I happen to please him, not by any qualities of mind or person, of which he is tolerably insensible, but because there is a possibility that I may one day be a peer of the realm, if my booby relations will but be so indulgent as to die fast enough. Once more to these catechumenical inspectors of morality, these self-appointed overseers of the conscience.
As he rode on, Conyngham left a message from time to time for his self-appointed servant.
Even so in more recent times the Kaiser appeared at one and the same time as a devout pilgrim to the Holy Land, as the special friend of Abdul Hamid—Abdul the Damned—and as the self-appointed protector of three hundred million Mohammedans. We have analyzed the principles which ever directed the Prussian State.
That's his fault. Don't you like men who do what they ought not to do?" "No," said Mary, "I don't. Everybody always ought to do what they ought to do.

Of course he charged exorbitant rates for the transmission of the mail to the nearest regular station. It is recorded of one of these self-appointed officials that, although he transported the mail but once a month, he still charged twenty-five cents for each letter.
