"They're not on any map. More's the pity. And then?" "Then we'd rest. And after that we'd climb to the Plateau Beyond the Clouds where the Fadeless Gardens are, and there..." "And there?" "There we'd hear the Undying Voices singing." "Should we sing, too?" "Of course.
Then my good man came along and I liked him better, and Jim went into service and married Oxfordshire way. But when he came to Bristol after his journey in foreign parts, 'twas natural he should come to see me; and my husband, who was always easy, would keep him a day or two more's the pity, for in twenty-four hours the child he had with him began to sicken, and died.
This entry reminds one of Hannah More's account of Mrs. Garrick's conduct after her husband's funeral. "She told me," says Mrs. More, "that she prayed with great composure, then went and kissed the dear bed, and got into it with a sad pleasure." See Memoirs of Mrs. More, vol. i. p. 135. Campbell's Turkish Lady, slightly altered.
"At least, she was your hostess, Amy." "I lent her my silk stockings or she'd have had to wear cotton ones," exclaimed Amy, laughing. "We're even." "If you were merely paying for a lodging, you should have gone to the inn." "There was nobody at the tavern who could wear my silk stockings; and I had spent all my money." "Don't you expect Kitty to return your visit? "I certainly do more's the pity.
"I have only one date with Miss Brooks to-morrow, and none at all with Miss King, more's the pity." "It's queer," said Betty reflectively. "You never can prophesy what girls men will take to. Now I should have supposed that you'd like Nita Reese and Eleanor Watson best of all the ones you've met. They're both so pretty." "That's all right," said Will severely.
I am glad he has gone." "But," said Ann, "he was her son " "Yes, more's the pity." In a day or two it was known that Peter had disappeared. The town knew very well why and discussed it at evening, when as usual the men gathered for a talk. Pole expressed the general opinion when he said, "It's hard on the old woman, but I guess it's a riddance of bad rubbish."

"Wilkes pretends to have found a continent, but his account of it makes it quite evident to my mind that he saw nothing but ice. I believe that Wilkes's antarctic continent will some day be penetrated by ships, which will sail for hundreds of miles farther south. All that is wanted is a favorable season. But mark the coincidence between Ross's report and More's manuscript.
"Yes, I told him he would. More's the pity. He is a permanent nuisance, up to any wickedness, a hopelessly ruined wild beast." "Perhaps," said Rivers; "perhaps. Who can be sure of that?" He despaired of no one. The sadly experienced doctor shook his head. "He will live to do much mischief. The good die young; you may be sure the wicked do not. In some ways the man's case has its droll side.
"You learnt that in the wars, Diggory," said Deborah, turning round, for, grumble as she might herself, she could not bear to have a word said by anyone else against her lady's family, and loved to scold her sweetheart, Diggory. "Never mind Master Walter. If he has not a penny in his pocket, and the very green coat to his back is cut out of his grandmother's farthingale, more's the pity.
