The character's a variant on any of those that have been discovered so far. And as for this waxy stuff spread over the talc, it's unique. It's some sort of a mineral, I think: perhaps asphalt. It doesn't scratch up like animal wax. I'll analyse that later. Why they once invented it, and then let such a splendid notion drop out of use, is just a marvel. I could stay gloating over this all day."
But then she's so amiable she never minds anything. It's just her character. She's always been that way since she was a little child; always the same to everybody, high and low. I think character's the most important thing in the world, after all, don't you, Mr. Russell?" "Yes," he said, solemnly; and touched his bedewed white forehead with a handkerchief.
Canby, I accepted your play because it has got quite a fair situation in the third act, and because I thought I saw a chance in it to keep some of the strength of 'Roderick Hanscom' and yet make him lovable." "But, great heavens! if you make him lovable the character's ruined. Besides, the audience won't want to see him lose the girl at the end and 'Donald Grey' get her!"
My character's in as bad case up there thanks to those men! My husband has lost his "golden Riette." When you see beneath the bandage! He will have the right to put me away. His "beauty of beauties"! I'm fit only to dress as a page-boy and run at his heels. My hero! my poor dear! He thinking I cared for nothing but amusement, flattery.
Well, I mean to say, I couldn't play a bally Scotchman!" Mr Pilkington groaned in spirit. Of all the characters in his musical fantasy on which he prided himself, that of Lord Finchley was his pet. And he had been burked, murdered, blotted out, in order to make room for a bally Scotchman! "The character's called 'The McWhustle of McWhustle' now!" said Freddie sombrely. The McWhustle of McWhustle!
Dryfoos turned his large, mild eyes upon Beaton, and laughed with the uneasy concession which people make to a character when they do not quite approve of the character's language. "What Mr. March and I are trying to do is to carry on this thing so that there won't be any money in it or very little; and we're planning to give the public a better article for the price than it's ever had before.
"Her character's the most extraordinary thing in all the world," Sir Claude stated to Mrs. Beale. "Oh I know all about that sort of thing!" she fairly bridled with the knowledge. It gave Maisie somehow a sudden sense of responsibility from which she sought refuge. "Well, you've got it too, 'that sort of thing' you've got the fatal gift: you both really have!" she broke out. "Beauty of character?
I told him it would be better for his character's sake for him to say he heard of it, than to say he SAW it. Mr. J. W. Lockwood, a respectable merchant in Troy, New York, and son of the late mayor, kept two or three young women as 'helps' for his lady, last winter. The name of one is Eliza Mead, and the name of another is Catharine Dillon, a native of the county of Limerick, Ireland.
I perceived the truth at once. He had made free with the contents of my pockets, in which I had left a few gold pieces, and for his character's sake he could not afford to admit my identity. The landlord plainly mistrusted my tale, now that he had heard the evidence of the stableman, and began to assume a very different tone, and to talk cavalierly of a reference to a magistrate.
I said, "you think it's worse, then, than it used to be?" He smiled; in that smile there was a shade of patronage. "We're going down-hill as fast as ever we can. National character's losing all its backbone. No wonder, with all this molly-coddling going on!" "Oh!" I murmured, "molly-coddling? Isn't that excessive?" "Well! Look at the way everything's being done for them!
