"Let those who love to decipher illegible inscriptions, to contemplate a throttled centaur on a dilapidated frieze, or a carved acanthus on a fallen capital, grope over the Acropolis and invoke Athenian Pallas," said Mike; "but for me these painted seraglios and terraced, bower-canopied gardens, vocal with nightingales and seeming to impregnate the very air with the pleasures of desire, justify the decision of Paris.
The business had been arranged while Larry was in Paris, and the expostulations that might have prevailed if delivered viva voce, failed of their effect when presented on foreign paper, in Cousin Dick's illegible scrawl. It was all very fine for Larry, ran the illegible scrawl, to talk of selling at such a price, but he ought to see what a hole his doing so put his neighbours in!
Margaret produced some of her brother-in-law's outlines, which she had picked up and preserved sketches of the children, in the oddest attitudes of children of Dr Levitt, resting his book on the end of his nose, as he read in his study-chair of Mrs Plumstead, exasperated by the arrival of an illegible letter of almost every oddity in the place.
"Yes, frequently, and from all parts of the known world. Very often he receives letters which contain money, and for which he is obliged to give a receipt; but no one has yet been able to decipher the illegible characters on the letters addressed to him, or those of his own hand." "I should think the authorities had a right to demand the information?" "Which authorities?"
Then, as suddenly, all his agitation fled. The room was cold and empty again, and his hands were steady. He took the letter and read it. It was written in great agitation and almost illegible, and at the bottom of the paper there was a dirty smudge that might have been a tear stain or a finger mark. It ran: I must go. I have been so unhappy for so long and we don't get on together, Peter, now.
The old fisherman, on receiving the message from the lord of Ringstetten that Bertalda was his guest, had written a few lines in an almost illegible hand but as well as his advanced age and long disuse would admit of. "I have now become," he wrote, "a poor old widower, for my dear and faithful wife is dead. However lonely I now sit in my cottage, Bertalda is better with you than with me.
Clodius, at any rate, escaped; most of the judges giving their opinions so written as to be illegible, that they might not be in danger from the people by condemning him, nor in disgrace with the nobility by acquitting him.
The Rev. Walter Kirke looked out moodily from beneath the eaves of his basket-work house, and his heart sank as he gazed across the sweltering strip of water, twenty miles wide, that divided the island of Apiang from its neighbor, Tarawa. "The king has broken all his promises," wrote Titcombe, in a hand illegible from distress and agitation.
Mangles, pointing down to the lawn with his umbrella, "is the turf. This is the grand-stand." "The whole," stated Miss Mangles, rather sadly, and indicating with a graceful wave of her card, which was in Russian and therefore illegible to her, the scene in general, "the whole constitutes the turf."
Several pages were devoted to souvenirs from home, and Rosy Posy's illegible scrawls were side by side with neatly-written postcards from her parents. All of these things Uncle Steve arranged with the utmost care and taste, and Marjorie soon learned how to do it for herself.
