"The brotherhood of poets," he continued laughingly "is a mystic and doubtful tie that hath oft been questioned, but provided they do not, like ill-conditioned wolves, fight each other out of the arena, there should be joy in the relationship". Here, turning full upon the crowd, he lifted his rich, melodious voice to higher and more ringing tones: "It is like you, O hasty and misjudging Kyrisians, that finding a harmless wanderer from far off lands, present at the pageant of the Midsummer Benediction, ye should pounce upon him, even as kites on a straying sea-bird, and maul him with your ruthless talons!
Pitiful is his spirit, who, for any fancied or real, outward advantages, shall here and now, with the ancient philosopher, "thank God that he was born a man, and not a woman."

A supernumerary son might have been stowed away; but daughters in excess were the very nuisance of Spain.
I might have known that you couldn't be so bad, so wicked as they all said! Will you forgive me? Oh, do say you'll forgive me for so cruelly misjudging you." Derrick took the fat hand and looked, with a grave smile of more than forgiveness, at the good-natured, agitated face. "Don't say any more, Lady Gridborough," he said. "It was my fault.
