If we should die tomorrow; I hope her Majesty will find by our writings that the honour of the cause, in the opinion of the world, must be with her Majesty; and that her commissioners are, neither of such imperfection in their reasons, or so barbarous in language, as they who fail not, almost in every line, of some barbarism not to be borne in a grammar-school, although in subtleness and impudent affirming of untruths and denying of truths, her commissioners are not in any respect to match with Champagny and Richardot, who are doctors in that faculty."
He sobbed, he was now so far from home, and the voice of the wind had taken on a menacing note of such deep subtleness. Which way was home? He had forgotten. The way the wind blew? But the wind had turned to a whirlwind, blowing gales in every direction to mislead him, now that he wanted to go home.

But the education must contain much besides book-learning in order to be really good. We must ever remember that no keenness and subtleness of intellect, no polish, no cleverness, in any way make up for the lack of the great solid qualities.
If sickness is a dream then health is a dream as well. Once we have taken illusion for a guide there is no stopping until everything is illusion. The Eastern mystic who went this road long before Mrs. Eddy and who thought it through with a searching subtleness of which she was incapable, reached the only logical conclusion.
"How dost come by so much knowledge?" she said, coquettishly. "I have ascertained by subtleness, but let it pass. Let us talk of thee now. When wilt thou marry me? If thou art kind, thou wilt say at once." "Nay, I shall not say that but whenever thou dost wish it." "Of a surety? When I name the hour, wilt thou not gainsay?" "Nay, my lord. I will not gainsay."

If he asked his parents no questions it was only because he was convinced that they would not tell him the truth. But he watched all that went on in the house with that subtleness of penetration which fever so often imparts.

With drawn long-sword he was among them, and to Thuvia of Ptarth, whose startled eyes were the first to fall upon him, it seemed that she was looking upon John Carter himself, so strangely similar to the fighting of the father was that of the son. Even to the famous fighting smile of the Virginian was the resemblance true. And the sword arm! Ah, the subtleness of it, and the speed!
It has played, and is conscious of having played, a conspicuous part in the history of India down to relatively recent times; and the Brahmans of Maharashtra, who were once its rulers, have preserved to the present day the instincts and the aspirations of a ruling race, combined with great force and subtleness of intellect.
