"Madame," cried the baron, "I cannot imagine how you can presume " "Sir!" said Adrienne, reducing him to silence by a gesture of overwhelming lordliness, "I speak of you not to you. I wished to spend my income," she continued, "according to my own tastes. I embellished the retreat that I had chosen. Instead of ugly, ill-taught servants, I selected girls, pretty and well brought up, though poor.
Excessive self-love, a taste for exciting pleasures, aspirations of hatred, pride, and lordliness, a species of evil sympathy, the perfidious attraction of which brings together perverse natures without mingling them, had made of the princess and the Marquis accomplices rather than lovers.
There was an unconscious air of physical lordliness about him, and he looked such a swell not the black-clothed, clean-shaved, great display of white collar-and-cuffs swell appertaining to the office and city street, but of the easy sunburnt squatter type of swelldom, redolent of the sun, the saddle, the wide open country a man who is a man, utterly free from the least suspicion of effeminacy, and capable of earning his bread by the sweat of his brow with an arm ready and willing to save in an accident.
You can't look down on a painter you can't take him seriously enough. For Jolly, who had a sort of natural lordliness, had passed at once into a very small set, who secretly amused his father. The boy had fair hair which curled a little, and his grandfather's deepset iron-grey eyes.

There are many other beasts that one might once have thought had a chance. Some, like horses and deer, were not bold enough; or were stupid, like buffaloes.

"Eight glories meet, all, all conjoined in thee, * Whereby may Fortune aye thy servant be: Lere, lordliness, grace, generosity; * Plain words, deep meaning, honour, victory!"
A boat bumped against the side of the steamer, and Mr. Green, looking round, observed the long form of Joe scrambling over the side. His appearance betokened alarm and haste, and Mr. Green, after a brief remark on the extravagance, not to say lordliness, of a waterman's skiff when a hail would have taken the ship's boat to him, demanded to know what was the matter.
