"You have seen Lady Beaulyon, haven't you?" He bent his head in the affirmative "Isn't she lovely?" "Not to me," he replied, quietly "But then I'm no judge." She looked at him in surprise. "She is considered the most beautiful woman in England!" "By whom?", he enquired; "By the society paragraphists who are paid for their compliments?" Maryllia laughed.
'Now you must take someone down to get something to eat, she apprised him, when he had growled out soft nothings to poetesses, paragraphists, publicists, positivists, penny-a-liners, and other pale persons. 'Whom shall it be? Ashton! What have you done?
Machines supersede muscles, and perhaps our athleticism gives skill too great preponderance over strength, or favors intense rather than constant, long-sustained, unintermittent energy. Perhaps too many of our courses of study are better fitted to turn out many-sided but superficial paragraphists, than men who can lay deep plans, and subordinate many complex means to one remote end.

"Celebrated English banker!" that sentence is a better illustration of verbal fallacies than all Ben tham's treatises put together. "Celebrated!" "It seems so," answered Paul.
Somewhere within that period a large American steamboat, of the type then used on Long Island Sound, arrived in the La Plata for passenger and freight service between Montevideo and Buenos Ayres. Her size and comfort, her extensive decoration and expanses of gold and white, unknown hitherto, created some sensation, and gave abundant supply to local paragraphists.
