In the second place, one of the chief pleasures procured by wealth vanity, the desire to astonish and outshine other people is difficult to satisfy in the country; and this, again, on account of the lack of inhabitants.

I left her to busy herself with the trifles she best loved trifles of dress and personal adornment, for which many women barter away their soul's peace and honor, and divest themselves of the last shred of right and honest principle merely to outshine others of their own sex, and sow broadcast heart-burnings, petty envies, mean hatreds and contemptible spites, where, if they did but choose, there might be a widely different harvest.
The new cup-bearer waved his hand, and Kenkenes went on. "There is my father, the murket. He needs no further praise than the utterance of his name. There is Hotep, on whose lips Toth abideth.

My gentleman gives the law where he is; he will outpray saints in chapel, outgeneral veterans in the field, and outshine all courtesy in the hall.
