There are no better friends in the world no men who understand each other better none who meet and converse more freely at their ease none who have more respect for each other than a genuine gentleman and a self-respectful humble man, who knows his place in the social scale, and is abundantly satisfied with it.
The wider leadership of the negroes by their own men is exemplified, it is not measured or exhausted, by a pregnant little volume of essays entitled The Negro Problem. As a collection, these essays are noteworthy for their cogency and clearness, for their earnest and self-respectful plea for full justice and opportunity, and their calmness and candor.
They act as if they were painfully uncertain as to whether they are men and women or spaniels. Now by the side of the person who carries an unsuspicious, self-respectful, open face, into any presence, such people as these seem unworthy of the race to which they belong.
There are daily desertions from their ranks, but always new-comers enough to fill the gaps. Their wants are as various as their conditions. This well-dressed, self-respectful mechanic wishes to consult the patent-office reports of various countries, in which the library is rich.
At the same time Kitty saw advancing up the sidewalk a figure grotesquely resembling Mr. Arbuton. It was he, but shorter, and smaller, and meaner. Then it was not he, but only a light overcoat like his covering a very common little man about whom it hung loosely, a burlesque of Mr. Arbuton's self-respectful overcoat, or the garment itself in a state of miserable yet comical collapse.
When she could wait no longer, Hester promised to send her husband to solve Mrs Grey's difficulties. "What would she have said," exclaimed Hester, "if she had seen my husband's doings of this morning?" "Ah! what indeed?" "Actually shovelling snow from his own steps!" "Oh, I thought you meant giving away a competence. Which act would she have thought the least self-respectful?"
There were a few people walking up and down in the alley, making the most of the moment of dry weather. They saluted one another like acquaintances, and three clean-shaven, walnut-faced old peasants bowed in response to March's stare, with a self-respectful civility.
With a slight bow Traverse took a chair and drew it up to the table, seated himself and, after a little hesitation, commenced, and in a modest and self-respectful manner announced that he was charged with the last verbal instructions from the doctor to the executor of his will.
I know of men and women who are the favorites of a whole neighborhood nay, a whole town because they are cheerful, and courageous, and self-respectful under misfortune; and I know of those who are as much dreaded as a pestilence, because they will not accept their lot because they grow bitter and jealous and because they will persist in taunts and complaints.
Then, in a street not too far from Mayfair, and of the quality of a self-respectful dependant of Belgravia, they set up their breathless Lares and panting Penates, and settled down with a sense of comfort that grew upon them day by day. The place undeniably had its charm, if not its merit.
