'I have had my reasons, Carker. I have been alone, and indifferent to it. But you have great social qualifications yourself, and are the more likely to have been surprised. 'Oh! I! returned the other, with ready self-disparagement. 'It's quite another matter in the case of a man like me. I don't come into comparison with you.
Kenelm, in this respect one of the modestest of human beings, shook his head doubtingly, and was about to reply in self-disparagement, when, lifting his eyes and looking round, he halted mute and still as if rooted to the spot. They had entered the trellised circle through the roses of which he had first caught sight of the young face that had haunted him ever since.
"I don't care to dance again just now, delightfully as you carry a clumsy one like me through " "A self-disparagement, even, can't stand unchallenged," he interrupted. "Mr. Macdonald," she whispered, "your wig is awry." They were near the door opening to the illumined garden, with its late roses, now at their best, and hydrangea clumps plumed in foggy bloom.
Ladies and gentleman of good social standing they were, who, bitterly regretting neglected early opportunities, had the moral courage to "go to school" with the wise meekness and receptiveness engendered in fine natures by ultimate self-disparagement even when their avocations seemed to preclude the possibility of sustained and fruitful study.
I arrived in England from abroad the week after war had been declared. There was a new vitality in the air, a suppressed excitement, a spirit of youth and it sounds ridiculous of opportunity.

Grandest, flattest, muddiest, dustiest, hottest, coldest, wettest, driest, farthest north, south, east, and west from other places, consequently most central, best harbor on Lake Michigan, worst harbor and smallest river any great commercial city ever lived on, most elegant in architecture, meanest in hovel-propping, wildest in speculation, solidest in value, proudest in self-esteem, loudest in self-disparagement, most lavish, most grasping, most public-spirited in some things, blindest and darkest on some points of highest interest.
In educating you, I have attempted an experiment which I should be sorry to see fail. I do not think now that it will fail. I think you will do yourself and me ample justice. If I have had my doubts, they were of your courage, not your talent. If you have a weakness, it is because of a deficiency of self-esteem a tendency to self-disparagement.
