THEIR PILGRIMAGE

Act of eating is apt to be disenchanting

Air of endurance that fathers of families put on

Anxiously asked at every turn how he likes it

As much by what they did not say as by what they did say

Asked Mr King if this was his first visit

Beautifully regular and more satisfactorily monotonous

Best part of a conversation is the things not said

Comfort of leaving same things to the imagination

Common attitude of the wholesale to the retail dealer

Confident opinions about everything

Couldn't stand this sort of thing much longer

Designed by a carpenter, and executed by a stone-mason

Facetious humor that is more dangerous than grumbling

Fat men/women were never intended for this sort of exhibition

Feeding together in a large room must be a little humiliating

Fish, they seemed to say, are not so easily caught as men

Florid man, who "swelled" in, patronizing the entire room

Hated a fellow that was always in high spirits

Irresponsibility of hotel life

It is a kind of information I have learned to dispense with

It's an occupation for a man to keep up a cottage

Let me be unhappy now and then, and not say anything about it

Live, in short, rather more for one's self than for society

Loftily condescending

Lunch was dinner and that dinner was supper

Man in love is poor company for himself and for everybody else

Nearsighted, you know, about seeing people that are not

Not to care about anything you do care about

Notion of duty has to account for much of the misery in life

People who haven't so many corners as our people have

People who leave home on purpose to grumble

Pet dogs of all degrees of ugliness

Satisfy the average taste without the least aid from art

Seemed only a poor imitation of pleasure

Shrinking little man, whose whole appearance was an apology

Small frame houses hopelessly decorated with scroll-work

So many swearing colors

Thinking of themselves and the effect they are producing

Vanishing shades of an attractive and consolable grief

Women are cruelest when they set out to be kind

Wore their visible exclusiveness like a garment

Young ones who know what is best for the elders
