Pride restrained her; pride mingled with foreboding as to what this exceedingly progressive and by no means unattractive young suitor for he could be relegated to no lesser category might do next. She said coolly and crisply: "I wish nothing more to do with you whatever." "Then I needn't quit the Garden of Ed I mean, Our Square?" "You may do as you see fit," she replied loftily.
The Rule was planned to exclude the dull, to be unattractive to the base, and to direct and co-ordinate all sound citizens of good intent." "And it has succeeded?" "As well as anything finite can.
Milly wondered if Sam loved her still, really loved her, as he seemed to in his rough way when they were together that summer at Gossensass. How could he? That was the cruelty in marriage for women. Men took the best they had to offer of their youth and beauty, gave them the burdens of children, and then wanted something else when they had become homely and unattractive.
When she took possession of the place it was in rather a neglected state, but that was all the better, for it gave her a free field to develop it according to her own tastes.

It deserved nothing of that hand or any other hand; but suddenly, I found mine powerless.
On the tenth day after my conversation with this unattractive child I was in my brougham, with the windows up, and I sat back, a paper before my face lest any one should look in. Naturally, I was afraid of being seen in company of William's wife and Jenny, for men about town are uncharitable, and, despite the explanation I had ready, might have charged me with pitying William.
The ideas generally held concerning her “personally” are somewhat incorrect, as the following will show: * It was a cloudy, winter’s afternoon, and the place seemed dull and gloomy. The Boston Music Hall is, at best, bare and vast, and by daylight is particularly unattractive. The great organ pipes appear cold and lustreless, and the light tints on the walls are not very comforting.
"Well, talking straight and side-stepping subterfuge, this is a lonely place for a woman like you, and our mutual friend ain't altogether unattractive." Cherry's cheeks flamed, but her tone was icy. "This is entirely a business matter." "Hm m ! I ain't never heard you touted none as a business woman," said the adventurer.
