In his manuscripts there were so many erasures, and such frequent interlineations that a special staff of compositors was used for his work, but this was not on account of any illegibility in his handwriting.
In all alike there is a singular lack of formality, or even of orderliness, and they might have passed between business colleagues, who were on terms of close intimacy and easy familiarity. Clarendon's tone is almost uniformly brusque and off-hand, and he must have tried the King's patience terribly by the infamous illegibility of his handwriting.
Said Gwen, when she had finished: "Well, that seems to me very plain and straightforward. And as for illegibility, I know many worse hands than 'Re's." "What's that word three lines down?... Yes, that one!" "'Dreaming." "I thought it was 'drinking." "It certainly is 'dreaming' plain enough!" "What do you make of it? Don't read it all through. Tell me the upshot." "I don't mind reading it.
What moment of softness in the life of a hard old man did this flower commemorate?... A letter whose ink was faded to illegibility! Even Solon Beatty had once known the rose-leaf scent of romance. "Nothing there," said Bob.
What do you think of my becoming an author, and relying for support upon my pen? Indeed, I think the illegibility of my handwriting is very author-like. How proud you would feel to see my works praised by the reviewers, as equal to the proudest productions of the scribbling sons of John Bull! But authors are always poor devils, and therefore Satan may take them.
"That's next week's," said Madeline. "I thought I'd do them both while I was at it. But this week's is funnier." "This week's" proved to be an absurd incident founded upon the illegibility of Henry Ward Beecher's handwriting. It was cleverly told, but the cream of its humor lay in the fact that Madeline's writing, if not so bad as Mr. Beecher's, was certainly bad enough.
I wish to go to Brandon Monday, but do not know that I can accomplish it. Until leaving Richmond, my whole time was taken up by the august court, so that I could do nothing nor see anybody there. Mildred was all life, in white and curls. I am staying at General Mahone's and have got hold of one of his needlepens, with which I can do nothing. Excuse illegibility.
I don't mind contributing ten signatures to start it, if twelve other writers, of equal eminence and illegibility, will guarantee a like amount. What profits it to woo the thankless Muse, or to appeal to the autograph-huntress?
Drupe's letter of complaint to the flame, and it was presently reduced to everlasting illegibility. The opening sentences of Miss Braddon are enough to show how important a thing a head of hair is in the getting up of a heroine for the popular market.
The slightest interruption of the order for the time being put him out of gear; Amy durst not open his door to ask however necessary a question. Sometimes the three hours' labour of a morning resulted in half-a-dozen lines, corrected into illegibility. His brain would not work; he could not recall the simplest synonyms; intolerable faults of composition drove him mad.
