The grand walks, the two piers, the aquarium, and all the great sights which are shown to strangers deserve full attention from the tourist who writes for other travellers, but none of these things seem to me so interesting as what we saw and heard in a little hamlet which has never, so far as I know, been vulgarized by sightseers. We drove in an open carriage, Mr. and Mrs.
For now the murder indeed is out, and you have discovered already that Ruim his dim, mysterious Ruim is only just the commonplace, vulgarized Isle of Thanet. Still, it is not without cause that I have ventured to call it by that strange and now almost forgotten old-world name.
And thus culture begets a dissatisfaction which is of the highest possible value in stemming the common tide of men's thoughts in a wealthy and industrial community, and which saves the future, as one may hope, from being vulgarized, even if it cannot save the present.
"Americanized?" the middle western eyebrows went up, and possibly the middle western voice flinched a little. But the wise dowager from Bridgeport, Connecticut, living in Paris on New York Central bonds, continued bitterly: "Yes, Americanized and vulgarized. The continental mistress system is not the nasty arrangement that you middle class Americans think it is.
"The Squire's Daughter" is really a very pretty piece, with some delightful melody running through it; but that fellow has vulgarized it into the lowest burlesque." "What does it matter to you, Leo?" Nina said. "What he does is separate from you. He cannot vulgarize your singing."
It traverses the most affecting regions of the world, and describes no one of them: the Troad and we get only his childish raptures over Pope's "Homer's Iliad"; Stamboul and he recounts the murderous services rendered by the Golden Horn to the Assassin whose serail, palace, council chamber, it washes; Cairo but the Plague shuts out all other thoughts; Jerusalem but Pilgrims have vulgarized the Holy Sepulchre into a Bartholomew Fair.

The real discomforts to Rose were not the material ones. The piece had been, as she discovered during the one rehearsal she had attended in Chicago, deliberately cheapened and vulgarized for the road.
The doctor here will bear me out that on one occasion I tried to kill him for the purpose of strengthening my vital powers by the assimilation with my own body of his life through the medium of his blood, relying of course, upon the Scriptural phrase, 'For the blood is the life. Though, indeed, the vendor of a certain nostrum has vulgarized the truism to the very point of contempt.
Try to think that civilized nations exist to whom this food is unknown nay, who speak of it, on hearsay, with contempt! Such critics, little as they suspect it, never ate a potato in their lives. What they have swallowed under that name was the vegetable with all its exquisite characteristics vulgarized or destroyed.
If he is rich enough to keep his own carriage, or if he will pay the extra price of a vehicle not vulgarized by being on the numbered list, he may drive anywhere that his Grace or his Lordship does, and perhaps have a mean sense of satisfaction at finding himself in the charmed circle of exclusive "gigmanity."
