It was a good-enough idea. He couldn't leave a thing like that wandering about the States. He could play benefactor safely in a house of the size of this until he was ready for action." The duke gave a moment to considering the matter still detachedly. "It is, on the whole, not unlikely that something of the sort might suggest itself to the criminal mind," he said. And his glance at Mr.
But, allowing that Maitland's actions had been based upon motives vague to the burglar's understanding, it was quite in the scheme of possibilities that he should have arranged to meet his protegee at the restaurant that afternoon. Well and good: once before, within the past two hours, he had told himself that he was Good-enough Maitland. He would be even better now....
The consequence is that, in compromising the integrity of his work, he necessarily builds his own practice upon a shifting foundation. His work belongs to the well-populated class of the good-enough. It can have little distinctive excellence; and it cannot, by its peculiar force and quality, attract a clientele.
"Alas! alas! It is too true! Clearly the Holy Ghost will none of him. Speak to us of him no more!" So Aldrovandi's chance was gone, and Albani found the means of uniting the necessary number of voices on Lambertini, a good-enough sort of man, by all accounts, but hardly of the wood from which popes are or should be made.
Wayne, Arliss, and the rest of the administration had counted on self-interest holding most of the cops loyal to them. They'd been wrong. Legal forces already controlled about half the city. "So?"

And when your attention is attracted to one of these men, follow him up and find out just what sort of soil and fertilizer he needs to grow fastest.
"Why, that's what everybody cries," exclaimed Ned, who was now driven almost to desperation. "My dear uncle, do look like yourself and exercise some of your wonted sagacity. Just glance round at the cave and the company, all made of gold, and look at me gold too, if not pinchbeck, but I'm not a good-enough judge of metals to tell which. What has done it, uncle?

I explained, and I read aloud the bit that had struck my fancy. His letter was on his mind. But Adela was truly delighted. "Oh, Mary," she said. "It is lovely. And it just suits you. It suits you much better than being a Queen."
Something within him beyond reason goaded him to be up and off. He felt his hold slipping; his mind floated in an ecstasy of relaxation. His first days at the Home Farm had been good-enough days.
