There was nothing fawning in his attitude; he conducted himself with the dignity of a fallen monarch. "When you speak to me," he said, "it is as if you addressed all the nations of the west." In making peace he submitted not to the will of the British but to that of the Great Spirit, whose will it was that there should be peace.
"Yes, miss everything. The cart has already taken the heavy luggage to the station. All you'll have to do is to see after your bags." "That's all right. Show M. du Buit and his brother in," said Germaine. She moved to a chair near the window, and disposed herself in an attitude of studied, and obviously studied, grace.
Half a mile down the harbour lay the Adventurer and, nearer at hand, the Follow Me. But what was of more present interest to Perry was a group of figures on the opposite beach. They appeared to be seated and there was that in their attitude which, even at this distance, told of dejection. So, reflected Perry, might have looked a group of marooned sailors.
Bailey hesitated. The first time frenzy had left him, and he was beginning to be a little ashamed of himself for having expressed his views in a manner which, though satisfying, was, he felt, less dignified than he could have wished. He looked at Kirk, who was standing stiffly by the door. Something in his attitude decided Bailey to leave well alone.
Karl Kautsky writes: "That which under these circumstances, was most immediate and pressing in determining the attitude to war, not only for the masses, but also many of our leaders, was the fear of a hostile invasion, the urgent necessity to keep the enemy out of our territory, no matter what the causes, object or results of the war may be.
You will forgive me for going into a dead and buried issue for this once; but I knew your nature, and it was obvious to me that you were torturing yourself because you felt that you had done a wrong to me." Bettina caught her breath suddenly, and covered her face with her hands. "Is it not so?" he said. But she could not speak. The shrinking anguish of her whole attitude was her only answer.
Upon these points I cannot appeal, as I have appealed for other confirmations, to the old newspapers; these were the things that no one wrote about because every one understood and every one had taken up an attitude. There were in England and America, and indeed throughout the world, two great informal divisions of human beings the Secure and the Insecure.
"That's so. I like shootin'. What's that?" The girl had secured her horse, Bill was in the act of securing his. Jacky raised her hand in an attitude of attention and turned her face to windward. Bill stood erect and listened. "Ah! it's the boys. Baptiste said they would come." There was a faint rustling of grass near by. Jacky's keen ears had detected the stealing sound at once.
Standing, however, being a tiresome attitude to a gentleman already fatigued with walking, and the dwarf being one of that kind of persons who usually make themselves at home, he soon cast his eyes upon a chair, into which he skipped with uncommon agility, and perching himself on the back with his feet upon the seat, was thus enabled to look on and listen with greater comfort to himself, besides gratifying at the same time that taste for doing something fantastic and monkey-like, which on all occasions had strong possession of him.
Raids and reprisals grew apace. The English were by no means always lambs in piteous contrast to the Papal wolves. Rather, it might be said, they took a motto from this true Russian proverb: 'Make yourself a sheep and you'll find no lack of wolves. But, rightly or wrongly, the general English view was that the Papal attitude was one of attack while their own was one of defence.
