"Very unlucky again, Stephen," said Sir John, without altering his voice a single note.
F -d is expected here in two or three days; I will do all that I can for you with her: I think you carried on the romance to the third or fourth volume; I will continue it to the eleventh; but as for the twelfth and last, you must come and conclude it yourself. 'Non sum qualis eram'.
I really found only two lines worthy of a great poet in all the Thebais. They are these. What do you think of my taste? "Clamorem, bello qualis supremus apertis Urbibus, aut pelago jam descendente carina." I am now busy with Quintilian and Lucan, both excellent writers. The dream of Pompey in the seventh book of the Pharsalia is a very noble piece of writing.
Rhomboid all the time he was in the Sixth Form, and obtained maiks, ostensibly for a French exercise, with a composition called De Camelo qualis sit.

I flatter myself, servetur ad imum, qualis ab incepto processerit . He is in excellent spirits, and I have a rich journal of his conversation. Look back, Davy , to Litchfield, run up through the time that has elapsed since you first knew Mr. Johnson, and enjoy with me his present extraordinary Tour. I could not resist the impulse of writing to you from this place.

July 10, Had a hard day's work at the Court till about two, and then came home to prepare for the country. I made a talis qualis arrangement of my papers, which I trust I shall be able to complete at Abbotsford, for it will do much good. I wish I had a smart boy like Red Robin the tinker.
"Well, but Black George?" cries Jones. "Well, sir, as I was saying, it was a long time before he could recollect me; for, indeed, I am very much altered since I saw him. Non sum qualis eram.
