At any rate, she was conscious of no anger against him; but rather of a deep pity for one condemned to suffer as she had suffered. But in the case of Katharine it was different; she was indignant with Katharine. "There's always work," she said, a little aggressively. Ralph moved directly. "Do you want to be working now?" he asked. "No, no. It's Sunday," she replied. "I was thinking of Katharine.
"And I made it up this evening," I said, a little less aggressively, "that I would join it if the devil himself were already in it, as I half suspect he is." "I like that," Brande said gravely. "That is the spirit I want in the man who joins me." To which I replied: "What under the sun is the object of this Society of yours?"
She melted, visibly, like a fragment left on the curb by the iceman, whenever Paula turned the current on. What made this the more striking was that Aunt Lucile's normal mood to-day impressed Mary as rather aggressively sell-contained. Was it just that Mary had forgotten how straight she sat and how precisely she moved about?
The miseries resulting from the overweening power of Spain in days long gone by seemed to be forgotten; forgotten also the more recent lesson of the bloody and costly wars provoked by the ambition and exaggerated power of Louis XIV. Under the eyes of the statesmen of Europe there was steadily and visibly being built up a third overwhelming power, destined to be used as selfishly, as aggressively, though not as cruelly, and much more successfully than any that had preceded it.
Flo came home toward evening, but had little more to tell them, as the day had passed very quietly at the "studio."

As our horses splashed across we could glimpse the rainbow trout flashing to cover. Where the watered hollows grew lush were thickets full of birds, outposts of the aggressively and cheerfully worldly in this pine-land of spiritual detachment.
A fantasy perhaps of some Norse goddess or Flame Deity; a wild, weird head, painted in reds and whites, with wonderful shaded locks, and small white face aglow with the fire within. His lips twisted in an involuntary smile. Could anything be more aggressively unlike "the sweet m-o-oss rose" of which she had spoken?
Billy Porter, worn and tattered but still looking very well able to hold his own, stood staring into the cave where the squaws eyed him open-mouthed and Alchise, his hand on his rifle, scowled at him aggressively. Porter's eye fell on Injun Tom. "U-huh! You pison Piute, you! I just nacherally snagged your little game, didn't I?" "Billy!" cried Rhoda. "O Billy Porter!"
It would not suit you at all to plunge yourself into commerce, nor would it suit you, I think, to push the affairs of a prosperous German concern. You are very English, Mr. Norgate, is that not so?" "Not aggressively," Norgate replied. "As a matter of fact, I am rather fed up with my own country just now." Mr. Selingman sat quite still in his chair.
