They are the magic alchemists who extract sweet essences out of bitter herbs, like the old colored woman in the smoky hut, who was "glad of anything to make a smoke with," and, though she had but two teeth, thanked God they were "opposite each other!" Goodness outranks even uprightness, because the good man aims to do good to others.
By rights she should have been mentioned first, as her husband outranks, not only all the men of his age, but also his cousin, the old Duc de la Rochefoucauld-Doudeauville, to whom, however, a sort of brevet rank is accorded on account of his years, his wealth, and the high rank of his two wives. It might almost be asserted that our fair compatriot wears the oldest coronet in France.
While they were at table Sun Wu Kung asked accidentally: "Stablemaster? What sort of a title is that?" "Why, that is an official title," was the reply. "What rank has this office?" "It has no rank at all," was the answer. "Ah," said the ape, "is it so high that it outranks all other dignities?" "No, it is not high, it is not high at all," answered his friends.
Happily, city officials, teachers, and sanitarians are now slowly realizing the great improvement in health and temper that comes from bathing and are establishing beach and surf, spray, floating and plunge summer baths and swimming pools; often providing instruction even in swimming in clothes, undressing in the water, treading water, and rescue work, free as well as fee days, bathing suits, and, in London, places for nude bathing after dark; establishing time and distance standards with certificates and even prizes; annexing toboggan slides, swings, etc., realizing that in both the preference of youth and in healthful and moral effects, probably nothing outranks this form of exercise.
She naturally could not grant her rival a share of her own discriminating taste in loving. "I suppose," thought Mary, "it is her immaturity which makes her prefer the doctor person to one who so far outranks him. She admires sleek hair and a straight nose. The finer fascinations of Benis escape her." Meanwhile she stayed on.
"Great swell they tell me Miss Jones is. They say she's it in Washington all right way ahead of some that outranks her. Got outside money their own money. Handy, ain't it?" he laughed. "Though it ain't just the money, either. Her mother was well, somebody big don't just recollect the name. Friendly, Miss Jones is.
Higginson could not stand Whitman, and had his little fling at him whenever he got the chance. Who reads Higginson now? Emerson, who far outranks any other New England poet, was fairly swept off his feet by the first appearance of "Leaves of Grass." Whittier, I am told, threw the book in the fire. Whittier's fame has not gone far beyond New England.
But at the left there is a salient in the cliff-line, and here accordingly a great cataract of foaming water comes down almost as a separate body, in advance of the line of the main fall. I doubt whether, excepting, of course, Niagara, there is a waterfall in North America which outranks this if both volume and beauty are considered.
He does not sport the garb of those elder knaves, it is true, though he is knavish enough when occasion offers, he is at this moment inspecting a new jack-knife, and will, I fear, whittle off one of his dear, chubby fingers, but he outranks all the crowned monarchs in the world. Whom do I mean? Whom, but Thomas the First, Thomas the Only, my first-born, royal son?
I haven't much to say in planning it out; I leave it to you and will do anything at your bidding." I parted from Porcupine then. If Red Shirt was really instrumental in bringing us two into the trouble as Porcupine supposed, he certainly deserves to be called down. Red Shirt outranks us in brainy work. And there is no other course open but to appeal to physical force.
