Yet she showed evidences of effort, of self-consciousness, of serious intention; now and then the arriere pensee disclosed its puckered front. This, and nothing but this, could excuse Virgilia to-day. For she was too old to giggle, far too learned, much too sober-minded.
I feel quite in the mood of that morning when we walked down Broadway on our wedding journey. Don't you?" "Oh yes. But I know I'm not younger; I'm only prettier." She laughed for pleasure in his joke, and also for unconscious joy in the gay New York weather, in which there was no 'arriere pensee' of the east wind.
"I ken naething aboot trumpets," said Mungo curtly, distinguishing some arrière pensée in the interrogator. "Fi donc! and you so much the old sabreur! Perhaps your people marched to the flageolet a seductive instrument, I assure you." The little man betrayed confusion.
No shyness hindered him; no doubts about himself ever assailed him. He just did what he wanted to do without arriere pensee.

I was too much for her, until I reflected that she was very old, and deserved to know the truth before she left us; and so I went to her; and then she said she wished to see the Countess of Ormont, because of her being my dearest friend. I fancy she entertains an 'arriere' idea of proposing her flawless niece Gracey, Marchioness of Fencaster, to present you.
