She is one of the handsome, fascinating society vampires, who make great capital out of matrimonial infelicities, to appeal to the sympathies of really good and generous men, who are the more easily caught in the silken nets.
'There is this admirable commonplace, too, which, from long habit of being introduced in such discourses, wishes to come in before I conclude namely, that infelicities of various kinds belong to the state here below. Who are we that we should not take our share? See the slight amount of personal happiness requisite to go on with.
For the date drew near of his yearly removal from the Riviera to Cotteret-les-Bains, in the Ardennes, where, during the summer season, he exploited the physical infelicities and mental credulities of his more wealthy fellow-creatures. The établissement at Cotteret was run by a syndicate, in which Dr.
Of that other trait to which I have referred his not exceptional preoccupation with a purely musical plan at the expense of dramatic and emotional congruity the attentive observer will not want for examples in almost any of MacDowell's song-groups. Such infelicities are difficult to account for in the work of a musician so exceedingly sensitive in matters of poetic fitness as he.
It seems as if the power of imagining the world concretely MIGHT have been common enough to let our readers apprehend us better, as if they might have read between our lines, and, in spite of all our infelicities of expression, guessed a little more correctly what our thought was. But alas! this was not on fate's programme, so we can only think, with the German ditty:
This order was put forth to protect the public from the contaminating example of matrimonial infelicities; though we are not aware that the number of divorce cases has materially decreased, or the standard of public morality been greatly elevated in consequence thereof. The case of Slapman vs. Slapman was on trial before a referee, by mutual agreement of the parties.
And they have the pleasant custom long ago fallen into decay in the North of frequently employing the respectful 'Sir. Instead of the curt Yes, and the abrupt No, they say 'Yes, Suh', 'No, Suh. But there are some infelicities. Such as 'like' for 'as, and the addition of an 'at' where it isn't needed.
Yet we find in him a deplorable example of the degrading influence on the human mind of the greed of possessions and power, and of the infelicities that attend it; for though he promptly set about the reforming of abuses in the several departments of his government, and invited the ladies of the American mission to teach in his new harem, nevertheless he soon began to indulge his avaricious and sensual propensities, and cast a jealous eye upon the influence of the prime minister, the son of his stanch old friend, the Duke Ong Yai, to whom he owed almost the crown itself, and of his younger brother, the Second King, and of the neighboring princes of Chiengmai and Cochin China.
In these infelicities Bigot figures as peacemaker, though with no perceptible success. Vaudreuil's cup of bitterness was full when letters came from Versailles ordering him to defer to Montcalm on all questions of war, or of civil administration bearing up war. He had begged hard for his rival's recall, and in reply his rival was set over his head.
Please, my reader, knowing without a doubt that I certainly had no more time for writing than those moments during which I dictated the words themselves, forgive the stylistic infelicities; I did not first write on wax tablets to be corrected diligently later, by I wrote them directly on the parchment, exactly as it is, harshly barked out.
