Mirthless as the grin of a skull, the Senior Surgeon's mouth twisted up a little at one corner. "Maybe I could have borne it better if she'd been a boy," he acknowledged grimly. "But to see all your virile masculine vices come back at you so sissified in skirts!" "Yes, sir," said the White Linen Nurse. With an unmistakable gasp of relief the Senior Surgeon expanded his great chest. "There!
And Diana Vernon for she, wrapped in a horseman's cloak, was the last speaker whistled in playful mimicry the second part of the tune which was on my lips when they came up. "Good God!" I exclaimed, like one thunderstruck, "can it be you, Miss Vernon, on such a spot at such an hour in such a lawless country in such" "In such a masculine dress, you would say. But what would you have?
The name seems to mean Earth-womb and he has a shadowy counterpart in Akâśagarbha, a similar deity of the air, who it seems never had a hold on human hearts. The Earth is generally personified as a goddess and Kshitigarbha has some slight feminine traits, though on the whole decidedly masculine.
He had no end of names romantic, splenetic, of opprobrium, or outright endearment to suit, I imagine, Lakalatcha's varying moods.

With all the winning address of an elegant, and, according to the times, an accomplished woman, Queen Caroline possessed the masculine soul of the other sex.
This was notably the case both in England and America, and it is probably owing in large part to the unfortunate infatuation which led women in these lands to follow after masculine ideals that at the present moment the inspirations of progress in women's movements come mainly to-day from the women of other lands. Motherhood and the future of the race were systematically belittled.
Kerry's fierce eyes sparkled appreciatively as his glance rested on the tall figure arrayed in a woollen dressing-gown, the masculine style of which by no means disguised the beauty of Margaret's athletic figure. She had hastily arranged her bright hair with deliberate neglect of all affectation.
Charles and Ralph went and looked at him rather ruefully, with masculine helplessness, and the end of it was that Evelyn, in nowise softened, for she was a good woman, had to give way, and a doctor was sent for. "Send for the man in D . Don't have the Slumberleigh man," said Charles; "it will only make more talk;" and the doctor from D was accordingly sent for.
