The contrast between these novelists is maintained, too, in the matter of style: Fielding walks with the easy undress of a gentleman: Richardson sits somewhat stiff and pragmatical, carefully arrayed in full-bottomed wig, and knee breeches, delivering a lecture from his garden chair.
Forgive me, my dear Here is that stupid uncle Antony of yours. A pragmatical, conceited positive. He came yesterday, in a fearful pucker, and puffed, and blowed, and stumped about our hall and parlour, while his message was carried up. My mother was dressing. These widows are as starched as the old bachelors. She would not see him in a dishabille for the world What can she mean by it?
Carleton came before the States-General soon afterwards with a prepared oration, wearisome as a fast-day sermon after the third turn of the hour-glass, pragmatical as a schoolmaster's harangue to fractious little boys. He divided his lecture into two heads the peace of the Church, and the peace of the Provinces starting with the first.
Some folks air allers for change, but I've known when I was well off and they've known when they were well off." Mr. Swan said this in a somewhat pragmatical tone, and continued, "There's nothing but a long course of just dealing and respect o' both sides as can buy such digging as this here family gets out of my spade."
He was generally most at ease among the children; he saw some of them, and Swan holding forth to them in his most pragmatical style. Swan was dressed in his best suit, but he had a spade in his hand. Valentine joined them, and threw himself on a seat close by.
What really makes a nation grow, and improve, and progress, is not social legislation and organisation. That is only the sign of the rising moral temperature; and a man who sets an example of soberness, and kindliness, and contentment is better than a pragmatical district visitor with a taste for rating meek persons. It may be asked, then, do I set myself up as an example in this matter?
Unjust it were to bid the world be just; and blame her not: She ne'er was made for justice: Take what she gives thee, leave all griefs aside, for now to fair and Then to foul her lust is. We need do no more than mention the world-famous stories of the unfortunate Hunchback and the pragmatical but charitable Barber.
"And shall have all the beating, you rascal knave," said Nigel; "am I to be insulted and dishonoured by your pragmatical insolence, in blending your base concerns with mine?" "Nay, nay, nay, my lord," said the good-humoured citizen, interposing, "I have been the means of bringing the fellow's blunder to light allow me interest enough with your lordship to be bail for his bones.
My mother continued, after a short pause., "Arthur is a pretty name. Then there 's William Henry Charles Robert. What shall it be, love?" "Pisistratus! a very fine name," said my mother, joyfully, "Pisistratus Caxton. Thank you, my love: Pisistratus it shall be." "Do you contradict me? Do you side with Wolfe and Heyne and that pragmatical fellow Vico? Do you mean to say that the Rhapsodists "
"Peter," exclaimed the baronet, striding up and down, "Peter, you are a fool, sir, a hot-headed, self-sufficient, pragmatical young fool, sir, curse me!" "I am sorry you should think so," I answered.
