"The honorable wife who now attends to my requirements, laboring unselfishly in my miserable house and scorning the love of other men as she has always done and as an honorable and upright woman is expected to do may one day be gathered to her ancestors. A man never knows. Or she may leave me. I am not a good husband.
Certainly the glamour of the theatre has waned. And so much the better for the drama's future. It is a matter of concern, that future, to me who have for so long a time been a dramatic critic. A man soon comes to care, quite unselfishly, about the welfare of the thing in which he has specialised. Of course, I care selfishly too.

That there would be a duel I had not the slightest shadow of doubt and all for my sake. That my gallant, generous, true-hearted cousin should have behaved so nobly, so unselfishly, did not surprise me; but that he should be sacrificed to his devoted fidelity I could not bear to think of it for a moment!

Mary was unselfishly glad that Joyce was having attention like the other girls and that she had been chosen for one of the Greek maidens in the tableau of June.
For the rest, the citizens had responded to the call of duty with a spontaneity worthy of the highest praise. All honour, all gratitude to the good men and women who had spent themselves so unselfishly for the common good. The De Beers Corporation merit a meed of commendation for the manner in which they rose to a recognition of their responsibilities.
