I I put the misstatement in on purpose to arouse a controversy between us. 'Netta, how terrible! 'Why terrible, Marion? I knew Henry would make an excellent husband. Am I not a suitable wife for him? 'You are just perfect, dear but you might have been otherwise. 'That's exactly what I'm driving at, Marion. Gladys is an "otherwise."
The assertion, that man's "first form is that which is permanent in the animalcule," even if we do not look to the potentiality of development into a higher being, which experience shows to exist in the human germ, but not in the infusorial, is a positive misstatement. The lowest monad has a mouth and means for propagating its kind, which do not belong to the primitive ovum of any higher animal.
The fish-canneries were working day and night, and every can of fish the whole output had been bought by the government for the soldiers. Very good. We are a nation at war. Our soldiers must be properly fed and so must our allies. If it takes all the fish in the sea and all the meat on the land, we must and will win this war. But real patriotism is one thing and misstatement is another.
"He told me that on the day of Miss Wade's and my arrival at your house, he had made a misstatement to each of us and had not repeated to us accurately what he had overheard you telling Silvia when he was on the porch roof. Miss Wade, what did he tell you about me?" "He said that Lucien said that your only failing was that you were daffy over women and made love to every one you saw." "Oh, Beth!"
Bloomfield, pointing to another paragraph, "is a positive statement or misstatement, which makes the cost of the 'civil department of the United States Government, about six times more than it really is." "Our government is so extremely mean, that I ascribe that error to generosity."
Hence we conclude this prodigality of misstatement, this exuberance of mendacity, is an effervescence of zeal in majorem gloriam Dei. Elsewhere he tells us that “the idea of the author of the ‘Vestiges’ is, that man is the development of a monkey, that the monkey is the embryo man, so that if you keep a baboon long enough, it will develop itself into a man.” How well Dr.
If the substitution occurred, it must have been in early infancy. Besides, we know why Napoleon at marriage sought to appear older than he was, and Joseph's contract was written when the misstatement in it was valuable as making him appear thoroughly French.
"In one thing I made a misstatement," he said, softly. "They're not imaginary battles that the colonel lies fighting in the hospital tent. They're real enough." There was a short silence; then Celia spoke unsteadily from the depths of her pillow: "Uncle Ray, were you ever mean enough to be jealous?" The captain looked quickly at the fair head on the pillow.
Whatever amusement I had found in reading the commencing portion of this ridiculous misstatement, the allusion in the latter part by no means afforded me equal pleasure; and I saw, in one rapid glance, how much annoyance, and how many delays and impediments a charge even of this ridiculous nature, might give rise to in my present circumstances.
Secondly, the proportion of the produce in grain was similar. The General's crops were from two to three bushels of wheat per acre; and my father's farm, although poor clay soil, gave from twenty to thirty bushels. A misstatement, of course. During this conversation Colonel Lear, aide-de-camp to the General, was present.
