Where the Greek master lightly sketches, the Etruscan disciple lavishes a scholar's diligence; instead of the light material and moderate proportions of the Greek works, there appears in the Etruscan an ostentatious stress laid upon the size and costliness, or even the mere singularity, of the work.
"Here we are surrounded by quagmires of poverty, injustice, social anomalies, and human distress, and this poor soul a rich pork-butcher, angling for the favours of a moribund political party, I dare say lavishes heaven knows how many pounds over an arrangement by which young men are to be taught how to kill each other with neatness and despatch at a distance of half a mile!
It is then that a woman becomes utterly pliant and like to the most brilliant of all the strings of a harp, when thrown before the fire; she rolls round you, she clasps you, she holds you tight; she defers to all your caprices; never was her conversation so full of tenderness; she lavishes her endearments upon you, or rather she sells them to you; she at last becomes lower than a chorus girl, for she prostitutes herself to her husband.
Miss Nancy was a providence, one of those old maids that are benedictions to the whole town; one of those in whom the mother-love, wanting the natural objects on which to spend itself, overflows all bounds and lavishes itself on every needy thing, and grows richer and more abundant with the spending, a fountain of inexhaustible blessing.
A million may be a great deal to pay for a diamond or a palace, but it is a mere trifle compared with the sums which Britain lavishes whenever Britons are in need of deliverance if they happen to be imprisoned abroad. The King of Ashantee had captive some British subjects not even of English birth in 1869.
Blessed proof that He lavishes benefits on His foes, and that His delight is to heal all wounds and stanch every bleeding heart! The last incident here is Christ's piercing rebuke, addressed, not to the poor, ignorant tools, but to the prime movers of the conspiracy, who had come to gloat over its success.
She rejoices in illusion. If a man destroys this in himself and others, she punishes him like the hardest tyrant. If he follows her in confidence, she presses him to her heart as if it were her child. Her children are numberless. To no one of them is she altogether niggardly; but she has her favorites, on whom she lavishes much, and for whom she makes many a sacrifice.
'I am sure he is wonderfully kind, but I have only seen him that once when he came with Sir Jasper, and then I knew nothing but that when Sir Jasper was come things must go right. 'Of course; but has he never been to see you now that you are up and dressed? 'No, he lavishes anything on me that I can possibly want, but I have only seen him once -never here. 'It is like Beauty and the Beast!
And often when the creature is alone and secure from being observed by anyone He will open His glamour to the soul and she passes into union with paradise and even more high heaven itself. These are angels' delights which He lavishes upon the prodigal.
At last it came: the first paragraph that struck my eyes was the following: "It is rumoured among the circles of the Faubourg, that a duel was fought on , between a young Englishman and Monsieur D ; the cause of it is said to be the pretensions of both to the beautiful Duchesse de P , who, if report be true, cares for neither of the gallants, but lavishes her favours upon a certain attache to the English embassy."
