Why, sir, if you wished me to hate you, you could do no better and I do not wish to hate any one. I wish to have as many friends as we may, here in this new country; but for remembering why, I can remember nothing else, day or night, but Louisburg!" "You stood so," said Franklin, doggedly and fatuously, "just as you did last night. You were leaning on the arm of your mother "
"But is it possible," Lanyard protested, "you still do not understand me? Is it possible you still believe I am a thief at heart and interested in those jewels only to turn them to my own profit?" He stared unbelievingly at the frosty eyes of Monk beneath their fatuously stubborn brows, at the hard, unyielding eyes of Phinuit. "You said it," this last replied with brevity.
He lived in the reflecting lustre of his friend, walked constantly under his umbrella, wore his boots, gilded himself with his rays. When he posed in Henri's company or walked at his side, he had the air of saying: "Don't insult us, we are real dogs." He often permitted himself to remark fatuously: "If I were to ask Henri for such and such a thing, he is a good enough friend of mine to do it."
A pair of lonely, half-obscured platform lights gleamed fatuously at the top of their icy posts at each end of the station; two or three frost-encrusted windows glowed dully in the side of the building, while one shone brightly where the operator sat waiting for the passing of No. 33. The train itself was dark.
Men show no such sagacious apprehension of the relatively feeble loveliness of the human frame. The most effective lure that a woman can hold out to a man is the lure of what he fatuously conceives to be her beauty. This so-called beauty, of course, is almost always a pure illusion.
Murphy knew the glad tidings knew them, in fact, the very instant the boy's shining countenance appeared above the rail. The skipper was grinning fatuously and Mr. Murphy grinned back at him. "Well, sir," he greeted young Matt, "I see you're the permanent skipper. I congratulate you." "Thank you, Mike. And I hope you will have no objection to continuing in your berth as first mate.
At the table of Aunt Belle, in his presence she was accustomed to sit largely silent. There was no place for her, and she would have shuddered to have held a place, in that society for mutual admiration. She sat apart. He would smile towards her and, fatuously anxious to please, offer some remark that might draw her into the conversation. She never would be so drawn.
Nevertheless, as an hour slipped away and Louise did not make her appearance, either on the veranda or in the little sitting-room off the hall, Mainwaring became more uneasy as to the incompleteness of their interview. Perhaps a faint suspicion of the inadequacy of her response began to trouble him; but he still fatuously regarded it rather as owing to his own hurried and unfinished declaration.
The small segment of the world that knew the Poles might think so, hearing how Larry had gone into Wall Street and fatuously left there his own small fortune, and later, going back after his lesson, had lost what he could of his wife's property. To be sure, after that first "ill luck," Margaret's eyes had opened to the fact that her husband was not "practical," was easily led by vanity.
He was impatient to get to the office and see just how she would do it what absurd, amusing attractive child's trick she would think out, imagining she could fool him, as lesser intelligences are ever fatuously imagining they can outwit greater. But eleven o'clock of a wasted morning came and she did not appear.
