Happily the inhabitants of the Five Towns in that era were passably pleased with themselves, and they never even suspected that they were not quite modern and quite awake. They thought that the intellectual, the industrial, and the social movements had gone about as far as these movements could go, and they were amazed at their own progress.
And what many-languaged millions of passably brave men have sympathised with Ajax in his prayer not for courage or strength; he had those already not for victory; that was outside the province of his interference but for light to see what he was doing. No obligatory track so rugged but man, if he be any good at all, may travel it with reasonable safety, in a glimmer of light.
Some of them thought it queer that he should be living all the year in the village and keeping books for a concern like Z. Snow and Co., but juvenile society is tolerant and a youth who could sing passably, dance wonderfully and, above all, was as beautifully picturesque as Albert Speranza, was welcomed, especially by the girls.
Anne looked at the speaker's face, but could read nothing. Was she in jest or earnest? "No, I would not believe you," she said, with a smile. "If you did love him, you would not proclaim it." "Exactly. I was jesting. What is Lord Hartledon to me? save that we are cousins, and passably good friends. I must avow one thing, that I like him better than I do his brother."
Nevertheless she promptly proceeded with a reckless discard of her finery a process she had begun on her way up- stairs, like a country boy on his approach to a swimming-hole. She paused in the center of the one passably sized room, and her piquant face was flushed with animation. "How perfectly corking!" she exclaimed. "How BEAUTIFUL!" "Do you think so?" Lorelei asked, doubtfully.
It cannot be contended that this obviously imperfect system was disfigured by many abuses. On the whole, it worked passably well, and if its organic faults helped to discredit it, there is no denying that it saved the Japanese from complications which would inevitably have arisen had they been entrusted with jurisdiction which they were not prepared to exercise satisfactorily.
After having learned all kinds of work becoming a young lady of good birth, she was taught to read and write more than passably well; but what she excelled in above all, was in playing all sorts of instruments suitable to her sex, with extraordinary perfection of musical taste and skill, and with the accompaniment of a voice which Heaven had endowed with such melody that when she chanted she enchanted.
To every man his prerogative, his chest-lid, and his duties, and the same for the cook and the least bit more! It is now getting passably mild, and we can sit out on deck at night.
"How did you like the life at Oxford?" asked the Doctor. "Oh, passably, passably," said Bumpo. "I liked it all except the algebra and the shoes. The algebra hurt my head and the shoes hurt my feet. I threw the shoes over a wall as soon as I got out of the college quadrilateral this morning; and the algebra I am happily forgetting very fast I liked Cicero Yes, I think Cicero's fine so simultaneous.
The "competitive system" which these standard theories assume as a necessary condition of their own validity, and about which they are designed to form a defensive hedge, would, under those earlier conditions of small-scale enterprise and personal contact, appear to have been both a passably valid assumption as a premise and a passably expedient scheme of economic relations and traffic.
