"But I am really," she protested. "I really am. I was married last year. I was Emily Fox-Seton. Perhaps you remember." She was not flighty or indignant. Her frank face was only a little more troubled than it had been before. She looked straight into his eyes without a doubt of his presently believing her. Good heavens! if She walked to the writing-table and picked up a number of letters.
It should seem that Louvois had originally sketched the design, and had bequeathed it, still rude, to his son and successor Barbesieux. By Barbesieux the plan was perfected. The execution was entrusted to an officer named Grandval. Grandval was undoubtedly brave, and full of zeal for his country and his religion. He was indeed flighty and half witted, but not on that account the less dangerous.
Will you have to cut them, too?" "If I cut the grass, I will," Emil said teasingly. "What's the matter with you? What makes you so flighty?" "Am I flighty? I suppose that's the wet season, too, then. It's exciting to see everything growing so fast, and to get the grass cut! Please leave the roses till last, if you must cut them.
"It matters little whether you do or not. He is my sister's child, and is under my charge. I thought fit to place him with Mr. Joel Barton, of Scipio, but the boy, who is flighty, was induced to run away with Barton's son, a lazy, shiftless fellow." "Supposing this to be so, Mr. Ford, what is your object in calling?" "To reclaim him. It does not suit me to leave him here."
Archie respected; active, practical, unruffled; goodhumored, but determined. Exactly the sort of woman to take care of a flighty preacher. She had brought her husband some property, too, one fourth of her father's broad acres in Nebraska, but this she kept in her own name. She had profound respect for her husband's erudition and eloquence.
At the end of the three years Marjory played him a sad trick by suddenly marrying somebody else. Will kept his countenance bravely, and merely remarked that, for as little as he knew of women, he had acted very prudently in not marrying her himself three years before. She plainly knew very little of her own mind, and, in spite of a deceptive manner, was as fickle and flighty as the rest of them.
She's as wild as a hawk and as as flighty as a humming-bird, since this money came. She's so crazy with joy and excited." "What if she is?" challenged Mr. Smith, looking suddenly very happy himself. "Youth is the time for joy and laughter; and I'm sure I'm glad she is taking a little pleasure in life." Mrs. Blaisdell frowned again. "But, Mr.
Later, I wanted to throw everything to the winds to enter politics and revolutionise society by working for a party which has never even existed, a German-Social party. I leave you to judge how flighty I was and how much talent I had for art. But I love art, with a love stronger, I think, now than ever before, because everything in the world beside art has become problematical to me.
As we have said, "Northanger Abbey" speaks a wise word against the abuse of emotionalism; it tells of the experiences of a flighty Miss, bred on the "Mysteries of Udolpho" style of literature, during a visit to a country house where she imagined all the medieval romanticism incident to that school of fiction, aided and abetted by such innocuous helps as a storm without and a lonesome chamber within doors.
I am not a "flighty, flashy girl," but I crossed the city the other night in a horse-car in which there were twenty men and two women one of them being myself. I stood, while the score of men sat and lounged comfortably behind their newspapers. They were tired after a hard day's work, and would have been wearied still more by standing.
