If that doesn't happen, there's a period of suspiciousness and secretiveness strongly suggestive of paranoia. Then there's a craving for unusual food. When it becomes uncontrollable, the patient is mad!" The ground cars sped toward the city. A second group of vehicles appeared, waiting. As the four-car caravan swept up to them, one swung in front of the car in which Calhoun and Murgatroyd rode.
Giggling, the little brown woman snipped out the bit of hem and handed it to me. I glanced up from tucking it into my pocket, and saw Laura Bowman's white face staring at me through the glass of that side entry door. A suggestive lead, certainly; but it's my way to follow one lead at a time: I went on to the Thornhill place.
He was then nearly seventy years old, but because of his emaciated figure, the deep wrinkles in his face, and the crow's-feet about his eyes, he looked even older, his appearance being suggestive of the practice of church asceticisms rather than of his well-known ardent devotion to the military profession.
In utrumque paratus, the article was mysterious, suggestive, amusing, well-informed, that in the 'Evening Pulpit' was a matter of course, and, above all things, ironical. Next to its omniscience its irony was the strongest weapon belonging to the 'Evening Pulpit. There was a little praise given, no doubt in irony, to the duchesses who served Mr Melmotte.
Resolved, That our noble anti-slavery poets be requested to compose sonnets addressed to the whippoorwill, appealing to that sorrowful-tuned bird by our associations with his name, and by his own historic relationship to the victims of oppression, to desert the South and to frequent our woods and pastures in greater numbers, that the sensibilities of our people may be continually touched by his notes and his name, so suggestive of the monstrous lash which rules over one half of this great nation.
Whoever will examine the facts will find this hypothesis to be in harmony with the method of civilisation everywhere displayed. It will scarcely be expected that much direct evidence in support of this conclusion can be given. The facts are of a kind which it is difficult to measure, and of which we have no records. Some suggestive traits, however, may be noted.
The sheer symbolism of the poet-philosopher is powerfully suggestive, and these later plays have an interest of their own, no doubt; but it is in the earlier social dramas that Ibsen most clearly reveals his dramaturgic genius, in the 'Pillars of Society, and the 'Doll's House, in 'Ghosts' and in 'Hedda Gabler. Dennery might envy the ingenuity with which Consul Bernick is tempted to insist on the fatal order that seems for a season to be the death-sentence of his own son; and Sardou would appreciate the irony of Nora's frantic dance at the very moment when she was tortured by deadly fear.
There was just a suspicion of irony in Madame de Kerman's tone, in spite of its caressing softness; it was so impossible to conceive of anyone really finding nature endurable, much less pretending to discover in trees and flowers anything amusing or suggestive of sentiment! But Madame de Sevigne was quite impervious to her friend's raillery.
American Hunt, in his suggestive ``Talks about Art, demands that the child shall be encouraged or rather permitted, for the natural child needs little encouragement to draw when- and whereon-soever he can; for, says he, the child's scribbling on the margin of his school-books is really worth more to him than all he gets out of them, and indeed, ``to him the margin is the best part of all books, and he finds in it the soothing influence of a clear sky in a landscape. Doubtless Sir Benjamin Backbite, though his was not an artist soul, had some dim feeling of this mighty truth when he spoke of that new quarto of his, in which ``a neat rivulet of text shall meander through a meadow of margin'': boldly granting the margin to be of superior importance to the print.
In regard to his recent mode of life, the document contained the suggestive fact that Muhlen had not taken his midday meal at the hotel for some time past. He was strangely fond of going out in the late mornings, the proprietor averred; it might be, to bathe; he returned at about five in the afternoon after lunching, presumably, in some small restaurant by the shore.
