Therefore such a government might, according to Mr Mill's subsequent doctrine, perfectly accomplish the end of its institution. The matter is not of much consequence, except as an instance of that slovenliness of thinking which is often concealed beneath a peculiar ostentation of logical neatness. Having determined the ends, Mr Mill proceeds to consider the means.
I never intended that the work in question should be taken as history; and I should have made that point clear in an introduction, bearing my name, but that I was unwilling to take responsibility for the literary slovenliness, which was unavoidable through my haste in writing, and through Mr. D. A. Rose's hurry in publishing, the work.
In a word, just like a Russian factory not like a French or a German one. Nejdanov looked at Markelov. "I have heard so much about Solomin's superior capabilities," he began, "that I confess all this disorder surprises me. I did not expect it." "This is not disorder, but the usual Russian slovenliness," Markelov replied gloomily. "But all the same, they are turning over millions.
Then I went to Marlborough, and I was dreadfully unhappy, I hated everything and everybody the ugliness and slovenliness of it all, the noise, the fuss, the stink. I did not feel I had anything in common with those little brutes, as I thought them. I lived the life of a blind creature in a fright, groping aimlessly about. I joined in nothing but I was always strong, and so I was left alone.
"Her letter?" he repeated, as if that were a superadded shock. "What letter?" "It was in the envelope," said Nan soothingly, "with the will." "Who's it to?" He was a writer of English, but his extremity was such that only the briefest slovenliness would serve.
His stature was unusually high, and his person large and well proportioned, but he was rendered uncouth in his appearance by the scars which his scrophulous disease had impressed upon him, by convulsive motions, and by the slovenliness of his garb.
All this manoeuvring for space in such close quarters was great fun for lads accustomed to roomy houses, and careless, almost to slovenliness, in the matter of keeping things in place. Absurd as these details may seem, they were all parts, and very important parts, in the life and training of that mighty host that carried the destiny of the country in its discipline during four years.
"I return into your hands, gentlemen, the office I received from you. I thank you for the support you have afforded me in my endeavors to substitute discipline for the miserable laxity and slovenliness and dirt we found here; and your good opinion will always console me for the insults I have received from a crack-brained parson and his tools in the jail and out of it."
Of course, the maids made beds, swept and dusted dormitories, and all that; but each girl was supposed to attend to her own personal belongings; slovenliness was frowned upon throughout the school. Nancy learned much that first forenoon at Pinewood. She did not talk much with any of the girls either of her own class or older. But she heard a good deal, and kept her eyes and ears open.
Yes, whether or not we be educated, there is something we lack. But what that something is passes my understanding." On the return journey the prospect was the same as before. Everywhere the same slovenliness, the same disorder, was displaying itself unadorned: the only difference being that a fresh puddle had formed in the middle of the village street.
