It has always had, in my estimation, a low character for commercial honesty, and a certain flavor of pretentious hypocrisy. This probably has been much owing to the acerbity and pungency of Sydney Smith's witty denunciations against the drab-colored State. It is noted for repudiation of its own debts, and for sharpness in exaction of its own bargains. It has been always smart in banking.
"Will you keep to the point, sir?" said Agatha, sternly. She felt very stern very bitter. The old wound was reopening sorer than ever. Nathanael had "held conferences" with this fellow confided to him secrets which he had not told to her his own wife! Here was a new pang a new indignity. In its sharpness she forgot everything else; even the silent room overhead.
You promised to show me the pool where you can see the trout playing, this afternoon. I never saw a trout." Late one afternoon Father Abram set out for the old mill alone. He often went to sit and think of the old days when he lived in the cottage across the road. Time had smoothed away the sharpness of his grief until he no longer found the memory of those times painful.

In a word, Borgognone was a true Lombard of the best time.

This brusqueness was the counter-poise to tenderness of feeling and intensity of fancy in these Northern artists.
I wonder why he stayed on after the others." Blake examined the footsteps carefully, and compared them with the impress of his own snowshoes. "It's obvious that they can't be older than yesterday afternoon," he said.
