Charondas punished those as evil men who were convicted of keeping ill company. There is nothing so unsociable and sociable as man, the one by his vice, the other by his nature.
Involuntarily making a pass with his wooden leg to guard himself as Mr Venus springs up in the emphasis of this unsociable declaration, Mr Wegg tilts over on his back, chair and all, and is rescued by that harmless misanthrope, in a disjointed state and ruefully rubbing his head. 'Why, you lost your balance, Mr Wegg, says Venus, handing him his pipe.
But I was told that ill health had made him unsociable and somewhat morose and testy, and, indeed, there was often the trace of suffering and weariness in his face.
It was my father's maxim that no man could do more than one thing well at a time especially at table; so we had contracted a habit which to strangers would have seemed even more unsociable than it really was, and gave to all our meals an air more penitential than convivial. But this day was, in reality, a festive occasion, and my father was disposed to be more than usually agreeable.
It was annoying to one who had never known an unsatisfied whim; but Kirk was of a peculiarly sanguine temperament that required much to ruffle, and looked upon the whole matter as a huge joke. It was this, perhaps, that enabled him to make friends in spite of his unsociable habits, for the men liked him. As for the women, he avoided them religiously, with the exception of Mrs.
Our morning meal was more unsociable than usual. I was too much annoyed to speak, and my father too preoccupied. I longed to inquire after the Chevalier, but not choosing to break the silence, hurried through my breakfast that I might run round to the Red Lion immediately after.
So he rejected the counsel of those that would have him utterly destroy the nation, by reason of their way of living, which was to others unsociable, and did not regard what they said.
"I always go to the Ship," he said. "No, thank you, I won't go up stairs." "You are a most unsociable sort of brute?" said Lavender frankly. "Will you take a glass of sherry?" "No, thank you." "Will you have a game of billiards?" "No, thank you. You don't mean to say you would play billiards on such a day as this?"
I would not have you unsociable, or morose, or inhospitable; but " "I understand, Lady Desmond; but when young men are together, one cannot always control them." "But you will try. Say that you will try because I have asked you." He promised that he would, and then went his way, proud in his heart at this solicitude.
Sociability, indulgence, humanity, those first virtues of all morality, are totally incompatible with religious prejudices. Every national religion is calculated to make man vain, unsociable, and wicked; the first step towards humanity is to permit every one peaceably to embrace the mode of worship and opinions, which he judges to be right.
