KENELM CHILLINGLY had quitted the paternal home at daybreak before any of the household was astir. "Unquestionably," said he, as he walked along the solitary lanes, "unquestionably I begin the world as poets begin poetry, an imitator and a plagiarist. I am imitating an itinerant verse-maker, as, no doubt, he began by imitating some other maker of verse.
Similarly when two ancient documents are in question: when the author of one has copied directly from the other, the filiation is generally easy to establish; the plagiarist, whether he abridges or expands, nearly always betrays himself sooner or later. When there are three documents in a family their mutual relationships are sometimes harder to specify. Let A, B, and C be the documents.
And this he writes with the scissors actually opened in his hand for the almost bodily abstraction of the passage beginning, "Man, the most excellent and noble creature of the world!" Surely this denunciation of plagiarism by a plagiarist on the point of setting to work could only have been written by a man who looked upon plagiarism as a good joke.
"A picture is as much a part of the world as a human face: why should I not take my inspiration from a picture as well as from a human face?" "You mean to say he is only a copyist a plagiarist!" she said, with some indignation. "Not at all," said he. "All artists have their methods founded more or less on the methods of those who have gone before them.
"Well, ain't that abslooshly abdominable." Prissy began to cry softly. He knew the pangs of an author circumvented by a plagiarist. The next morning his head ached and he rang up an eye-opener or two. The valet found him in violet pajamas, holding his jangling head and moaning: "There was too much sugar in the punch."
She made some remark on each of the guests as they passed by, and apparently did so in a manner satisfactory to the owner of the house, for Miss Dunstable answered with her kindest smiles, and in that genial, happy tone of voice which gave its peculiar character to her good humour: "She is quite convinced that you are a mere plagiarist in what you are doing," said Mrs.
"Sleep," says honest Sancho, "covers a man better than a cloak." I am ashamed of thee, honest Sancho, thou art a sad plagiarist; for Tibullus said pretty nearly the same thing before thee, "Te somnus fusco velavit amictu." But is not silence as good a cloak as sleep; does it not wrap a man round with as offusc and impervious a fold?
And you have numbers of little phrases in common: you are partners in aphorisms: Barriers are for those who cannot fly: that is Alvan's. I could multiply them if I could remember; they struck me as you spoke. 'I must be a shameless plagiarist, said Clotilde. 'Or he, said Count Kollin.
Also in Democratic newspapers now and then. Here are two where the mistake has resulted from sound assisted by remote fact: PLAGIARIST, a writer of plays. DEMAGOGUE, a vessel containing beer and other liquids.
Bavius and Maevius were there, still complaining of 'cliques, railing at Horace for a mere rhymer of society, and at Virgil as a plagiarist, 'Take away his cribs from Homer and Apollonius Rhodius, quoth honest Maevius, 'and what is there left of him? I also met a society of gentlemen, in Greek costume, of various ages, from a half-naked minstrel with a tortoiseshell lyre in his hand to an elegant of the age of Pericles.
