The " It was the second time the shuttlecock fell upon the paper. The king looked up censuringly at the prince, who stood speechless with fright and anxiety. The king again threw it upon the floor, and wrote on: "The prince must be polite toward every one; and if he is rude, he must immediately make an apology.
My mind fills in all the trains of thought of which you have the rude ends peeping out from this tangle. Make what you can of it, dear Bertie, and believe that it all comes from my innermost heart. Above all may I be kept from becoming a partisan, and tempering with truth in order to sustain a case.
Eugene was at last angry. He was silent for a moment. Then he said: "I see. I must congratulate you." "On what?" "On having bagged a brace without accident to yourself. But I have had enough of it." And without waiting for a reply to this very rude speech, he rose and flung himself across the lawn into the house. Claudia seemed less angry than she ought to have been.
"You would not have taken cold down here on the beach," she remarked, turning and looking out to sea. It seemed strangely to me as if those odd eyes of hers could pierce the blinding mist. "I will not go back with you. I have just come." Whatever she did or said that might have seemed rude or brusque in another, was sweet and courteous from her manner. "Very well," I said.
I bared my head and waited, for she had transformed this poor barn into a maiden's sanctuary. She turned her face towards me. "Madam," said I, very quietly, "your bed is ready, and you are tired out and dead for sleep. Pray come!" Still silent, she stepped up and examined my rude handiwork.
Through rude avenues of palm and pine and cypress, through groves of wild orange and banana fringed with mulberry and persimmon trees, over rustic bridges which led from island to island, they came at last to a larger hummock and the wild, vine-covered log lodge of Mic-co, the Indians' white friend. It was thatched like the Seminole wigwams in palmetto and set in a cluster of giant trees.
Crawford, he cared little for ceremony or show; and in every thing he was the kernel without the shell: his character was marked before his company in five minutes' conversation, whether he had ever met or heard of them before; and in all things else he was equally without deceit. This openness to some seemed rude; and his enemies were of this class.
As she spun, she sang as the birds sing, that is from the heart, and not from the score; and now it was a blithe chanson brought by her mother from her French home, and now it was a snatch of some Dutch folks-lied or some Flemish drinking-song, and again the rude melody of an old Huguenot hymn, the half devout, half defiant invocation of men who prayed with naked swords in their hands.
You will give me your information without any rude observations as to sex, of which you, as a married man, should be ashamed. A man and his wife are one flesh, Cadman, and therefore you are a woman yourself, and must labor not to disgrace yourself. Now don't look amazed, but consider these things. If you had not been in a flurry, like a woman, you would not have spoiled my dinner so.
"My cousin Maria ought to do it," remarked Lord Walderhurst, "but she will not neither shall I. Tell me something about the elevated railroad and Five-Hundred-and-Fifty-Thousandth Street." He had a slightly rude, gracefully languid air, which Cora Brooke found somewhat impressive, after all. Emily Fox-Seton handed cake and regulated supplies with cheerful tact and good spirits.
