But the proof of experience, like the touch of Ithuriel's spear, revealed the practical value of his suggestions, and dissolved the attractive vision raised by his perfervid eloquence and elevated enthusiasm. His honesty of purpose cannot, however, be disputed. On being appointed to the post of chief minister he took in hand the application of his own project.
I told them they could go at once in search of the hottest place ever pictured by a diseased and perfervid human imagination. If they went there they decided not to stay, because in an hour they were back offering to compromise. Then another bombshell.
How could you have acted, as the polar star of all the stages could not have acted in your place? Remember that I have heard a lot, and as good as seen as much as I've heard. Bunny, I don't know where you were greatest: at the Albany, here, or at your bank!" "I don't know where I was most miserable," I rejoined, beginning to see the matter in a less perfervid light.
Those perfervid appeals completed his undoing, drove him mad, and blinded him to everything even to the fact that his wife, too, was shedding tears, and that these were of rage undiluted by any more tender emotion. He began by sending Praslin to require the Archduke to order the Prince of Conde to leave his dominions.
It was a capital shot, right on the center of the target, and was followed by an admirable burst. Then all the converging batteries opened full; while the whole population of perfervid Charleston rushed out of doors to throng their beautiful East Battery, a flagstone marine parade three miles in from Sumter, of which and of the attacking batteries it had a perfect view.

The drum thundered more loudly, became unbearable. They were clear of the town and in the bush at last; huge fires gleamed through the trees, and the mob spilled into the grove.
Unfortunately, there is no form of ability which is so transient in its effects as this perfervid style of oratory. So much of its potency depends on the action of the speaker, on the glance of his eye and the modulation of his voice, that no report could do justice to it, even if there had been reporters at that time capable of putting down every word he uttered.

"Am I doing anything specially ridiculous?" she murmured sleepily from his shoulder. "I was just remembering. A year ago tonight I was frightened almost into a faint. I thought living together might turn out to be hard." "And we know that is perfectly absurd." You must excuse them. If they had been lovers out of a book, they would have talked in dithyrambs or long perfervid paragraphs.
