I'll send word to mother by the ship that I am detained by royal decree." She spoke with a gaiety that seemed a little forced, and at mention of her departure a subtle change had come over her face. O'Neil realized that she had matured markedly since his last meeting with her; there was no longer quite the same effect of naive girlishness. "This was a very unhappy year for your loyal subject, Mr.
It may be remarked in passing that Spohr, in his naïve way a good enough fugue-writer, never received any instruction at all: in point of effectiveness his fugues beat anything coming from the Jadassohn and Hauptmann pupils.
I once observed, in a hut, a small fragment of the skin of a newly killed kid; the wolf had devoured the beast, and the shepherd was keeping this corpus delicti to prove to his superior, the agent, that he was innocent of the murder. There was something naive in his honesty as if a shepherd could not eat a kid as well as any wolf, and keep a portion of its skin!
It seemed that every fibre in his body was surprised with joy, as each tree in a forest at dawn utters astonished cries of delight. When Helena came back, she sat opposite to him to see him. His naive look of joy was very sweet to her. His eyes were dark blue, showing the fibrils, like a purple-veined flower at twilight, and somehow, mysteriously, joy seemed to quiver in the iris.
Then the gallant soldier brought me home, carrying the case, and, oh, my Evaleen, how shall I say, he kissed my lips, say 'Forgive, and went away. I have see him no more." As Evaleen listened to these naive sentences, her expression grew more and more troubled. "Kissed you!" Lucrèce nodded. "At Gallipolis? A captain? Do you know his name?" "His name oh, yes, I know his name Warren Danvers."
Manners, on the other hand, and it took less intuition to know it, was not only greatly welcome to Margaret, but to all the others from the gardener up to the senator. Manners' distinction of manner, his wellbred, easy ways, his charmingly enunciative and gracious voice, together with his naive and simple nature, went far with people's hearts.
I enjoyed immensely hearing and answering her, so naive were many of her queries and so filled with wonder was she at the things I told her of the world beyond the lofty barriers of Caspak; not once did she seem to doubt me, however marvelous my statements must have seemed; and doubtless they were the cause of marvel to Ajor, who before had never dreamed that any life existed beyond Caspak and the life she knew.
The naïve touches of self-appreciation are delightful to the true lover of "The Inimitable." TAVISTOCK HOUSE, June 6, 1856. I have never seen anything about myself in print which has much correctness in it any biographical account of myself I mean. I do not supply such particulars when I am asked for them by editors and compilers, simply because I am asked for them every day.
This parleying was interrupted by the arrival of the very person in question, who was announced by the housemaid, and was ushered in. She was a handsome, florid, healthy-looking girl, awkward and naive in her manner, and apparently not over wise; there was more of the dove than of the serpent in her composition. Mr Easy, who was very anxious to make his own discoveries, was the first who spoke.
Some years ago a well-known American capitalist announced with great solemnity that he and men like himself were the agents of Providence, charged with managing industry "for the good of the people." Naturally, his naïve claim provoked the scornful laughter of every radical in the land.
