And we should lift a load of reprobation from some places which now have a reputation for surliness and unamiability. We find the people of one place hospitable, lighthearted, and agreeable; the people of another place cold, and morose, and unpleasant. It would be a satisfaction to know that the weather is responsible for the difference.
But he went on going to see them, as though he did not notice their unamiability. With me he was very chilly, and strange to say I felt, as it were, afraid of him. This state of things went on for a fortnight.
And even if she did, in the noble spirit of altruism, rather than selfishness, the next woman, with one reproachful glance at her, would pick up the mutilated remains of the man's vanity and apply the splints of her respectful attention and the balm of her admiration, partly to add a new scalp to her belt, and partly to show off the unamiability of her sister woman.

He murmured something that made her throw her head quickly back against his shoulder and look up at him. "If such is the end of all your quarrels, it offers a premium for unamiability," said Mr.
"Why," asked one Professor, "should a man want to be better than his neighbours? Let him be thankful if he is no worse." I ventured feebly to say that I did not see how progress could be made in any art or science, or indeed in anything at all, without more or less self-seeking, and hence unamiability.

I believe that the happier a man is, the better and kinder he will be. The greater part of unamiability, ill-temper, impatience, bitterness, and uncharitableness comes out of unhappiness.
