"I think," said Basil, in the same heavy monotone as before, "that I did not make myself clear. When I said that I thought nothing of him I meant grammatically what I said. I meant that I did not think about him; that he did not occupy my mind. You, however, seem to me to think a lot of him, since you think him a knave. I should say he was glaringly good myself."
"Ah! sir," cried the young schoolmaster, beaming gratitude from his whole surface, "I I" he smote his breast, "I would reimburst her in good citizen' and mother' of good citizen'! And both reading, writing, and also ciphering, arithmeticulating, in the English tongue, and grammatically! But enter and investigate." A hush fell upon the school and the audience beyond it as the two men came in.
Up to this time he had not made a study of grammar, but he realized that if he were to speak in public he must learn to speak grammatically. He had no grammar, and did not know where to get one. In this dilemma he consulted the schoolmaster of New Salem, who told him where and from whom he could borrow a copy of Kirkham's Grammar. The place named was six miles from New Salem.
The consequence was, that when this young girl entered France, a bride, at fifteen years of age, she knew next to nothing, and though she took some pains, she never learned to spell well in French, or to write grammatically, even after she declared that she had forgotten her native language German. She was very clever, notwithstanding. She had a strong, firm, and decided mind.
I know how you must feel it; but parents in the position that yours were in should send their children to service before they are too old for the necessary training." "My parents done the best they could to keep their home together," protested the girl, in a choking voice. "Speak grammatically, my dear. No doubt your parents did as you say, but my point is, that they forgot their position.
I remember vividly the sound of his tread as he tramped up and down his room, dictating to my mother or sister, who took down his words in shorthand and found it hard to keep pace with him. Even his ordinary conversation might have been put into print with scarcely a correction, and was as polished and grammatically perfect as his finished writing. The flow of talk was no doubt at times excessive.
The word 'replace' is less aggressive in its signification, and more grammatically suitable, as M. de Voiture would say. I presume, therefore, that you are ambitious of replacing M. Fouquet." "M. Fouquet's fortune, madame, enables him to withstand all attempts. The superintendent in this age plays the part of the Colossus of Rhodes; the vessels pass beneath him and do not overthrow him."
Logically Bismarck never left a sentence incomplete, but grammatically he often did so when the wealth of ideas qualifying his main thought had grown to greater proportions than he had anticipated. His diction was at all times precise, which led to a multiplicity of qualifications adjectives, appositions, adverbs, parentheses, and the like.
Here is the present tense, 'I hypocrise, Thou hypocrisest, He hypocrises: We hypocrise, You hypocrise, They hypocrise. Now hear the future. 'I shall hypocrise, Thou shalt hypocrise, He shall hypocrise; We shall hypocrise, You shall hypocrise, They shall hypocrise. There is the whole art of Jesuitry for you, made grammatically perfect!"
Grammatically, we are driven to recognise that the Revised Version is more correct than the Authorised, when it reads 'every family, instead of 'the whole family. There is in the expression no reference to the thought, however true it is in itself, that the redeemed in heaven and the believers on earth make up but one family.
