Unhappily, previous neglect to apply selection through a long series of years had now occasioned conditions in which it had to be used on a huge scale, and in the most invidious manner the selecting out of the unfit.
It would be invidious to make comparisons between the Coln and the Hampshire rivers the Itchen and the Test, these are larger rivers, with larger fish, and they require a better fisherman than those stretches of the Coin that we are dealing with, although the lower reaches of the latter stream are difficult enough for most people.
"I'd give a hundred dollars for a good long drink, just as long as I liked to make it," he groaned, "and I mean a drink of pure cold water, too." "Confederate paper or money?" said Dalton. "I mean real money, but at the same time you oughtn't to make invidious comparisons." "Then the money's mine, but you can pay me whenever you feel like it, which I suppose will be never.

Garland was finding it hard work to propitiate the lady whom Raffles had deemed unworthy of mention overnight. But I own I was in no hurry to take over the invidious task. To me it need prove nothing more; to him, anguish; but I could not help feeling that even as matters stood I was quite sufficiently embroiled in these people's affairs.
