The old man takes things more quietly, and is much more willing to let well enough alone: All these superiorities, if such they are,'you must wait for time to bring you. His education in all the accessory branches is more recent, and therefore nearer the existing condition of knowledge. He finds it easier than his seniors to accept the improvements which every year is bringing forward.
I reflected acutely that the sense of such differences, such superiorities of quality, always, on the part of the majority which could include even stupid, sordid headmasters turn infallibly to the vindictive. They were like the cherubs of the anecdote, who had morally, at any rate nothing to whack! I remember feeling with Miles in especial as if he had had, as it were, no history.
Strong men are usually good-humoured, and active men often display the same elasticity of mind as of body. These are superiorities, however, that are often misused. But even for these things God shall call us to judgment. Some months since I joined with other literary folks in subscribing a petition for a pension to Mrs.
It was all very well for Mr. Britling himself to be critical of England; that is an Englishman's privilege. To hear Mr. Van der Pant questioning British efficiency or to suspect Mr. Direck of high, thin American superiorities to war, was almost worse than to hear Mrs. Harrowdean saying hostile things about Edith. It roused an even acuter protective emotion. In the case of Mr.
Contrariwise, we find that peoples of the same stock, slightly differentiated by lives carried on in unlike circumstances for many generations, produce by mixture a mental type having certain superiorities. In his work on The Huguenots, Mr.
Indistinction, I say, rather than equality, for the word equality is misleading, and might seem to imply, for example, a social and economic parity of conditions, which no more exists in America than it does in Europe. Politically, as well as socially, America is a plutocracy; her democracy is spiritual and intellectual; and its essence is, the denial of all superiorities save that of wealth.
"Has your mistress gone upstairs?" he asked her. "I don't think she has come in, sir." "Not come in?" "No, sir, she went out about three o'clock. I don't think she's come back, sir." She's running it pretty close, he thought as he looked at his watch then he went slowly up to dress. He had been more irritated by the superiorities of young Percival Galleon than he had cared to confess.
Miss Katherine told me that herself, also that the place you're in is pretty near what you're fitted to fill. Otherwise you'd get out and fill another. I've given up steeples and superiorities. But I'm glad I'm not going to be an orphan, just an orphan, all my life. But I'm not going to. Weepers are a nuisance. I guess that's the way with life, though.
But Harriet Prescott's fame rests on a foundation of sure superiorities, so far as she possesses it; and no one has impaired or can impair it, except herself. If it has not grown as was at first anticipated, it has been her own doing, and "Azarian" has come none too soon to give a better augury for the future.
If we omit the higher but disputed topics of morals and religion, we shall find, I think, that the plainer and agreed on superiorities of the Englishmen are these: first, that they have a greater command over the powers of nature upon the whole.
