"The French Academy, I presume, are individually as appreciative of human weaknesses as most men; but taken collectively, some spirit higher and stronger than their own keeps them unanimous in their rejection of the notorious Realist who sacrifices all the canons of art and beauty to the discussion of topics unmentionable in decent society." Gervase laughed idly.
Wonderfullest things are ever the unmentionable; deep memories yield no epitaphs; this six-inch chapter is the stoneless grave of Bulkington. Let me only say that it fared with him as with the storm-tossed ship, that miserably drives along the leeward land.
I have loved cowslips doubly for the treat the sight of them was, in the midst of London and masters, seven years ago. Why, you will be twenty-four next week, Georgina. 'Growing to an unmentionable age, said Georgina. 'Well, I have set my heart on a picnic to Richmond again. Mark is to take a steamer for us, and I know of plenty of people who will make a charming party!
That is a luxury of which the poorest of us can afford an abundance, and I will not deny myself anything that is so cheap." Rachel was beguiled into smiling at his merry cynicism. "Allusions to the pavement in the unmentionable place are barred in this connection," he continued gayly.

The effect-upon the dogs was magical; the cariole flew to the summit; the progress of the episcopal tour was undeniably expedited, and a-practical exposition was given of the poet's thought, "From seeming evil still aducing good." Dogs in the Hudson Bay territories haul in various ways.

You may tell them in your cynical way that to-day is the only real day, and that there is nothing more unmentionable than yesterday except the day before.
In the corner-seat of the next pew, right before Burns, and not more than two feet off, sat the young lady on whom the poet saw that unmentionable parasite which he has immortalized in song. We were ungenerous enough to ask the lady's name, but the good woman could not tell it.
In some way the matter was compromised by putting on over our shoes large sandals made of straw. There was an earnestness that bespoke sincerity, and an all-abiding faith. I could but think how few of us who would criticise are true to the creed we profess. In a kind of lavatory adjoining could be seen men washing their feet and doing oddities unmentionable preparatory to worship.
