You put me in a most unpleasant position this afternoon, forcing me to receive a person whom I have never been introduced to, or heard of " "Valeria Du Prel has been heard of throughout the English-speaking world," said Hadria rhetorically. "So much the worse," retorted Mrs. Fullerton. "No nicely brought up woman is ever heard of outside her own circle."
Glance through them any time you have a suspicion you may be a chump, and you'll have the comfort of knowing that there are others. What were you saying about being married?" "Mr. Bevan and I was 'aving a talk about 'im being blarzy, miss." "Are you blarzy, George?" "So Mac says." "And why is he blarzy, miss?" demanded Mac rhetorically. "Don't ask me," said Billie. "It's not my fault."
And yet, if we have found Shaftesbury and Wieland perfectly alike so far as point of view, temperament, and insight are concerned, nevertheless, the latter was far superior to the former in talent; for what the Englishman rationally taught and desired, the German knew how to elaborate poetically and rhetorically in verse and prose.
There are many things delivered rhetorically, many expressions therein merely tropical, and as they best illustrate my intention, and therefore also there are many things to be taken in a soft and flexible sense and not to be called unto the rigid test of reason.
Louisiana, Georgia, and Alabama desired a convention of the discontented States, and might be influenced by its action. North Carolina, Louisiana, and Alabama would oppose forcible coercion of a seceding State. Florida alone was rhetorically belligerent.
Such is, rhetorically speaking, the history of architecture of Spain. But the elements of which they were composed were foreign. That is, excepting in the case of Spanish-Moorish art. Moorish art! Suffice to assert in the present chapter the following statements. Moorish art in Spain is peculiar to the Arabs who inhabited the peninsula during seven hundred years.
And now tell me, what juggler or mountebank you had rather behold than hear them rhetorically play the fool in their preachments, and yet most sweetly imitating what rhetoricians have written touching the art of good speaking? Good God! what several postures they have!
"What a blitherer you are, Mahommed! Rip it open and let's have it over." The kavass handed him a large letter, pedantically and rhetorically written; and Dimsdale, scarce glancing at it, sleepily said: "Read it out, Mahommed. Skip the flummery in it, if you know how." Two minutes later Dimsdale sat up aghast with a surprise that made his heart thump painfully, made his head go round.
In the other places, which he alledgeth out of the old Testament, there is not so much as any shew, or colour of proofe. He brings in every text wherein there is the word Anger, or Fire, or Burning, or Purging, or Clensing, in case any of the Fathers have but in a Sermon rhetorically applied it to the Doctrine of Purgatory, already beleeved. The first verse of Psalme, 37.
These cases, though here spoken of rhetorically, are of daily occurrence; and, though they may seem few by comparison with the infinite millions of the species, they are many indeed, if they be reckoned absolutely for themselves; and throughout the limits of a whole nation, not a day passes over us but many families are robbed of their heads, or even swallowed up in ruin themselves, or their course turned out of the sunny beams into a dark wilderness.
