Tall, quick in his movements, as if he found life a perpetual dance and self-consciously adapted himself to it, with mocking blue eyes, red hair and a long nose bent slightly to one side, he was, in every line and act, vulgar, and yet so arrogantly bent on pleasing that you unconsciously had to acknowledge his intention and refrain from turning your back on him.
Then others took up that cry of "Shame!" so that at last I paused and stood there drawn up to my full height, as if in challenge. Towering above the heads of any in that room, I held my whip menacingly. I was unused to criticism, and their expressions of condemnation roused me. "Who questions my right?"

Lost Valley lay like a sparkling jewel, fashioned in perfection, cast in the breast of the illimitable mountain country and forever after forgotten of God.

"Is it my fault," he rejoined, "that she is dead? Was she immortal?" "Well," she replied, "I was so much distressed at the loss that I could not help detesting him whom I was told was the cause of it."
Benjamin Trumbull arrogantly declares that "the Dutch were always mere intruders."
"Thanks, Gimp." His voice was like pumice. "Shut up, I said!" Gimp ordered arrogantly. "About me first. When I got to Serene, I could have convinced them I was worth a job. But I'm independent.
