Only the strongest men can withstand it, only reformers who are such in deed, and not alone in name, can snap their fingers at it, and liken it to the crackling of thorns under a pot. Confucius and Martin Luther must have been ridiculed, Mr.
Again she saw that look in his eye, and again he raised a sympathy-beseeching wail. Cicely's patience began to give way. "Really, Malcolm!" she cried tartly, "if you have anything to say, say it, but don't go on like a baby!" "Like a baby!" repeated the deeply affronted baronet. "Heavens, would you liken me to that, of all things!
