Curse and confound it, wherefore the pity? Our youth is a perfect ass, an infernal young fish, a puppy-dog pah!" "Egad, Julia did the talking for him " "Ha, yes dooce take me, she did so!" exclaimed uncle George. "What an amazingly magnificent creature she is " "And did ye mark our youth's cool insolence, his disdainful airs the cock of his supercilious nose curst young puppy!"
It was Bella the laundrymaid she saw him from the window, and had a turn. The window was open. "Why, Struan," she said but he told her to shut mouth and eyes. "The less you see, and know," he said, "the better for you." Poor Struan, with his tragedy airs! Bella told that to Minnie, and that she would never forget it to her dying day.
English girls do not, as a rule, assume the airs of womanhood so early as do many American maidens to their credit be it said and neither Hope nor Faith had ever thought of considering themselves young ladies. Though nearing eighteen their gowns were still of ankle length and their hair in simple braids, while, as we have seen, they enjoyed frolicking with Dwight as if not a day older.
Consciousness of unquestioned position makes people gracious in proper measure to all; but if a woman puts on airs with her real equals, she has something about herself or her family she is ashamed of, or ought to be.

It is said that their eyes and hair are blue, and that they are crowned with white and red water plants; that at times the foam reveals their shapely forms, whiter than the foam itself, and that when night descends completely they begin their divine sports, playing mysterious airs like those of Æolian harps. But let us turn to our young people and listen to the end of their conversation.
I saw heiresses there worth, in their own right worth, well, I suppose I might venture to say, as much as nine dollars and a half. But such cases are rare. When you come across one of these, she naturally puts on airs. She will not ask for bucksheesh. She will not even permit of undue familiarity.
Fellow, you have come to blows at home with a slave: you have turned the household upside down, and thrown the neighbourhood into confusion; and do you come to me then with airs of assumed modesty do you sit down like a sage and criticise my explanation of the readings, and whatever idle babble you say has come into my head?
See how she leans towards her sultan." "They are very amusing," said the marchioness, sharing the hilarity of her husband, and looking at Rose-Pompom through her glass; then she resumed, in about a minute, addressing herself to Adrienne: "I am quite certain of one thing. Notwithstanding her giddy airs, that girl is very fond of her Indian. I just saw a look that expresses a great deal."
She was clever, as the young Seigneur found, as the little Avocat was forced to admit, as the Cure allowed with a sigh, and she had no airs of badness at all and very little of usual coquetry. Fabian was enamoured, and it was clear that he intended to bring the woman to the Manor one way or another.
