Courts and juries may be sometimes subject to just criticism for undue leniency toward white defendants; but that courts and juries are ever subject to just criticism for undue leniency in dealing with black defendants is the sheerest nonsense. The frequent charge that the Negro's worst crimes partake of a brutality that is peculiarly racial, is not supported by facts.
Lilly Penny, whose trousseau had included twelve of the sheerest batiste ones, in a coarse, unbleached nightdress not her own and the least gentle to her flesh she had ever known. There was a row of her of which she was the whitest; wan women, big-eyed with pain, who had gone down into the canons of death that there might be life.
And in their "spare" time they enjoyed themselves tremendously in becoming better and better acquainted with their wives. For Bernice and Jones, like Barbara and Deston, had for each other an infinite number of endless vistas of personality; the exploration of which was sheerest delight.
Recollect what I said just now what if our old Beautiful, and Sublime, and Heavenly, had been the sheerest materialism, notions spun by our own brains out of the impressions of pleasant things, and high things, and low things, and awful things, which we had seen with our bodily eyes?
His deepest convictions had led him into a ministry that was, to her, the sheerest folly. Hope Farwell's profession had trained her to almost perfect self-control. There was no danger that she would let herself go. Her strong, passionate heart would never be given its freedom by her, to the wrecking of the life upon which it fixed its affections.
The chauffeur had escaped with a fractured thigh. The peer's name was Lord Talgarth. On the morning of the twenty-fourth a curious little incident happened I dug the facts out of the police news in a small public-house on the outskirts of South London. Obviously it is no more than the sheerest coincidence.
Delighted to see him again, he would talk the sheerest nonsense, and trip around about his young friend in groundless glee. It seemed after all this that Herr Carovius really loved the Baron; and he did. He loved him as a gambler loves his cards, or as the fire loves the coals.
But my own theory had always been the one I recorded at the beginning of this narrative that I caught and well, registered is a good word that I registered an overwhelming fear from some unknown source. I spied Miss Emily as she got out of the hack that day, a cool little figure clad in a thin black silk dress, with the sheerest possible white collars and cuffs.
Underneath was no rustling silk, or shining satin; only more mist, of finest, sheerest quaker-muslin; you could not tell where the cloud met the opaque of soft, unstarched cambric below it all. And from her head to her feet floated the shimmering veil, fastened to her hair with only two or three tube-rose blooms and the green leaves and white stars of the larger myrtle.
He had bathed, not as Blackwell's Island prisoners bathe, but in a luxurious tub that had a head-rest, in scented water, soft as the touch of a baby's fingers. Then his host's man servant had cut his hair, had shaved him, had massaged him until color crept into the pale cheeks. The sheerest of knee-length linen underwear touched a body that knew only rough cotton.
