The white men, however, soon found their time hang heavy in this entire seclusion, and formed a more intimate connexion with the priests, whom they assisted in the holy rites and ceremonies, and at length even made their appearance among the people: the latter then discovered them to be mortals like themselves, differing only in colour, but still retained a high respect for their superior knowledge and good deportment.
For four years she had struggled to gain an entrance in some way into Louise Whiting's intimate circle of friends, and she had ended by shutting the door on the only son of the family. And why had she ever allowed Linda to keep the runabout? It was not proper that a young girl should own a high powered car like that.
I suddenly felt as if I had been intimate with him and his wife for about ten years. 'So this is Bursley! I murmured, taking my mouth out of a towel. 'Bosley, we call it, he said. 'Do you know the limerick "There was a young woman of Bosley"? 'No. He intoned the local limerick. It was excellently good; not meet for a mixed company, but a genuine delight to the true amateur.
You are really intimate with young Ardworth, eh?" "Intimate! poor fellow, he will not let any one be that; he works too hard to be social. But I love him sincerely, and I admire him beyond measure."
