The Assistant Commissioner gave him an unsmiling glance. Till they came to the door of the great man’s room, Toodles preserved a scandalised and solemn silence, as though he were offended with the Assistant Commissioner for exposing such an unsavoury and disturbing fact. It revolutionised his idea of the Explorers’ Club’s extreme selectness, of its social purity.
"We have much pleasure in recommending to our readers' attention this valuable and well arranged catalogue. Mr. Stewart's collection of works, in all the branches of a theological library, ranks high, both for number and selectness, among the very best in the country." Christian Observer. Printed by THOMAS CLARK SHAW, of No. 8. New Street Square, in the Parish of St.
It is to this magic name, probably, that the town owes its numerous magnificent temples, and the selectness of the Brahmans who inhabit the banks of the river. Twice a year pilgrims flock here to pray, and on these solemn occasions the number of the visitors exceeds that of the inhabitants, which is only 35,000.
For this there were a number of reasons, but the paramount one was the fact that Mr. Lispenard was descended from one of the oldest houses among the Knickerbockers, and as such it was extremely difficult for him to become aware of any one not sprung with equal selectness.

I thought the landlady would never get through expatiating upon what a select place she ran, and thus leave us alone in our room, but at last even her flood of words was stilled by demands from a servant downstairs who must be instructed if the selectness of the establishment were to be maintained. No sooner were we alone than Kennedy tiptoed into the hall and made sure that we were not watched.
Laura carried him into her own room with something like gaiety, and there repeated to him more nursery rhymes, dating from secular Putney, than she would have believed she remembered. The Believers' Rally, as will be understood, was a gathering of some selectness.
A too reflective and diffusive sympathy was in danger of paralyzing in him that indignation against wrong and that selectness of fellowship which are the conditions of moral force; and in the last few years of confirmed manhood he had become so keenly aware of this that what he most longed for was either some external event, or some inward light, that would urge him into a definite line of action, and compress his wandering energy.
She was like a general running a big battle. She had to gallop to odd spots now and then. The tradition of her selectness received a severe strain in the presence of such hordes of guests.
