At his touch it leapt and throbbed violently, suggesting a new terror.
"They arise chiefly from what is passing at the time, and though I sometimes amuse myself with suggesting and arranging such little elegant compliments as may be adapted to ordinary occasions, I always wish to give them as unstudied an air as possible."

But these qualities had been mated with a slender physique trim, balanced, composed suggesting a fastidious taste, and nerves perfectly under control; a physique which had given special accent and emphasis to her rare outbreaks of spoken violence. Refinement, seemliness, "ladylikeness," even Sir Robert Blanchflower in his sorest moments would scarcely have denied her these.
