes off, and there was not a single second to spare now. "See her?" he shrieked.
That's a commonplace, isn't it? Yet a woman's sin should be the more forgivable. She sins because it is the man; he sins because it is a woman." "Sin!" said Ishmael.
You are conscious of a great capacity for feeling jealous, a capacity which has never yet had its full fling?" said the girl. "Yes," he said. And his lips were smiling, but there was a serious look in his eyes. And they discussed the causes of jealousy. "We shall see it to-night on the stage in its professional form," said Craven. "And that is the least forgivable form," said Lady Sellingworth.
