In fact, where quantity number is small, quality should be all the more high. The quality of the whole is a question of personnel even more than of material; and the quality of the personnel can be maintained only by high individual fitness in the force, undiluted by dependence upon a large, only partly efficient, reserve element. "One foot on sea and one on shore, to one thing constant never,"
Upwards from his abstracted childhood, Adam Wayne had grown strongly and silently in a certain quality or capacity which is in modern cities almost entirely artificial, but which can be natural, and was primarily almost brutally natural in him, the quality or capacity of patriotism. It exists, like other virtues and vices, in a certain undiluted reality.
Probably in consequence of observing the ill effects of undiluted spirits among his crews in the West Indies, he was the first to order a sailor's allowance of rum to be mixed with water, to which the name of grog has since been given.
For my panacea, instead of one of those quack vials of a mixture dipped from Acheron and the Dead Sea, which come out of those long shallow black-schooner looking wagons which we sometimes see made to carry bottles, let me have a draught of undiluted morning air. Morning air!
The volume, which opened with some remarks on Sir William Temple, closes with a disquisition on Warton's criticism of the poets.

There is not one of them who would not object with vigour to take a single shilling less per week for the sake of progress, or any cause that might arrogate that title. Besides, it is surely a piece of undiluted Cockney egoism to suppose that the only persons who do their duty by the Empire are Londoners.
I used to be a high-flyer myself some years ago. What knocked you out of the game?" "I oh, I lost my job," said Vallance. "It's undiluted Hades, this city," went on the other.

"People will remark upon it, certainly; but the mischief has been done already in your coming to my house at night." "Then I may sit down?" Hira did not answer, but made a comfortable seat for him on the bench, took a silver-mounted huka from a chest, prepared it for use and handed it to him. Debendra drew a flask of brandy from his pocket, and drank some of it undiluted.
