"A' stood ower him, Doctor, an' a' juist said tae masel', 'Shall a' smite wi' the sword? but a' left him alane for this time." And so they started John in front with the books, and the Doctor a pace behind, his box now in the left hand, with a handkerchief added, and the other holding up his gown, both dignitaries bare-headed, unself-conscious, absorbed in their office.
Morena clapped his hands in the Eastern fashion of summons, and Jane looked toward him. "Oh," she said, "I'm glad you came." He strolled in and stood beside her shaking his head. "I didn't like the look of you this afternoon, my dear." "Well, sir," said Jane, "I don't like the look of you either." She smiled her slow, unself-conscious smile. "You sit down and I'll make tea for you."
And yet he did not feel entirely banal as he said it. "Come out again and I will show it to you," she said. She was almost staring at him, at his chest and shoulders, not at his face, but her eyes still kept their unself-conscious and almost oddly impersonal look. "You are going back there?" "Of course, when my case is over." Dion felt very much surprised. He knew that Mrs.
Thrush had told Dion all his hopes and fears with regard to the Dean, and had dwelt on his overwhelming desire to become a verger. Quite unself-conscious in his simplicity he rose almost to dignity. He frankly confessed his "failing," and alluded to the taking of the modified pledge.
The chin showed more definite character than her other features, being large, bony and prominent, and she had curly, pretty hair, growing well on a finely-cut forehead; the ensemble healthy and mobile; in manner easy, unself-conscious, emphatic, inclined to be noisy from over-keenness and perfectly self-possessed.
It's about time she knew she isn't quite everybody...." Desire, herself, was unperturbed. To her direct and unself-conscious mind there was no reason why she should excite herself. These people, to whom she was so new, were equally new to her. The interest might be expected to be mutual. Any picture of herself as affected by their personal opinions had not obtruded itself.
They are a queer lot, these village players; supremely unself-conscious when actually acting, yet guilty of taking "calls" in the middle of a scene. If pressed, they probably would give an encore, and with a little urging Signora Mimi would yield to a cry of "bis" and give a repetition of her abominable, appalling, vastly clever fit in Malia, to please the friendly Britons.
"You're so busy and necessary and unself-conscious, Barbara," Julia said, "you make other women seem such fools!" It was a heavenly July afternoon, and the two were following Richie and the children down one of the mountain roads above Mill Valley.
And so Isaacson, in the beginning, met Nigel's new reserve with another reserve, very unself-conscious apparently, very businesslike, practical, and, above all things, very calm. Isaacson radiated calm.
And she would take for granted that he would do what he was doing for love of his kind which was partly true; and she would be beautiful and sweet and amiable and quite unself-conscious. And then she would go back home, warm of heart with gratitude, and marry the man of the picture. The village had but one street, and that deserted and in ruins.
