It is, however, certain that the pleasure of the majority of those who visit this revival would be none the less if the work had been written by a second-rate playwright; indeed, Mr Cecil Raleigh who, compared with Shakespeare, may, perhaps, be called second-rate, could write them a new Hamlet on the old plot which would give them far greater pleasure than they get at present.
"He understands every thing, and can do almost every thing himself." "Yes, every thing second-rate poor goods, scamped work. But that pleases, and he pleases, and he is well content with that. Well, then, bravo! But I am not angry. I and that cantata, we are both old fools! I feel a little ashamed, but it's no matter." "Forgive me, Christopher Fedorovich!" urged Liza anew.
"Are not those second-rate performances often the most charming," said Maltravers, "when the mediocrity of the intellect seems almost as if it were the effect of a touching, though too feeble, delicacy of sentiment? Madame D'Epinay's Memoirs are of this character.
The only other pair of eyes on the spot whose vision was keen as the young carter's were those of the horse; and, with that strongly conservative objection to the unusual which animals show, Blossom, on eying the collar under the tree quite invisible to Fitzpiers exercised none of the patience of the older horse, but shied sufficiently to unseat so second-rate an equestrian as the surgeon.
"The Porte will be under the necessity of making some concessions," said the king, "since he it is whose arms have sustained reverses. But Turkey may still remain a second-rate power, for I think that Russia will be satisfied with the Crimea and the Black Sea for herself and a guaranty of independent sovereigns for Wallachia and Moldavia."

The gesture of Katherine's square shoulders may have meant several things 'Aren't we all? or 'Surely that's very obvious, or 'I can't be bothered to consider Jane any more, or merely 'After all, we've just dined there. Anyhow, Katherine got off the bus at this point. I was left repeating to myself, as if it had been a new discovery, which it wasn't, 'Jane is second-rate....
We fell into generalising about humanity, made stern reflections on the future of Europe and mankind in general, authoritatively predicted that after Caesarism France would at once sink into the position of a second-rate power, and were firmly convinced that this might terribly easily and quickly come to pass.
I want to come up for a while after Easter, and am trying to get the Colonel to take a house; that depends on you a good deal. If you would join me in taking a house for three months he would agree at once." "But I have just agreed to stay with Miss Payne for a year." "How foolish! how short-sighted!" cried Mrs. Ormonde. "You will be just lost in a second-rate place like this."
The first medical men, I felt assured, would never, in the present state of public opinion, take an interest in a female college; and I desired, above all things, to protect women from second-rate instruction. But, when Marie Zakrzewska took up her residence in Springfield Street, it was impossible to feel indifferent.
And if Mackenzie & Co. thought it worth while to bring out such an edition of an entirely second-rate author, surely it would be to Wittekind's advantage to treat Adrian equally sumptuously. I advised her to write to Wittekind. She did. Accompanied by a fury of ink, she sent me his most courteous and sensible answer. Both books were doing splendidly.
