Without wearying you with explanations, which, indeed, I have no time to write being engaged to drive out with Clara in an hour from this time I will transcribe a portion of a letter received by me, two days since, from a gentleman of unexceptional standing, and upon whose word you may safely depend.
At one of our great shows the same judges were appointed for cattle and sheep; they were unexceptional judges of cattle, but knew very little about breeding-sheep.
And so in sooth I would have been but for the chimney. Why did the otherwise unexceptional Master Watts insist upon the chimney? Such a chimney it was, too, yawning across the full length of one side of the room, and open straight up to the cold sky.
I had met with several young ladies of a higher description, daughters of our country gentlemen, a class which furnishes a number of valuable and elegant women. Some of these, whom I knew, seemed unexceptional in manner and in mind.
In reply we sent a message to the Pasha, setting forth the rank and titles of the General, and requiring permission to go ashore.

"I wish I could wear my clothes as you do," she would say as they walked home together.
Sichel's Moses all that occurs to us to say is that when he let his left arm hang down and raised the other aloft, he looked very like a tea-pot. Mr. Joseph Knight was Old Rowley. In that character all we saw of him was his back; and we are bound to admit that it was unexceptional. Sheridan calls one of his servants Snake, and the other Trip. Mr.
