But he had no training in the usual conventions, and we must remember that he had no experience whatever of women. He could only have an ideal conception of his position. An ideal is often but a flaming vision of reality. To him enters Fyne, wound up, if I may express myself so irreverently, wound up to a high pitch by his wife's interpretation of the girl's letter.
"It's not a she at all. That's the difficulty. It's a master who is applying." I whistled my astonishment, then shook my head in distrust. "If he's not a fraud he must be fooling you!" I rejoined irreverently. "No capable master would come up here." "Read that before you make a pronouncement," said Val, as he threw a letter across the table to me.
For let us beware of dogmatising irreverently as to when and how that living Spirit shall operate on the souls of men, who worketh according to His own counsel of unerring and inscrutable wisdom. "Who hath known the mind of the Lord, and who hath been his counsellor, that he should instruct him?" As a Person, He acts as "He wills," and in every case with perfect wisdom and perfect love.
Turl, that to speak irreverently of consecrated things does not become a man of your understanding. 'I can make no answer to such an accusation, Mr. Trevor, except that I must speak and think as that understanding directs me. Enlighten it and I will speak better. But what is it in a bishop that is consecrated? Is it his body, or his mind? What can be understood by his body? Is it the whole mass?
"Hush! then I will," and he glided away, while Eric, as quietly as he could, broke away the glass until it was all removed. "There's only old Stupid," whispered he, irreverently designating an under-master named Harley, "and he's asleep before the fire. Now, then, just lift me up, Eric, will you?" Eric lifted him, and he removed the nails which fastened the end of the bar.
Under their very eyes a process of centralization was going on, of which they but dimly, stupidly, grasped the purport.

The people were called together, and then, without anything being spoken previously, he read a chapter, then a psalm or part of one was sung, after that they all turned their backs to each other, half kneeling, when a common formulary of prayer was said which was long enough, but irreverently enough delivered. It was not done mornings.
Long, long ago, in old Colonial times, the Honorable Thomas Dudley, Esquire, a man of note and name and great resources, allied by descent to the family of "Tom Dudley," as the early Governor is sometimes irreverently called by our most venerable, but still youthful antiquary, and to the other public Dudleys, of course, of all of whom he made small account, as being himself an English gentleman, with little taste for the splendors of provincial office, early in the last century, Thomas Dudley had built this mansion.
The Roman attitude towards thought and learning too often reminds one of a certain modern type which has been irreverently described as being "death on culture."
I'd like to know who you'd think would want to sign up on this craft that even the rats have deserted?" "Never mind, Ira. Don't be downhearted," Prudence said, now recovered from her excitement. "Perhaps the Lord has something good in store for us." Cap'n Ira pursed his lips. "I ain't doubting the Lord's stores is plentiful," he returned rather irreverently.
