The great beauties look bored, and some of them have their faces painted and the air of wearing transformations; but not one of the charming women driving up and down Bellevue Avenue that afternoon looked bored, and hardly any were painted. I never saw people appear to be so delighted with life, and so thoroughly alive, as if the glorious sea air were frothing in their veins, like champagne.
He tried to interest him by talking about the function of the day before. A great success; the papers spoke of him and his speech, declaring that he was a great writer and could win as marked a success in literature as in art. Had he not read them? Renovales answered with a bored expression. He had found them, when he went out in the morning, on a table in the reception-room.
"Yes, they are always busy about something, the little rogues!" said the mothers; and they quite beamed with maternal pride; but the beetle felt bored by that, and therefore he inquired how far it was to the nearest muck-heap.

This gentleman of music whose fingers have for twenty years absorbed the souls of Beethoven and Sarasate, Liszt and Moussorgski, this aristocrat of the catgut is posturing sardonically before the three bored fates. He is pouring twenty years, twenty well-spent years, into a tawdry little ballad. Ah, how our baron's fiddle sings!
I know an American as soon as I see him and so I speak to him and make his acquaintance. I like to be always making acquaintances don't you?" "Lord, yes!"

Accordingly, after we had finished one portfolio, I offered, if she desired it, to desist. I felt that she was not bored, but her reticence puzzled me, and I wished to make her speak. I turned round to look at her, and saw that there was a faint flush in each of her cheeks. She was waving her little fan to and fro.
Lady Garnett was overheard to murmur into the black ear of Mefistofèle that it always rained. "But on the whole yes, I was rather bored," the girl continued abruptly. "The rain and the round games and the people?" Rainham echoed. "You have my sympathy." "I believe I rather liked the round games," said Mary, with a little laugh.
