But then again I am to consider he is grown a very great man, much greater than he was, and so must keep more distance; and, next, that the condition of our office will not afford me occasion of shewing myself so active and deserving as heretofore; and, lastly, the muchness of his business cannot suffer him to mind it, or give him leisure to reflect on anything, or shew the freedom and kindnesse that he used to do.
"Whatever comes of this expedition of ours if we fight like hell, as we probably shall, before it is finished if we hate each other ever afterwards, that skin ought to remind us that we are much of a muchness." It might have been put into better English; it might almost have sounded like poetry had Guy Oscard been possessed of the poetic soul.
"An argument against quiet pools, perhaps, Bunting; but scarcely against quiet people." "Don't know as to that, your honour much of a muchness. I have seen Master Aram, demure as he looks, start, and bite his lip, and change colour, and frown he has an ugly frown, I can tell ye when he thought no one nigh. A man who gets in a passion with himself may be soon out of temper with others.
As to what she did when she was away, and all that, you see when a woman has got seven thousand a year in her own right, it covers a multitude of sins." "Of course, I know that." "And why should a fellow be uncharitable? If a man is to believe all that he hears, by George, they're all much of a muchness. For my part I never believe anything.
This book is written out of a mind so full of wit and wisdom that it overflows at the gentlest touch. It has more sense and learning and power than go to the making up of a dozen ordinary novels. The very prodigality of its resources is a stumbling-block. Its great fault is its muchness, if we may borrow a term from Hawthorne's mint.
The more I get into my drama the more magnificent upon my word I seem to see it and feel it; with such a tremendous lot of possibilities in it that I positively quake in dread of the muchness with which they threaten me. At a moment of less illumination he writes:

"Mélanie!" was the cry of each of these as he or she turned from saluting madame; this was one of madame's largest joys; to get early report from larger or smaller fractions of the coterie, on the good things they had seen or heard, from which her muchness otherwise debarred her. The De l'Isles, however, were not such a matter of course as the others, and Mme. De l'Isle, as she greeted Mme.
"I guess that was pootty good advice," said Whitwell, letting his face betray his humorous relish of it. "I guess there's a pair of 'em." "She was not playing any one else false," said Cynthia, bitterly. "Well, I guess that's so, too," her father assented. "'Ta'n't so much of a muchness as you might think, in that light." He took refuge from the subject in an undirected whistle.
When she sits down, it is on a great round space of her Maker's footstool, where she looks as if nothing could ever move her. She imposes awe and respect by the muchness of her personality, to such a degree that you probably credit her with far greater moral and intellectual force than she can fairly claim.
