These, however, are trifles mere spots on the sun one might say, were but the surface on which they appear altogether sunlike and I leave them without additional remark except that, although it may perhaps have been hypercritical to point them out, still the language of a new philosophy, claiming to supersede all old ones, ought to be proof even against hypercriticism.
He looked ruefully at his snowballs; perhaps after all he had been hypercritical, perhaps one or two of those pages might be rescued and smoothed out and made to answer. After all, who else would be the better or the worse for it?
That is Tahitian for bravo, and I saw a look in Hallman's face that recalled the story by the Englishman of the jungle trail. He was always intent on his pursuit. Was I hypercritical? There was Leung Kai Chu with the sharks, and the nature man left behind!
You think that this is taking syllabub seriously, and that the circumstances of the time had made the Easy Chair hypercritical. No; it was only that there comes a time in theatre-going when the boxes are more interesting than the stage. The mimic life fades before the real.
"Indeed! you are quite honored. He is considered very fastidious." "He is certainly hypercritical, yet I have found him kind and gentlemanly, even courteous.

"I guess that's so, Susan." Miss Dorothy's eyes were twinkling now. "And, by the way, where is Mr. Burton? I haven't seen him yet." "He ain't here." "You don't mean he has gone out of town?"
It was the characteristic hypercritical attitude of the newly-arrived Englishman; and George, knowing that the Canadians strongly resent it, noticed a look of interest in the eyes of a girl standing near them.

And the only possible objections to marriage from a grandfather's point of view badness of character, insufficient means, or inferiority of social position were in this case gloriously absent.
