"No!" snapped Carroll "I can't. He hasn't misquoted a single line of what I said. It just makes things makes 'em mighty embarrassing." He sat hunched in his chair staring at the screaming headlines and re-reading the lurid story. Again an orderly entered. "Young lady out there," he announced, "who wants to know if Mr. Carroll is here."
"What's in a name? a boat by any other " I misquoted. "If you like, we'll call it the Joyful Hope, bound for the Land of Heart's Delight." Lisbeth shook her head, but I fancied the dimple peeped at me for a moment. "It would be a pity to disappoint Louise," I said, reaching up to stroke the fluffy kitten. "Yes," cried Dorothy, "do let's go, Auntie."
It was the former lady's regular business, but Dido had used herself ungenteelly, and Madame d'Enfer stood firm on the point of etiquette. So the bathycolpian Here Juno, in Latin sent down Iris instead. But I was mightily pleased to see that one of the gentlemen that do the heavy articles for this magazine misquoted Campbell's line without any excuse.
I said that of business conditions!" shouted Paul, outraged at being so misquoted. "Well, if it's true of them No; I feel that things are the way they are because we don't really care enough to have them some other way. If you really cared as much about sharing a part of your life with me really sharing as you do about getting the Washburn contract "
Betty, her face still slightly flushed, said: "I'm waiting for congratulations which seem to be about as overwhelming as snow in August. Don't you think I've been extraordinarily good?" "Do you feel good?" "More than good," she laughed. "Christianlike. Aren't we told in the New Testament to forgive our enemies?" "'And love those that despitefully use us?" I misquoted maliciously.
The prayer he did pray was about the worst he could have prayed and the psalmist, being the psalmist, naturally prayed it unless I have misquoted him. ii Prayers are to men as dolls are to children. They are not without use and comfort, but it is not easy to take them very seriously.
"You deny," continued he, "the Sovereignty of the States; you deny the right of self-government in the People; you insist upon Negro Equality; your people interfere impertinently with our Institutions and attempt to subvert them; you publish newspapers; you deliver lectures; you print pamphlets, and you send them among us, first, to excite our Slaves to insurrection against their masters, and next, to array one class of citizens against the other; and I say to you, that we cannot live in peace, either in the Union or out of it, until you have abolished your Abolition societies; not, as I have been misquoted, abolish or destroy your school-houses; but until you have ceased in your schoolhouses teaching your children to hate us; until you have ceased to convert your pulpits into hustings; until you content yourselves with preaching Christ, and Him crucified, and not delivering political harangues on the Sabbath; until you have ceased inciting your own citizens to make raids and commit robberies; until you have done these things we cannot live in the same Union with you.
"'Tell the truth and shame the family," misquoted Madame Bernard. "Age and false hair are not things to be flaunted, Isabel, remember that." Isabel flushed at the rebuke, and her cheeks were still burning when she went to her room. "I don't care," she said to herself, with a swift change of mood. "I'm glad I told him. They'd never have done it, and it's just as well for him to know."
And with several texts of Scripture, misquoted or misapplied, and religious exclamations so redolent of the ludicrous in the style of delivery and manner of bringing in, if not in the expressions themselves, that I decline repeating them, she withdrew; tossing her large head in high good- humour with herself at least and left me hoping that, after all, she was rather weak than wicked.
"Six souls with but a single thought; Six hearts that beat as one;" misquoted Mrs. Maria, and a chorus of laughter that almost rattled the windows followed her. They were still holding their sides and bursting out afresh every other minute, when little Sylvia Rutledge sailed into the dining-room with a delicate basket in her hand. "Merry Christmas!" said she, "but you seem to have it already."
