ONE OF OUR CONQUERORS, V1 [GM#77][GM77V10.TXT]4471

Admiration of an enemy or oppressor doing great deeds

Aristocratic assumption of licence

But what is it we do (excepting cricket, of course)

Consent of circumstances

Continued trust in the man--is the alternative of despair

Critical fashion of intimates who know as well as hear

Despises hostile elements and goes unpunished

Dithyrambic inebriety of narration

Feminine; coming when she willed and flying when wanted

Fire smoothes the creases

Frankness as an armour over wariness

Half a dozen dozen left

Hard to bear, at times unbearable

Haremed opinion of the unfitness of women

He neared her, wooing her; and she assented

He never acknowledged a trouble, he dispersed it

He prattled, in the happy ignorance of compulsion

He sinks terribly when he sinks at all

Heathen vindictiveness declaring itself holy

If we are really for Nature, we are not lawless

In bottle if not on draught (oratory)

In the pay of our doctors

Intrusion of hard material statements, facts

Kelts, as they are called, can't and won't forgive injuries

Man with a material object in aim, is the man of his object

Nature and Law never agreed

Nature's logic, Nature's voice, for self-defence

Next door to the Last Trump

Obeseness is the most sensitive of our ailments

Once out of the rutted line, you are food for lion and jackal

One wants a little animation in a husband

People of a provocative prosperity

Self-deceiver may be a persuasive deceiver of another

She was not his match--To speak would be to succumb

Slap and pinch and starve our appetites

Smallest of our gratifications in life could give a happy tone

Smothered in its pudding-bed of the grotesque (obesity)

Snuffle of hypocrisy in her prayer

State of feverish patriotism

Statistics are according to their conjurors

Subterranean recess for Nature against the Institutions of Man

Tale, which leaves the man's mind at home

The effects of the infinitely little

The old confession, that we cannot cook(The English)

They do not live; they are engines

They helped her to feel at home with herself

Thought of differences with him caused frightful apprehensions

Unshamed exuberant male has found the sweet reverse in his mate

We cannot relinquish an idea that was ours

We've all a parlous lot too much pulpit in us
