To whom did he not write?... And what is admirable in these letters is that he does not answer negligently to get rid of a tiresome duty. Almost all of them are full of substantial teaching, long thought over. Many were intended to be published they are practically charges. And yet, however grave the tone of them may be, the cultivated man of the world he had been may be traced.
"Something is wrong with Vera," said Tatiana Markovna, shaking her grey head as she saw how grimly he avoided her questioning glance. "What can it be?" asked Raisky negligently, with an effort to assume indifference. "Something is wrong, Borushka. She looks so melancholy and is so silent, and often seems to have tears in her eyes.
Of this prodigious number, Winstanley, Langbaine, and Jacob agree, that twenty-four only remain; the reason Heywood himself gives is this; "That many of them by shifting and change of companies have been negligently lost; others of them are still retained in the hands of some actors, who think it against their profit to have them come in print, and a third, that it was never any great ambition in me to be voluminously read."
In business, an elegant simplicity, the result of care, not of labor, is required. Business must be well, not affectedly dressed; but by no means negligently. Let your first attention be to clearness, and read every paragraph after you have written it, in the critical view of discovering whether it is possible that any one man can mistake the true sense of it: and correct it accordingly.
But from an inscrutable something in her appearance, Billy judged she was not unentertained by his sufferings. At the first pause he addressed her directly. "And how do you like Cairo?" was his simple question. That ought, he reflected, to be an entering wedge. The young lady did not trouble to raise her eyes. "Oh, very much," said she negligently, sipping her coffee.
"I've noticed of late that you are not quite yourself, old friend." He put an affectionate gentleness into the last two words. The real intimacy of their intercourse had never been so vividly expressed before. "Tut, tut, tut!" The wicker-chair creaked heavily. "Irritable," commented Mr. Van Wyk to himself; and aloud, "I'll expect to see you in half an hour, then," he said negligently, moving off.
His face was deadly pale, but his hand threw steadily, calmly, almost negligently, as it might seem. All at once, at eight minutes to eleven, the luck turned in his favor, and his pile mounted again. Time after time he dropped double-sixes. It was almost uncanny. He seemed to see the dice in the box, and his hand threw them out with the precision of a machine.
"I thank you heartily, monsieur, and shall ask you to do no more writing. But one favor will I claim, the loan of a few gold pieces for M. de Varion. Come, monsieur, your purse has ever been well fed!" With a look of inward groaning, he negligently handed me some pieces, not counting them. "Parbleu!" he said. "You will ask me for my chateau next." "All in good time.
I watched the face of my companion for a moment, then, "Worth," I said a bit nervously after all, I nearly had to know "is your father going to come through?" "Eh?" He looked at me startled, then put it aside negligently. "Oh, the money? No. I'll leave that up to Cummings." A brief pause. "We'll get a wiggle on us and dig up the suitcase."
"Olaf is such a silly-sounding nickname for two old married people, you know," Patricia estimated. The colonel negligently said that he supposed it did sound odd. "Only I don't think Clarice Pendomer would care about coming," he resumed, for the two were discussing an uncompleted list of the people Patricia was to invite to their first house-party. "And for heaven's sake, why not?
