I have known sensible young men turned into perfectly objectionable slovens by reading Carlyle; they thought they rendered a tribute to their master's genius by making themselves look disreputable, and they found allies to applaud them. One youth of a poetic turn saw that the sage let his hair fall over his forehead in a tangled mass.
I've got a thousand-legged worm at the head of a pismire flush, and it serves us right, for a lot of slovens. Dishes should be cleaned as often as they are used. Now let's scour our pans and commence right."
"I can find whatever I want," said the unblushing bachelor, "except money." "Siller does na bide wi' slovens! hae ye often siccan a gale o' wind in your drawer?" "Every day! Speak English!" "Aweel! How do you do? that's Ennglish! I daur say." "Jolly!" cried he, with his mouth full. Christie was now folding up and neatly arranging his clothes. "Will you ever, ever be a painter?" "I am a painter!

By all means.
She is indeed ugly and coarse. It is her magnificent attire alone which makes her admired. Why have you not given to us your most superb jewels and your richest robes? We have the air of young slovens by the side of this proud princess." "And where could I possibly have found jewels as magnificent as hers? I have none which would compare with them.
