He has taught the jury and the judge, and even his own counsel, to believe that every doctor can, with a glance at the tongue, a touch on the pulse, and a reading of the clinical thermometer, diagnose with absolute certainty a patient's complaint, also that on dissecting a dead body he can infallibly put his finger on the cause of death, and, in cases where poisoning is suspected, the nature of the poison used.
Dickens would have given a touch of the grotesque to Grail's gentle but ungainly character; but at the end he would infallibly have rewarded him as Tom Pinch and Dominie Sampson were rewarded. Not so George Gissing. His sympathy is fully as real as that of Dickens. But his fidelity to fact is greater.
The conclusion of the whole matter is: The Bible is not the supernaturally inspired, infallible word of God, given by him as the source and final authority for religion, outside of which and since its close there is no more revelation; but it was written by fallible men of like passions with ourselves, who wrote, not as they were infallibly and inerrantly guided by the Holy Spirit, but as they were moved by the same impulses, passions and motives that have moved men in all ages to write their thoughts, feelings, beliefs, hopes, fears, aspirations and views of life.

Yet Fielding had already, as we shall see, struck a wholesome note of satiric fun.
'My God, I forgive her as I hope to be forgiven! 'As soon as a man comes to understand that GOD IS LOVE, said Dr. Chalmers, 'he is infallibly converted. That being so, Rodney Steele was infallibly converted that day, and that day he entered into peace. When Robert Louis Stevenson settled at Samoa, the islands were ablaze with tumult and strife.
If war came upon us, we must infallibly be overthrown, for each general would be seeking out of the accidents of warfare to steal an advantage for himself or the party he favours." The town of Beaucaire, on the farther side of the Rhone, is fuller of picturesque points than is Tarascon.
His only real justification would be to turn patience his own of course inside out; yet if there should be a way to misread that recipe his humbugging genius could be trusted infallibly to discover it.
