We had the good fortune, too, again to get admittance into the cabinet of bronzes, where we admired anew the wonderful airiness of John of Bologna's Mercury, which, as I now observed, rests on nothing substantial, but on the breath of a zephyr beneath him.
Her airiness had given him new hope. "If you don't behave sensibly, I'll go altogether give notice." "Then I'll follow you to your next place." "No followers allowed. Seriously, I'll leave if you are foolish." "Very well," he said abruptly. "Let's go on reading Plato," and he turned to the book. "No, no more Dialogues, in or out of Plato." She was smiling but stern.
In the town Jean-Marie was kept a fixture on the driving-seat, to guard the treasure; while the Doctor, with a singular, slightly tipsy airiness of manner, fluttered in and out of cafes, where he shook hands with garrison officers, and mixed an absinthe with the nicety of old experience; in and out of shops, from which he returned laden with costly fruits, real turtle, a magnificent piece of silk for his wife, a preposterous cane for himself, and a kepi of the newest fashion for the boy; in and out of the telegraph office, whence he despatched his telegram, and where three hours later he received an answer promising a visit on the morrow; and generally pervaded Fontainebleau with the first fine aroma of his divine good humour.
"That performance gave me a Major-Generalcy, and my saddle cloth there, was sent from Baltimore as a reward, by a lady whom I never knew." Stuart exhibited what is known in America as "airiness," and evidently loved to talk of his prowess. Directly Gen. Hartsuff returned, and the forager rose, with a grim smile about his mouth "Hartsuff, God bless you, how-de-do?" "Stuart, how are you?"
It is always safer to err in favour of others than of ourselves, and therefore we seldom hazard much by endeavouring to excel. It ought at least to be the care of learning, when she quits her exaltation, to descend with dignity. Nothing is more despicable than the airiness and jocularity of a man bred to severe science, and solitary meditation.
At the same time, as a very part of his caution, he must appear entirely nonchalant and candid. "Oh, no tutt' altro," he said, with an assumption of nonchalant airiness and candid promptness. "She 'better bettered' his expectations she surpassed his fondest. She was a thousand times more delightful than he had dreamed though, as you know, he had dreamed a good deal.
As Vicar of Chuntsey, in Essex' he threw this in with an indescribable airiness of vanity 'I have never known such things happen." "What things happen?" I asked. He straightened himself with sudden dignity. "As Vicar of Chuntsey, in Essex," he said, "I have never been forcibly dressed up as an old woman and made to take part in a crime in the character of an old woman. Never once.
It was a relief to pass beyond her into a recessed part of the room where her gaze might waste itself on the back of my head. "Mother Borton's up late to-night," said Dicky thoughtfully, as he ordered wine. "You can't blame her for thinking that this crowd needs watching," I suggested with as much of airiness as I could throw into my manner.
In its wide, open, and gently curving bay, Filey is singularly lucky; for it avoids the monotony of a featureless shore, and yet is not sufficiently embraced between headlands to lose the broad horizon and sense of airiness and space so essential for a healthy seaside haunt.
I am acquainted with no tree in the forest that equals it, when disrobed of its foliage, in the gracefulness of its spray. There is an airiness about its whole appearance, at all seasons, that gives an expression of cheerfulness to the scene it graces, whether it skirt the banks of a stream or spread out its courteous arms over a sunny knoll or little sequestered nook.
