Omne ignotum pro magnifico, and during its month of anonymity the book was a frequent topic of appreciative comment in good literary circles. Almost coincidently with the discovery that he was a mere nobody, people began to feel that their admiration had been too hastily bestowed, and before long opinion turned all the more seriously against him for this very reason.
It formed the model for another Βίος Ἑλλαδος by a certain Jason, and for Varro's Vita Populi Romani. It was evidently appreciative. A more speculative work was his Tripoliticus, arguing that the best constitution ought to be compounded of the three species, monarchic, aristocratic, and democratic, as in Sparta. Only then would it be sure to last.
"She was looking a little pale to-day." It was obvious that he wished to talk about Fay. "She is more beautiful than ever," said Michael, willing to give his brother a leg-up. "Isn't she!" said the affianced lover expansively. "But it isn't her beauty I love most, it is her character. She is so feminine, so receptive, so appreciative of the deeper side of life, so absolutely devoted.
'She's getten' a basket wi' sausages in 'em, as my missus has made, and she's a rare hand at sausages; there's noane like her in a' t' three Ridings, I'll be bound! For Daniel could praise his wife's powers in her absence, though he did not often express himself in an appreciative manner when she was by to hear.

Jim Hill was a "day-scholar," and the pride of the master. The boy was studious, appreciative, grateful.
He did not at once reply; again she caught a suggestion of that searching look she had noted before, and after a moment the girl turned; walking to a rose-bush that partly screened one end of the balcony, she bent over the flowers. "Of course I might use my influence with my aunt to have the time allotted you, as you put it, extended. Especially as you are so appreciative!" she laughed.
It need scarcely be said that he found William Wetherell appreciative, and possessed of knowledge of Shaksperiana and other matters that astonished his host as well as pleased him. For Wetherell had found his tongue at last. After a while Mr. Duncan drew out his watch and gave a start. "By George!" he exclaimed, "it's after eight o'clock.

It was a veil woven with fine threads of appreciative and conventional gratitude. "It is!" she said decisively. "I'll be going," said the persecutor, with a grimace that seemed mixed partly of inherent bravado and partly of shame, as his pulse slowed down to normal. "As you please," answered that easy traveller. "I had no mind to exert any positive directions over your movements."
With the boyish sweetness of his looks blended a sort of appreciative shrewdness, which pointed his smiling lips slightly aslant in what seemed the expectation rather than the intention of humour.
