With all due deference to the people who pronounce the name of Quimper-Corentin as the synonyme of all that is ridiculous and provincial, it is a most delightful place, and well worth other more respected ones.
Some, indeed, before their liberation, have conceived of idleness as a kind of synonyme with happiness; but a short experience has never failed to prove it no less remote from that desirable state.
Grammar, Grammar, which had been a synonyme for all that was dry, irksome, useless, a beating of the wind, the crackling of thorns under a pot, Grammar even assumed for her a charm, a wonder, a glory.
Donaldson named their fourth daughter after me, modifying the old-fashioned Nancy, however, into its more agreeable synonyme of Annie. This daughter has been, of course, my peculiar pet.
Prudence, derived from providence, i.e., prevision, the gift of fore-seeing things, is in many respects almost a synonyme of reason. Physically that gift is typified in the telescopic eyes which monkeys share with a few species of birds, but with hardly any of their mammalian relatives, except man in a state of nature. Mentally it manifests itself in a marvellous faculty for anticipating danger.
"Troth and I think the gentleman would be better if he went off to his flea-bag himself." In my then mystified intellect this west country synonyme for a bed a little puzzled me. "Yes sir, the lady is engaged to me: have you any thing to say to that?" "Nothing at present, at all," said Mark, almost timidly.

This contradiction of Waterland to his own principles is continually recurring; yea, and in one place he involves the very Tritheism, of which he was so victorious an antagonist, namely, that the Father is Jehovah, the Son Jehovah, and the Spirit Jehovah; thus making Jehovah either a mere synonyme of God whereas he himself rightly renders it [Greek: Ho Ôn], which St. John every where, and St. Paul no less, makes the peculiar name of the Son, [Greek: monogen
Again: "He has one central idea terrible and awful in its aspect, although beautiful and beneficent in spirit before which he tries all causes, and men, and things. It is the Eternal Idea of Right; his synonyme of God. And this idea is perpetually present in his mind, pervades all his thoughts, will not be shuffled nor cheated, but demands a full satisfaction from all violators of it."
