Tell me, I can't wait any longer." "I have quarrelled with them," he answered, staring at his mutton as though he were criticizing it.
He wished her to suppose he had set his heart on providing her with influential guidance on the threshold of a new life; and it was important that she should not begin criticizing his motives.

Ponderous men who had never done anything in all their lives, were criticizing the defects and indolence of the Republic.
