We had moving pictures at the club showing how they're torn from the mother birds. No daughter of mine " "I don't care!" retorted Tweetie. "They're perfectly stunning; and I'm going to have them." And she had them not that the aigret incident is important; but it may serve to place the Greggs in their respective niches.
But in Villette there are none of these battlings and rendings, these Titanic upheavals and subsidences. Charlotte Brontë's imagination, and her sense of the real, are in process of fusion. There are few novels in which an imagination so supreme is wedded to so vivid a vision of actuality. It may be said that Charlotte Brontë never achieved positive actuality before. The Pensionnat de Demoiselles is almost as visibly and palpably actual as the Maison Vauquer in Père Goriot. It is a return to the method of experience with a vengeance. Charlotte's success, indeed, was so stunning that for all but sixty years Villette has passed for a roman
The last time Lucy had seen her was at the Gaite; Blanche, too, had seen her in Melusine. Oh, how stunning it was, my dear, when she appeared in the depths of the crystal grot! The gentlemen remembered the occasion perfectly. Fontan had played the Prince Cocorico. And their memories once stirred up, they launched into interminable particulars.
Like a man who has received a stunning blow, Vincent Favoral sank heavily upon a chair. "He knows all," he groaned. "Yes, all!" "You must hate me mortally." "I pity you." The old cashier had reached that point when all the faculties, after being strained to their utmost limits, suddenly break down, when the strongest man gives up, and weeps like a child.
However, I'll make no charge on the present occasion, but will tell you out at once Miss Julia that was is coming back to us to her old home, perhaps to-morrow or next day. My father has sent for her. Now, isn't that stunning?"
"I ought to stop that fellow, at all events!" said Jerry, giving Master Crab a stunning blow. We tied his claws, and presented him as a trophy to the doctor. "A fine specimen of Graspus" cried our scientific friend, stowing him away in his wallet. "A capital name!" said Jerry. "He seemed ready enough to grasp anything he could lay his claws on."
"You're a picture!" he cried, as he saw how particularly "fetching" she looked in the aviator's costume which was like his own. Because of the danger of entanglement, Miss Nestor had doffed her skirts, and wore the costume of all aviators men and women. "I wish I had my camera!" cried Tom. "You look stunning!"
Meanwhile Lucy was hurried forward with the privileged crowd going to the tribunes, towards the sacristy door on the south. 'Let's catch up Mrs. Burgoyne' said the young man, looking ahead with some anxiety 'Manisty's no use. He'll begin to moon and forget all about her. I say! Look at the building and the sky behind it! Isn't it stunning?
I might be affronting within the next second or two a gang of desperate thieves, but I did not quake. I turned into that doorway, Sir; the next moment I felt a stunning blow between my eyes. I just remember calling out with all the strength of my lungs: "Police! Gendarmes! A moi!" Then nothing more. I woke with the consciousness of violent wordy warfare carried on around me.
In these recitals, the party in question always meet a foe who vastly outnumbers them, and according to their account, their opponents always suffer terribly in slain, and would have eventually been overcome, and completely routed, had not some trifling accident which could not be foreseen occurred to mar the effects of their stunning prowess.
