There was a great deal of dignity in his tone, more in his carriage. "Yes. I'd be caring to! Lead on, Martian!" And Lorrimer felt, after he said that, that he was a vulgarian a long-forgotten sensation. "In Mars," he commented to himself, "this young man was some kind of a prince." "What do you look over your shoulder that way for, Dick?" he asked aloud, a few blocks on their way.
"Such stolid stupidity is incredible in a land where education is compulsory!" exclaimed a friend who, having talked himself out of breath in the effort to persuade a rich vulgarian into belief of one of the simplest of philosophical principles, had the mortification of seeing that his opponent actually flattered himself with the idea that he had come off victorious in the wordy skirmish.
"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.
The ideal fearless man has many qualities. I say the Ideal Hero no imitation patch work vulgarian. These qualities are in rough detail: Devotion to God. Knowledge. Concentration. Will Power. Energy and Aspiration. Health. Self-Esteem. Self-Control. Love for Humanity. Chastity. There may be other qualities but you will do well to build up the above and others will come to you by themselves.
These Russian and Bavarian minxes were neurotic, fickle, shifting as sand; the daughters of Judæa were sane, cheerful, solid. Then he thought of his own sister married to that vulgarian, Friedland. He saw her, a rosy-cheeked girl, sitting at the Passover table, with its picturesque ritual. How happy were those far-off pious days!
No matter how fervid the lover, nor how possessed he may be by his mistress, he cannot turn out every day, even, "A halting sonnet of his own poor brain, Fashion'd to Beatrice." All this pretentious over-ornamentation is cosmeticism, the powder and paint of the vulgarian striving to conceal by a futile advertisement her lack of refinement.
The creature grinned. "I shall pay your mother's income quarterly, and do the best I can by her," he continued; "and if you want to make a man of yourself, I'll give you a chance in the bakery with me; or Sam Bratley will take you into his brewery; or Bob into his pork-packery." I checked my indignation. The vulgarian wished to drag me, a Chylde, down to the Bratley level.
He has avoided without effort the conscious artistry of Chelsea and the indifference to art of the unæsthetic vulgarian. As to the manner of his life, it is reduced to an extreme of simplicity, but his asceticism is not made the excuse for domestic carelessness.
If a particular expression does not happen to be current in the critic's own circle, he concludes that nobody uses it, and that the author is a pedant or a vulgarian.
Every one moving. Is it worth while attempting the past when there is this continual flux even in the hearts of men? Helen roused her by saying: "What a prosperous vulgarian Mr. Wilcox has grown! I have very little use for him in these days. However, he did tell us about the Porphyrion. Let us write to Mr. Bast as soon as ever we get home, and tell him to clear out of it at once."
