Take up the first thing upon your table, the newspaper for instance, or the magazine, the decorated drawing-box, the Bramah pen, and twenty to one but a puff more or less direct shall lurk in the patent of the one, while a whole congeries of puffs shall swarm in bare and undisguised effrontery between the pages of the other.

There was both fear and admiration mingled in her look, as he reached down and patted her dainty shoulder encouragingly.
Undisguised sensuality; fraud cynical and unabashed; policy marching to its end by murders, treasons, interdicts, and imprisonments; the open sale of spiritual privileges; commercial traffic in ecclesiastical emoluments; hypocrisy and cruelty studied as fine arts; theft and perjury reduced to system these are the ordinary scandals which beset the Papacy. Yet the Pope is still a holy being.

"How much is it now?" "What do you say to a thousand dollars?" "Excellent." "Two thousand?" "You don't mean it!" "I won't keep you in suspense, John. I don't know exactly how much I've got, but it's over six thousand dollars!" John Miles stared at our hero in undisguised astonishment.
