It is being in love frightfully in love, as we are. I must try and keep my head, though, and remember all the remarks of Lady Ver about things and men. Fighters all of them, and they must never feel quite sure. It will be dreadfully difficult to tease Robert, because he is so direct and simple, but I must try, I suppose.
A man who has really believed does not lose by a sudden blow the firm convictions of his soul. But when the work has been once commenced, when the first step has been taken, the pace becomes frightfully fast. Three years since his belief had been like the ardour of young love, and now what were his feelings?
Wealth rather than trade! The thing was true, and true too was my uncle's proposition that the quickest way to get wealth is to sell the cheapest thing possible in the dearest bottle. He was frightfully right after all. Pecunnia non olet, a Roman emperor said that.
Their faces frightfully contracted and grimacing, their fleshless bodies, their heads covered with serpents in the place of hair revolt our senses as much as they offend our taste.
My first thought was that he must be frightfully old. The orbits were sunk, and the thick red-lined lids hung over the eyeballs like blinds of which the cords are broken.
"I tell you I have nothing to say to you," he was stern with the suffering of restraint. She clung to him again. "Why did you say that word 'Sweetheart' then? It was your own word. Oh! Denzil, you cannot be so frightfully cruel as to leave me in uncertainty tell me the truth or I shall die!"
As if the shock had paralysed her moral resistance, and affected the firmness of her muscles, the contours of her face seemed to have given way. She was frightfully altered. She looked aged ruined. But only for a moment. She said with decision "I am going to tell my mother at once." "Would that be safe in her state?" I objected.
Terms perhaps known to August to be rash; to have been frightfully rash; but what can he now do? Archbishop thereupon gives absolution of his sins; Archbishop does, a baddish, unlikely kind of man, as August well knows. His death brought vast miseries on Poland; kindled foolish Europe generally into fighting, and gave our Crown-Prince his first actual sight and experience of the facts of War.
Then she thought of a small, trivial thing. She tapped on the partition. "Are you hungry?" she called quietly. "Frightfully." "Go and talk to Knollys. He's very nice. He'll find something for you." "N-no. I c-can't," he stammered, frightened immediately. "Then I shall," she said, and, slipping on her dressing-gown, went along to the saloon.
'Well, even if they didn't, the Old Man would be frightfully sick if he got to know about it. I'd lose my prefect's cap for a cert. 'You might, certainly. 'I should. There wouldn't be any question about it. Why, don't you remember that business last summer about Cairns? He used to stay out after lock-up. That was absolutely all he did.
