There are, indeed, mannerists enough; and we mean not here to use the word in its reprehensive sense but they stand more alone.

Hence, it sent Bering one message after the other reprehensive of his course.

But the fact remains that office brokerage is here held in reprehensive scorn and professional office-seeking in contempt.
