He say's it's not fair play in any one that's so deep read in the larnin' as he is, to ate like a vulgarian, or to peel his phaties wid his fingers, an' him knows so much Latin an' Greek; an' my sowl to happiness but he'll stick to the gintlemanly way of livin', so far as the beef, an' mutton, and tay is consamed." "He will!
Poor people, how they must hate me in advance, and what a vulgarian they must think me to be." "Jawkins says that it is a recognized system, papa, you remember," answered Maggie. "After all, if you wish a great tenor or a violin-player at your parties, you pay them for it. If you wish a duke to awe or a beauty to charm your guests, why should you not hire them? This is a commercial age.
"Really," she answered, "there isn't anything so very conspicuous about having had a grandfather." "No," her hostess echoed, "even I, so well and favorably known for my vulgarity even I had a grandfather." "But he wasn't a connoisseur in tapestries, Minnie darling." "No, but he was in pigs, the dear vulgarian."
Let us be grateful that Hawthorne does not so covet the applause of the clever club-man or of the unconscious vulgarian, as to junket about in caravan, carrying the passions with him in gaudy cages, and feeding them with raw flesh; grateful that he never loses the archangelic light of pure, divine, dispassionate wrath, in piercing the dragon!
"There's not really a particle of difference between an under-housemaid and a super-lady when it comes to a good-looking man." "Dick, you're a great painter, but you're also a great vulgarian!" "Well, my father was a national schoolmaster and my mother was a butcher's daughter. I can't help my vernacular.
'Ah, THEN! said he, 'there is some small mistake, no doubt, and I must ask you to what I am indebted for this pleasure? He was by this time on the deck, but he had the art to be quite unapproachable; the friendliest vulgarian, three parts drunk, would have known better than take liberties; and not one of the adventurers so much as offered to shake hands.
"Yes, Judge Rossmore is such a man. He is one of the few men in American public life who takes his duties seriously. In the strictest sense of the term, he serves his country instead of serving himself. I am no friend of his, but I must do him that justice." He spoke sharply, in an irritated tone, as if resenting the insinuation of this vulgarian that every man in public life had his price.
I don't want to have any misunderstanding." There was no telephone in the library of Moyne House. Clithering had to ring for a servant who led him off to another room. Godfrey seized the opportunity of his absence to confide in me. "Poor old Clithering is a bit of a bounder," he said. "Makes stockings, you know, Excellency. And Lady Clithering is a fat vulgarian.
Yet here, in this letter from Lady Ormsby, are all the particulars: and a blacksmith is found to be Earl of Glenthorn, and takes possession of Glenthorn castle, and all the estates. And the man is married, to some vulgarian of course: and he has a son, and may have half a hundred, you know; so there is an end of our hopes; and there is an end too of all my fine schemes for Cecilia."
And there was a resounding knock at the inner door, even as I flung it open upon a special evening edition of Mr. Daniel Levy, a resplendent figure with a great stud blazing in a frilled shirt, white waistcoat and gloves, opera-hat and cigar, and all the other insignia of a nocturnal vulgarian about town. "May I come in?" said he with unctuous affability. "May you!" I took it upon myself to shout.
