"That is a lie, misbegotten son of an one-eyed woman of shame!
Considering that you took your degree at Oxford " "You could expect nothing better from the disadvantages of my education," said the doctor, finishing the sentence with the grave composure that distinguished him. "When I said 'misbegotten, perhaps I ought to have said 'half-begotten'? Thank you for reminding me. I'll look at the dictionary when I get home." Ovid's mind was not set at ease yet.
He recoiled before the Italian fury of her, was dully resentful even, suspecting that in such words from a woman were she twenty times his mother, there was something dishonouring to his manhood.

Richard Haberton required more than two weeks' time for the evolving of real "charm"; at any rate the audience came in no larger numbers to see this new version, and the misbegotten production lived for another six performances, and died a peaceful death at the very gates of the metropolis.
