When Rumor in his full magnitude gets abroad he never spares the young, the beautiful, the innocent. Beatrice was loved by every one at Northbury, but the inhabitants of this good, old-fashioned little town would have been immaculate had they not said evil things of her now.
And the more he thought of it, the thought swept through his mind in a flash the hotter he became, and he no longer restrained the impulse to follow, though the folly and possible danger of it was clear to him. "Rolfe!" he shouted. "Never mind. I'll go to the post myself. Stay here and get together all our own spares. You know them better than I do."
Small wits and great levelled their strokes at a hide which self-conceit had happily rendered proof. The sturdiest assailant was Charles Churchill. He never spares him, continued to fade there, until a whole generation of poets had passed away. It was not until the middle of April, 1785, that Death made way for a successor.
"The general deserves all he got, beyond a doubt, and there is little fear but that he will recover fast enough. He's not one of the sort that die easily. Fortune spares such as he is to try people's temper, and annoy humanity." "But is he decidedly better?" asked Isabella, with some interest. "Yes, the surgeon reports him out of danger. Yesterday he was in a fever from his wounds.
We may fling ourselves into bitter and dark rebellion; still He spares us or strikes us, gives us sorrow or delight. My one hope is to cooperate with Him, to accept the chastening joyfully and courageously. Then He takes from me joy, and courage alike, till I know not whom I serve, a Father or a tyrant.

This instinct is, I believe, nothing but the survival of the childish instinct for collecting, and though I can reluctantly admire any man who spares no trouble to gain an end, the motive is dark and unintelligible to me. There are some travellers, like Dean Stanley, who drift from the appreciation of natural scenery into the pursuit of historical associations.
The Austrian-born monarch seemed to delight in surrounding the nobles of his court with the most magnificent luxury and display that wealth could procure, as if he would fain show his Italian subjects his own national taste. "The duke spares no expense in his entertainments," said the English consul to a friend, by whom he was standing.
Even as a man is more manly when he spares the nesting birds where formerly he ruthlessly destroyed; when he unites protection with bravery; when he knows sympathy from weakness; when he combines sentiment with principle; and gentleness with vigor. No mortal can by any possibility break the laws of God. Therefore you are not to try to enforce your ideas of morality upon others.
Moll Flanders in some respects the greatest of all his books has the bareness of an Elizabethan stage in scenery and properties it is much if Greenfield spares us a table or a bed to furnish it. Of Dialogue Defoe is specially fond even making his personages soliloquise in this after a fashion and it plays a very important part in "the secret:" yet it can hardly be classed very high as dialogue.
