"No, no, no," said Rosa; "I used to pay them all a part of their bills, and then a little more, and so I kept getting deeper; and I was ashamed to tell Christie, so that he calls deceit; and oh, he spoke to me so cruelly once! But he was very sorry afterwards, poor dear! Why are girls brought up so silly? all piano, and no sense; and why are men sillier still to go and marry such silly things?
'You mean that Kate does not control her own conduct at all, but is drifted about by every wind that blows, said Anne; 'yes, it was Miss Hazleby's influence that made her talk so much more of dress than usual, and really seem sillier than I ever saw her before. 'And what do you say of the fair Harriet herself? said Rupert. 'Nothing, said Anne. 'And Mrs.
People accuse Mr. Shaw and many much sillier persons of "proving that black is white." But they never ask whether the current colour-language is always correct.

I was silly to do it; sillier to be ashamed of doing it. There's a great deal of the callow schoolgirl in me yet, you see.
"And you may be sure he will," Jack added, softly, as though to himself. "But we've got far away from the crying and the babies," Vincent began, when Jack interrupted, fervently: "Thank Heaven!" "You monster!" the two girls cried in a breath. "No, I can't conceive a sillier paradox than 'A babe in the house is a well-spring of joy. A woman must have written it first.
Anyhow, I never had much of an opinion of Eothen, a book over which the cymbals have been banged too loudly. Compare it, as a travel book, for substance and style, with A Week on the Concord; though that is a silly thing to ask, if no sillier than literary criticism usually is.
