3. ...he was trite, a mere mouther of convention. (î ×àðëüçå âðîäå)

2. "Charles... had more than one vocabulary."

3. "He did not think it subjectively, but objectively; here, if only some free man had the wit to see it, is a remarkable woman. The feeling was not of male envy: but very much of human loss."

4. "... he had free-willed himself most convincingly into a state of self-congratulation..."

5. "Old hearts are the most susceptible."

6. 'All those painted screens erected by man to shut out reality — histoiy, religion, duty, social position, all were illusions, mere opium fantasies."
