If it hadn't been for this ankle but it seems to be my chest that's hurt and side not that it matters, you know; the Sophomore's just as good, or better. It's only my egotism. Yes, it must be the side and chest and head all over, I believe.
What struck me most was the absence of egotism in what he wrote. He asked the Vicar one or two questions, and desired to know who I was. I went and sate down beside him; he wrote in his book that it was a pleasure to him to meet a stranger. Might he take the liberty of seeing him in his own way?
She felt for him an admiring affection and she was sorry that she had nothing more than affection. Cy Bogart was the spectacular warrior of the town. Cy was no longer the weedy boy who had sat in the loft speculating about Carol's egotism and the mysteries of generation.
The access of self-pity was followed, as always, by a persistent sense of intolerable wrong, and that again by a fierce desire to plunge herself into ruin, as though by such act she could satiate her instincts of defiance. It is a phase of exasperated egotism common enough in original natures frustrated by circumstance never so pronounced as in those who suffer from the social disease.
I shall rest till then, but I want particularly to talk with you. There will be no one else not the tip of any tiresome nose. You'll do me good." So of course he drove up at six. "I don't know; I haven't the least idea; I don't care; don't ask me!" it was so he met some immediate appeal of her artistic egotism, some challenge of his impression of her at this and that moment.
We spent a sweeter night than before, for it is often a matter of some difficulty to pluck the first flower; and the price which most men put on this little trifle is founded more on egotism than any feeling of pleasure. Next day, after dining with the family and admiring the roses on my sweetheart's cheeks, I returned to Paris.
He is, however, patriotic because with unconscious egotism he regards his Country as part of himself rather than himself as part of his Country. Even the act of a man who sacrifices his life for the good of his country may not be wholly unselfish, for some natures are so constituted that they can discount the future and be gratified by the prospective award of posthumous honour.
They were his young days beautiful and wicked days of clear, rich tints, and sanguine throbbings, and gloria mundi when we fancy the spirit perfect, and the body needs no redemption when, fresh from the fountains of life, death is but a dream, and we walk the earth like heathen gods and goddesses, in celestial egotism and beauty. Oh, fair youth! gone for ever.
Nevertheless, there smouldered in his eyes the hint of another thought, a suggestion of the artist's fierce egotism, the desire to fulfil his purpose no matter at whose cost, the willingness to commit crime rather than surrender his life purpose. It was the complement of the Russian's "will to eat," only deeper, more impersonal, and more tragic.
Clarence Hervey's packet contained a history of his connexion with Virginia St. Pierre. To save our hero from the charge of egotism, we shall relate the principal circumstances in the third person.
