Her language is instructive, her counsels encouraging, while her reproaches arouse the heart to a sense of duty. She has friends wherever she is known, friends who revere and respect, without idolizing her. In her youth she never pandered to flattery, now, old, she shall not experience ingratitude.
All the best-known writers of the Victorian age have been optimistic moralists, Browning, Ruskin, Carlyle, Tennyson. They have been admired because they concealed their essential conventionality under a slight perfume of unorthodoxy. They all in reality pandered to the complacency of the age, in a way in which Byron, Wordsworth, Shelley, and Keats did not pander.
The same arguments apply to that body of electors whose motive power is sentiment their folly must be pandered to. For instance, the Transvaal Convention that Mrs. Carr mentioned is an admirable example of how such pandering is done.
"I've reached the bed-rock of myself the bed-rock of humiliation and disgrace. And it's all your fault. Instead of training me to be a man, you pandered to my poor mother's weaknesses and brought me up like a little toy dog the infernal name still sticks to me wherever I go. You made a helpless fool of me, and let me go out a helpless fool into the world.
"When I forgave your infidelities, when I pandered to your extravagance, when I allowed you to fritter away the wealth bequeathed to me by a man whose fine nature was so far removed from yours that I have often wondered why God created two such opposite types of humanity, time and again you vowed that the idle folly of my youth would never be revealed by you.

"Those censors ought to suppress this sort of buffoonery instead of scenes of dignified passion like they did in Scarlet Sin," declared Tessie. "Did you read about that?" "They sure ought," agreed Merton. "These comedies make me tired. I never see one if I can help it." Walking on, they discussed the wretched public taste and the wretched actors that pandered to it.
The crews of these found among the rum-shops and Maori houris of Kororáreka a veritable South Sea Island paradise. The Maori chiefs of the neighbourhood shared their orgies, pandered to their vices, and grew rich thereby. An occasional murder reminded the Whites that Maori forbearance was limited. But even Kororáreka drew the line.
He had not called forth the power for good, from these the necromancy of his personality had touched. He had conjured evil, he had pandered to base forces. The realization had not come easily. His habits of thought would return and blind him as of old.
The revolt of its followers from Ontario was the inevitable retribution due to a party which had pandered to religious prejudices in both provinces due to 'that party with a rigid Protestant face turning towards the west and a devout Catholic face turning towards the east'; and which at the same time had proclaimed the right to disallow any provincial act.
