In this way, you too often draw the weak into an excess of self-indulgence, that ends, alas! in drunkenness and final ruin of body and soul. You are not only responsible for all this, Mr. Muddler, but you bear the weight of a fearful responsibility!" "I cannot see the subject in that light, Mr. Mildman," the tavern-keeper said, rather gravely.
Muddler?" asked a venerable clergyman of a tavern-keeper, as the two walked home from the funeral of a young man who had died suddenly. "I find no difficulty on that score," replied the tavern-keeper, in a confident tone: "My business is as necessary to the public as that of any other man."
But I'd got more or less used to it," she confessed. "The man's well enough in some ways. Dear knows there would be a pair of them one's as much of a muddler as the other! And anybody can see with half an eye that Advena likes him. It hasn't turned out as I expected, that's a fact, John, and I'm just very much annoyed."
But, my dear nephew, I have no claim on you; you have no call to support me." "That's all right," said Michael; "I'll probably get it out of the leather business." And having taken down the old gentleman's address, Michael left him at the corner of a street. "What a wonderful old muddler!" he reflected, "and what a singular thing is life! I seem to be condemned to be the instrument of Providence.
"Monsieur Doltaire, who is in prison here, and is to fare on to the Bastile, was insolent enough to send me message yesterday that I should keep you close in your dungeon. But I had had enough of Monsieur Doltaire; and indeed it was through me that the Grande Marquise had him called to durance. He was a muddler here. They must not interfere with me; I am not to be cajoled or crossed in my plans.
"Mine is an honest and honourable calling, and it is my duty to my family and to society, to follow it with diligence and a spirit of enterprise." "May I ask you a plain question, Mr. Muddler?"

Then he walked quietly up the room and sat down beside her. "Why on earth didn't you accompany yourself?" he asked in a low voice. "You knew what a muddler that girl was, I suppose." "Yes.
At least, of course, I haven't told you EVERYTHING. If I were to do that, the book would never come to an end, and that would be a pity, wouldn't it?

"This trip," said Harris, "is going to be expensive." "It was an idiotic suggestion," I said, "from the beginning." "It was foolish of us to listen to him," said Harris; "he'll get us into real trouble one of these days." "He always was a muddler," I agreed. "So headstrong," added Harris. We heard his voice at that moment in the hall, asking for letters.
As long as we go on not thinking, not finding out, but greedily wanting good things well, we shall be as we are, that's all Potterish. 'You mean I'm Potterish, observed Jane, without rancour.
