A number of infinitesimal annoyances, winding up with the resolute persistency of the clerk at the stage office to enter my name misspelt on the waybill, had not predisposed me to cheerfulness. The inmates of the Eureka House, from a social viewpoint, were not attractive.
Yet the comic writers of Paris imagine that they show wit when they pepper their comments with disjointed, irrelevant, and misspelt ejaculations in our vernacular. 'All right' appears daily as a witticism; 'Oh, yes! serves for the thousandth time as a touch of humour. The reason is obvious. French critics are wholly ignorant of our language.
"Yours till deth, Annabel." The fact that there was a word misspelt now and then did not detract in the least from the letter, so pleasing to Si. In fact, he was a little lame in orthography himself, so that he had neither the ability nor the disposition to scan Annabel's pages with a critic's eye.
Armed with this, his task would have been fairly easy, but when to this evidence he added a rough draft of the threatening letter which he had found amongst Vassalaro's belongings, and which had evidently been taken down at dictation, since some of the words were misspelt and had been corrected by another hand, the case was complete.
Six days after the fall of the Bastille, the Centre were for issuing a proclamation denouncing popular violence and ordering rigorous vigilance. Robespierre was then so little known in the Assembly that even his name was usually misspelt in the journals. From his obscure bench on the Mountain he cried out with bitter vehemence against the proposed proclamation: 'Revolt! But this revolt is liberty.
The settlers who came by water passed through much greater peril and hardship. An abstract, with some traditional statements interwoven, is given by Haywood; the journal itself, with some inaccuracies, and the name of the writer misspelt by Ramsey; and in much better and fuller shape by A. N. Putnam in his "History of Middle Tennessee."
That is was Cyrus, not Darius the Median, who took it. That all the Babylonian names in Daniel are absurdly misspelt and quite strange to the writer. That the writer described the Chaldeans in a way that no writer could have done before the time of Alexander the Great. The book is a tissue of errors, as we find by authentic documents and by reading the real Babylonian names on the tablets."
But others and those far the most impressive both to my taste and feelings were roughly hewn from the gray rocks of the island, evidently by the unskilled hands of surviving friends and relatives. On some there were merely the initials of a name; some were inscribed with misspelt prose or rhyme, in deep letters which the moss and wintry rain of many years had not been able to obliterate.
The colour of its fur resembles that of the deer in these forests. The natives call it the sassu-arana, or the false deer, as it frequently, in consequence, deceives them at first sight. "It was from this name being misspelt that it is called the cuguacuarana, the first c being soft," observes Bates. Hence the name cougar, employed by French zoologists, and copied in most works on natural history.
A number of the cleverest men in England can easily put out a lad of one-and-twenty. She shows you the indignant letter which the young man wrote to her, announcing the scandalous injustice with which he was treated. You remark three words misspelt in the first five lines; and you fancy you have fathomed the secret of the plucking.
