You have refused the cruise which I have accepted. I expect you were right. No doubt one might get terribly bored on a yacht, unable to get away from people. I almost wonder that I dared to say 'Yes!" "Where are you going to sit, Charmian?" said Mrs. Mansfield. "Dearest mother, I'm afraid I must go upstairs. I've got to try on coats and skirts." She turned toward Heath. "The voyage, you know.
No doubt a great deal of cruelty lies to the charge of husbands who are out night after night, leaving their wives already weary after a day's heavy work to sit bored and alone, while they enjoy the company of their male friends, or hunt after their favorite pleasures. It is quite right that wives should refuse to tolerate such treatment.
I was not surprised, of course, that he had proved to be a poor, even a downright worthless military man and soldier; but what I had not expected was, that he had displayed no special bravery; that in battle he wore a dejected and languid aspect, as though he were partly bored, partly daunted. He was ready to exterminate himself in any sort of way at any time.... But others no.
Philip, who was sitting and staring in an abstracted way at the empty fireplace with a light behind him, turned quickly round as he heard the footstep. "Oh! it's you, is it, Heigham? I suppose Angela has gone upstairs; she goes to roost very early. I hope that she has not bored you, and that old Pigott hasn't talked your head off.
Proud of his celebrity without approving of his character. It was on that account, I strongly suspect, that he seized with avidity upon the theory of poetical genius being allied to madness, which he got hold of in some idiotic book everybody was reading a few years ago.

"We'll call it mutual, Miss Leffingwell," declared Joshua, which was for him the height of gallantry. "I only hope he hasn't bored you," said the good-natured Mrs. Joshua.

He never bothered himself to amuse his guests, and so they never bored him. He never let them. He made them at home; put his people and his horses at their service; and preserved his even tenor.

Nina turned and moved the cups on the little tray. She did not, however, seem embarrassed. "I happen to be engaged to-morrow evening," she said coldly at length. "Is it important?" he asked.
