The high-priest had rejected Philometor's demand that he should send the water-bearer to the palace on King Euergetes' birthday, with a decisiveness which Eulaeus would never have given him credit for, for he had on former occasions shown a disposition to measures of compromise; while Zoe had not even seen the waterbearer.
You can see how it would be. I suppose her mind keeps harking back, going over things, you know; and here you are on the same street, as you might say." "No," said Jeff, stupidly, as if that were the case in point, "it isn't the same street." He withdrew his hand from the pillar now with a decisiveness that indicated he had got to depend on his muscles at once, and started down the steps.
Furthermore his lack of resoluteness, decisiveness and courage is not, as he mentions, the result of his myopia but of his neurosis. He has developed himself, out of an unconscious rivalry, in direct contrast to his intensely narrow-minded father. The latter was only a tradesman, who set his comfort above everything, for whom art had value only in so far as it increased his own enjoyment of life.
"I suppose so, they are such great friends; only; drudgery? She likes Miss Bocock. She likes gardening," Mary's breath was almost taken away by his tense decisiveness. "She likes Sir Basil better"; Jack said it in the freest manner, a manner that left untouched any deeper knowledge that they might both be in possession of. "Imogen likes him better, too.

That darned Chinaman wouldn't come with me," he added, with a laugh, "because, he said, he'd knocked off work 'allee same, Mellican man! Look here, Slinn," he said, with a sudden decisiveness, "my pay-roll of the men around here don't run short of a hundred and fifty dollars a day, and yet I couldn't get a hand to help me bring this truck over for my Christmas dinner."
Of course, I've never asked any questions, and I've hushed up everybody at Octavius who tried to quiz me about it his disappearance and my packing up and leaving, and all that and I've never discussed the question with you but " "No, and there's no good going into it now," put in Sister Soulsby, with amiable decisiveness. "It's all past and gone.

"I have felt it, though, about other people. About two or three of the boys over there, you know. They were the ones I knew rather well.
The promptness and quiet decisiveness of Jean's answer amazed him. "Yes, M'sieur, I am. But the shot was not for you. It was intended for the master of Adare House.

This is M'sieur Adare's old room, and the bullet was intended for him.
