Sandford, who was so good- natured, could not do what was needful; but she said nothing. "I think I shall turn over the whole thing in charge to you, Daisy." "But, Dr. Sandford, what can I do?" "Drive down with me to-morrow and see how big the children are, and then have the things made." "But I am afraid I do not know enough." "I dare say you can find out.
She's in a fair way to git her eyesight. But I'm eppisodin', and to resoom forward. There wuz some pleasant talkin' and jokin' between bystanders and suffragettes, and then some good natured but keen and sensible speeches. And one pretty speaker told about the doin's at Albany and Washington. How women's respectful pleas for justice are treated there.
As he approached I beheld a stout, middle-aged, good natured looking man, dressed in the graceless costume of Uncle Sam's army; but I must say that he wore it with more grace than most of the Regulars I have seen. Our soldiers look unbecomingly in their clothes, there is no denying it, a good deal like sups in a procession at the Bowery.
"I'd like to know how you figure that out?" returned I, in amazement. "When your mother bought it she told father it was for us to use together; but of course you always 'hog' everything." Now I knew that my mother never would have said what he claimed; but I was angry with her for the moment because of her good natured invitation to Paul to use my personal property.
"You are a conversationalist. You are not an elegant, sprucely dressed abbe; you are an abbe who is cynical and ill- natured, who likes to fancy himself a savage amid the comfortable surroundings of the drawing-room." The Frenchwoman's observation set me to thinking. Can it be that I am hovering in the vicinity of Apollo's Temple without realizing it?
He may be confident I can never think of disposing myself without my father's consent; and though he has left it more in my power than almost anybody leaves a daughter, yet certainly I were the worst natured person in the world if his kindness were not a greater tie upon me than any advantage he could have reserved.
But though Bass's bark is so terrific, he is the best natured and most playful dog I ever saw; so much so indeed, that the small King Charles's spaniel, Raith, used to tyrannize over him for many months after he came here from abroad.
If obliged to discuss a point, do so with suavity, contradicting, if necessary, with extreme courtesy, and if you see no prospect of agreement, finishing off with some happy good- natured remark to prove that you are not hurt or offended. When addressing a person, look in his or her face, not staringly, but frankly, never fixing your eyes on the carpet or your boots.
I went very early, and before I retired, my vanity was undeceived. Lady Roseville was playing at ecarte, when I entered. She beckoned to me to approach. I did. Her antagonist was Mr. Bedford, a natural son of the Duke of Shrewsbury, and one of the best natured and best looking dandies about town: there was, of course, a great crowd round the table.
"We feel that our King must be one of ourselves, and he can never be that if his wife differs from us in race, in language, in religion, in everything that knits a ruler to his subjects." Alec arose with a good natured laugh. "Monsieur Nesimir spoke of contingencies," he said, "and the word seems to imply that counter proposals to those of Monsieur Beliani have already been put forward.
