"That hellish sister of yours still keeps us like beggars. Our only hope was you, our own boy. And now you only come to to go again." "But SHE has money; SHE'S doing well, and SHE shall give it to me," he went on, angrily. "She can't bully me with her business airs and morality. Who else has got a right to share, if it is not her own brother?" Alas for the fatuousness of human malevolence!
The commonest mistake we make is that we spread our intercourse over a mass, and have no depth of heart left. We lament that we have no stanch and faithful friend, when we have really not expended the love which produces such. We want to reap where we have not sown, the fatuousness of which we should see as soon as it is mentioned.
The message was received on July fourth, politely, but with scant response to its ideas. During two weeks, while Congress in its fatuousness thought that the battle impending in Virginia would settle things, the majority in Congress would not give assent to Lincoln's view of what the war was about. And then came Bull Run. In a flash the situation changed.
As I did so I was struck not more by the defences with which they were hedged about, than by the fatuousness of trying to hedge that in at all which, if hedged thoroughly, must die of its own defencefulness.
Martin could not tell till she had heard from Swithin. It depended upon what he had decided to do on the day of his leaving England. Lady Constantine bade the old people good-bye, and dragged her weary limbs homeward. The fatuousness of forethought had seldom been evinced more ironically.
As he moved forward and left the road for the closecropped grass of the lawn, he saw a dim white shadow advancing obliquely in his direction. And, for an instant, his heartbeats quickened, ever so slightly. Then, he was disgusted with his own fatuousness. For the white form was double the size of Claire Standish. And he knew this was her brother, crossing from the garage to a door of the house.
No one faction was strong enough to be their stand-by. Only by a combination of issues and a coalition of factions could they build up an anti-Lincoln party, check-mate the Administration, and get control of the government. They were greatly assisted by the fatuousness of the Democrats. That party was in a peculiar situation.
"Messieurs," he lisped, with that fatuousness he affected, and with his eye fixed coldly upon Chatellerault, "I have a toast for you." He rose carefully to his feet he had arrived at that condition in which to move with care is of the first importance. He shifted his eye from the Count to his glass, which stood half empty. He signed to a lacquey to fill it. "To the brim, gentlemen," he commanded.
Gardner, we excuse ourselves to you. I cannot pretend to be sorry that my friend's somewhat impetuous entrance has disturbed your plans for the evening, but I do hope that you will realize now the fatuousness of such methods in these days. Good-night! It is time we finished our stroll together, Tavernake." They moved towards the door there was no one to stop them.
I suspect you, Geoffrey, I protest. There's a misty fatuousness about it which " "By your leave, sir," a servant appeared, "my lady waits dinner." "Then I fear we shall pay for it," said Hadley, and stood up. "You dine with us, Charles?" Mr. Waverton was not hearty about it. "I'll give you that pleasure, child. Well, Mr. Boyce, what do you make of my mystery?" Harry had to say something.
