But it is the public which sees the worst of it, especially on trains, where groups of young voices or extreme fashions in dress become quite unintentionally conspicuous. Experienced from within, the life, despite its many little roughnesses, its small lapses in taste, is gracious and gentle, selfless in unobtrusive ways, and genuinely kind.
Next, while I held up the lamp to give him light, he gripped the roughnesses of the hewn stone with his toes, and in a few moments was upon the coping of the wall, twenty feet or more above the floor line. The rest was comparatively easy, for taking off his linen robe, Japhet knotted it once or twice, and let it down to us.
'Till to-morrow. She looked at him alarmedly. 'Will! But you have promised me. You are going away to-morrow. He did not reply. His eyes were roving round the chamber, dimly lighted by the two candles. He was observing the feminine details the untidinesses so characteristic of her; the daintinesses, equally characteristic all in such odd contrast with inevitable bush roughnesses.
What he hoped, however, was that when the little roughnesses of childhood were rubbed away, there would pass a deep mellowness over my soul.
When we hear him say, 'I have bought thee thou art mine, it is like one of those old words of healing, 'Thou art loosed from thine infirmity' 'Be thou clean' and the mind takes sweetly the grace and the command together, 'That he who loveth God love his brother also.

It was certainly neither merino, muslin, cashmere, rep, satin, alpaca, cloth, nor flannel. It was "Lincolnian felt," and Lincoln Island possessed yet another manufacture.
And indeed unsightly roughnesses had been skilfully covered or removed; and though a large part of the park, which was a very extensive one, was wildly broken and had apparently been left as nature left it, the hand of taste had been there; and many an unsuspected touch instead of hindering had heightened both the wild and the beautiful character.
Amiable weaknesses and shortcomings are the food of love. It is from the roughnesses and imperfect breaks in a man that you are able to lay hold of him. If a man be an entire and perfect chrysolite, you slide off him and fall back into ignorance. My friends are not perfect no more am I and so we suit each other admirably.
