But besides these I seem to perceive another deduction, an historical fact with a practical application; to see it as the result not merely perhaps of the studies of which this book is the fruit, but of those further studies, of the subtler sides of Mediæval and Renaissance life and art which at present occupy my mind and may some day add another series of essays to this: a lesson still vague to myself, but which, satisfactorily or unsatisfactorily, I shall nevertheless attempt to explain; if indeed it requires to be brought home to the reader.
Me is getting "irksome," as Robin said. Remember to tell me the boy's name. Yours gratefully if unsatisfactorily, AUGUST FIRST. P. S. Robert Halarkenden isn't his real name. It's his grandmother's father's name, and Welsh. I don't know the real one. P. S. No. 2. If it isn't inconsistent, and if you think I'm worth while, you might pray just a scrap too. That I may get to be like you and Robin.
My absence I believed to have occasioned no alarm to my family, since they knew not of my intention to spend the night abroad. Thus unsatisfactorily terminated this night's adventures. The ensuing day was spent partly in sleep, and partly in languor and disquietude. I incessantly ruminated on the incidents of the last night. The scheme that I had formed was defeated.
It is in the hope of hitting the fancy of this motley body that there is now a tumultuous multiplication of books of every degree of merit; and amid all this din there must be redoubled difficulty of choice. Yet the selection gets itself made somehow, and not unsatisfactorily. Unworthy books may have vogue for a while, and even adulation; but their fame is fleeting.
Johnson compares him who should endeavor to recommend this poet by passages unconnectedly torn from his works, to the pedant in Hierocles, who exhibited a brick as a sample of his house. And yet how little, and how very unsatisfactorily does he himself speak of the pieces considered as a whole!
Britling was going on, and when the impersonal Mr. Britling would be thinking how unsatisfactorily his universe was going on, the whole mental process had a likeness to some complex piece of orchestral music wherein the organ deplored the melancholy destinies of the race while the piccolo lamented the secret trouble of Mrs.
Waste, waste, waste his heart, his imagination, his wife, his son, his country his automobile.... Then there flashed into his mind a last straw of disagreeable realisation. He hadn't as yet insured his automobile! He had meant to do so. The papers were on his writing-desk. Section 7 On these black nights, when the personal Mr. Britling would lie awake thinking how unsatisfactorily Mr.
He thought the blood left her face for an instant, but otherwise she showed no sign of discomposure. "How did he account for his being there?" she asked calmly. "Unsatisfactorily enough. I forget his actual excuse." "Was that all?" she demanded coldly. "I believe so. But it is hardly desirable, as your brother said, to have the man prowling about the property." For a moment she was silent.
He could not identify it, though he made several guesses, and was still speculating unsatisfactorily, when he received a startling reminder that there was a new peril at his very feet. The first notice was a faint purring sound, as if made by a gigantic cat, accompanied by a rustling of the vegetation scarcely a dozen feet away. He instantly grasped his rifle with both hands and was alert.
Throughout the sunset Anna-Felicitas sat on her rock, the same rock she had sat on so unsatisfactorily eight hours earlier, and expounded her idea. She couldn't talk fast enough. She, so slow and listless, for once was shaken into burning activity.
