Will you say whom you are thinking of? 'It would be useless. I have no wish to discuss a subject on which we should only disagree unprofitably. Marian kept silence for a moment, then said in a low, unsteady voice: 'It is perhaps because we never speak of that subject that we are so far from understanding each other.
I spent several days, most unprofitably, in B. which I might have spent usefully in H. But this is the way things are done in the army, sometimes; in the Chaplains' Department generally. And "'Tis but in vain for soldiers to complain." I fully expected to make a bad start on my new journey. Having been fussed I was irritable.
Sir Oliver marked her amazement and answered it with an easy laugh. "The time is short, you see, and already we have wasted half an hour of it unprofitably. . . . These fellows appear to be working well." She gazed at the moving gangs as one who, having come by surprise upon a hive of bees, stands still and cons the small creatures at work. "But what is the meaning of it?" "The meaning?
That is one of the deep sayings which children think flat, and which young men, and even young women, despise; and which a middle-aged man hears with a certain troubled surprise, and wonders if there is not something in it after all; and which old people discover to be true, and think with a sad regret of opportunities missed, and of years devoted, how unprofitably, to other kinds of usefulness!
A year and a half had passed since Charles's great affliction, and the time had not been unprofitably spent either by himself or his friend. Both had read very regularly, and Sheffield had gained the Latin verse into the bargain.

Talbot, who saw with amazement the rapidity of this triumph, and the disgrace of his own defeat, was ready to die with jealousy and spite; yet he thought it would be more to his credit to die than to vent those passions unprofitably; and shielding himself under a feigned indifference, he kept at a distance to view how far such an extravagant prepossession would proceed.
It would be safe to say there is not half a supply; that every sort of inducement will be held out to get labor away from present situations; that the inclination of all who are unincumbered is, to get to the city and its neighborhood. Every planter has some already there, living most unprofitably. I have half a dozen, some under the agreement of the present year.
The age of peace has been heralded in by the songs of Burns and Lady Nairne, the authoress of The Land o' the Leal, who has done much to restore the taste for our beautiful old melodies, by wedding them to pure and appropriate verse. In such pursuits, Mainzer by this time dubbed doctor by a German university passed five years very pleasantly, but, in a worldly point of view, very unprofitably.
All that is original in us, and therefore fairly creditable or discreditable to us, can be covered up and hidden by the point of a cambric needle, all the rest being atoms contributed by, and inherited from, a procession of ancestors that stretches back a billion years to the Adam-clam or grasshopper or monkey from whom our race has been so tediously and ostentatiously and unprofitably developed.
