Mother Mary Hilda was the most fearless, and showed the least dread in the conversation. Yet for no single moment did Evelyn think that she was the worldliest of the four nuns. Evelyn thought that probably she was the least. Her trivial utterances were the necessity of the unimportant moment, and she seemed to bring to them the enlightenment of her own vivid faith.
Mabel has seen so much unhappiness, yet she is surely a woman formed in the great purpose of humanity to be the best influence in the life of a good man. But I did not know her mind as regarded yourself. Your mind I have known for some time, Mr Cupples went on, with a twinkle in his eye that would have done credit to the worldliest of creatures.
At any rate, she was not faded enough, nor the city magnate's heart cold enough to prevent a sudden revival of the vision which in what now seemed an almost antediluvian stage of existence had dazzled, Sunday after Sunday, the eyes of the grocer's lad. If there is one pure spot in a man's heart oven the very worldliest of men it is usually his boyish first love.

Mrs. Orton Beg had sat idle an hour looking out of the window, her mind in the mood for music, but bare of thought.
A great congregation lost itself in the broken spaces of the London temple, dimmed rather than illumined by the electric blaze in the choir; a monotonous chanting filled the air as with a Rome of the worldliest period of the church, and the sense of something pagan that had arisen again in the Renaissance was, I perceived, the emotion that had long lain in wait for me.

And even the worldliest of men, in their low code of honor, count the thing base and ignoble. Alas! all women do not.
"I said a foolish thing, indeed," answered the sculptor. "It surprises me, for I might have drawn a wiser knowledge out of my own experience. It is the surest test of genuine love, that it brings back our early simplicity to the worldliest of us."
