You were wonderful you were beautiful, as I've had the honour of telling you before; but, if you wish really to know," she sadly confessed, "I never quite knew WHERE you were. There were moments," she explained, "when you struck me as grandly cynical; there were others when you struck me as grandly vague." Her friend considered. "I had phases. I had flights." "Yes, but things must have a basis."
Notwithstanding all I have said, it is perfectly true that Philip V. was but little troubled by the wars he made, that he was fond of enterprises, and that his passion was to be respected and dreaded, and to figure grandly in Europe. But let me now more particularly describe the Queen. This princess had much intellect and natural graces, which she knew how to put to account.
I don't hanker after such an experience. Things are pretty dry up here, so we must be careful not to let the blaze spread any." The fire was quickly a positive fact, and being fed with some small branches it leaped up grandly. In this fashion the entire neighborhood was illuminated. Frank looked around.
I hope I am not vain to quote this letter from Lady Pollock: "... Burne-Jones has been with me this afternoon: he was at 'Macbeth' last night, and you filled his whole soul with your beauty and your poetry....

"Ay, ay!" piped the little boys in chorus. "Then I'll muster you in," said Horace, grandly. "Has everybody brought their guns?
But he had the same large, soft eyes as his daughter, eyes which moved slowly and almost grandly round in their orbits, and were well veiled by their transparent white eyelids.

Sometimes people wondered that parents so handsome should have a daughter who was so far from regularly beautiful; not beautiful at all, was occasionally said.

Only to-day he stopped a row in the Fourth in two minutes which Mr Riddell couldn't have stopped if he'd stayed till now." He ran grandly for the school at the sports the other day, and licked the London fellow. I should like to know.
First were representatives from the great seminaries, the parishes, and then collegiate churches; then came the beneficed clergymen and clerks of the Cathedral, followed by the canons in white pluvials.
