He repeated his warning text over and over again; he illustrated it in the most brilliant fashion; and his appeals to those who had secret sins, to confess them at once, were quite heartrending in their pathos. As most of his congregation had their own little peccadilloes to worry over, Mr Cargrim's sermon made them quite uneasy, and created a decided sensation, much to his own gratification.
His misdoings amounted to more than peccadilloes." It was in Zürich that Wagner gave Minna some other causes for uneasiness than his habit of being late at meals. Hans Bélart, in his "Wagner in Zürich," refers to Wagner's flirtation with Emilie Heim, the wife of a conductor, who lived so near the Wagners that their kitchen-gardens adjoined.
"I have heard of spirits walking with aerial bodies, and have been wondered at by others; but I must only wonder at myself, for if they be not mad, I'me come to my own buriall." SHIRLEY's Witty Fairie One Everybody has heard of the fate of Don Juan, the famous libertine of Seville, who for his sins against the fair sex and other minor peccadilloes was hurried away to the infernal regions.
"There are some peccadilloes we do not tolerate here. Have you seen the Chevalier Osorio?" "I think of calling on him to-day or to-morrow." "I hope you will remember me to him." He rang his bell, bowed, and the audience was over. The Chevalier Osorio received me at his office, and gave me a most gracious reception.
The amusing novel of "Ernest Maltravers," for instance, opens with a seduction; but then it is performed by people of the strictest virtue on both sides: and there is so much religion and philosophy in the heart of the seducer, so much tender innocence in the soul of the seduced, that bless the little dears! their very peccadilloes make one interested in them; and their naughtiness becomes quite sacred, so deliciously is it described.
The reputations of certain elderly gentlemen of wealth might have remained to this day intact had it not been for her; she had a heaven-sent knack of discovering peccadilloes. Anne Rory knew the gentlemen by sight, and the gentlemen did not know Anne Rory. Uncle Tom she held to be somewhere in the calendar of the saints.
A ruler who not only framed acts, but saw those acts enforced, whether they regarded a "Declaration for a day of Publique Thanksgiving," or "A Licence for transporting Fish in Foreign Bottoms," was not likely to be much after the taste of one who had the essence of lawgiving only within himself, and who perceived clearly enough that the royal but thoughtless Stuarts would be more easily managed more prone, if not from feeling, at all events from indolence, to overlook the peccadilloes of such as Dalton, than the unflinching Oliver, who felt that every evil he redressed was a fresh jewel in his sceptre.
"We, as the instruments of human justice in this desert, command you to be his executioner. The treasures contained in this valley will remunerate you for undertaking this terrible duty. May you never commit a more iniquitous act!" "One cannot live through forty years without having a few little peccadilloes on one's conscience, Don Tiburcio.
Cousinly? Well, regrets were unavailing; I could not call the kisses back again, and how was I to know I was going to meet Dolores and of course fall straightway in love with her? That is the way a man argues himself into a comfortable state of mind when his half forgotten peccadilloes of meanness spring up and prick him! St.
A religious observance of great importance with the Japanese is 'Osurasma, or 'praying a soul out of purgatory, as they wisely consider that even the most holy must have some small peccadilloes to answer for. This ceremony takes place in the seventh month after death: a white lamp is its emblem.
