As regards Peter the attitudinising girl and her mother now pointed that moral with sufficient vividness; so that there was little arrogance in taking a similar quality for granted of the conceited man at her elbow, who sat there as if he might be capable from one moment to another of leaning over the arm of her sofa.
Is this fellow citizen of ours, considered simply in the light of a baptised Christian and tax-paying Englishman, really as madly conceited, as empty of reverential feeling, as unveracious and careless of justice, as full of catch-penny devices and stagey attitudinising as on examination his writing shows itself to be? By no means.
P , your chief's patron and discoverer, I have been to hear in the House of Commons twice or thrice. I revolt against his magniloquence. I wish some little David would topple over that swelling giant. His thoughts and his language are always attitudinising. I like Barry's manner best, though the other is the more awful actor. "Pocahontas gets on apace.
Oke herself had no intention that it ever should. She was one of those creatures to whom realisation of a project is nothing, and who enjoy plan-making almost the more for knowing that all will stop short at the plan. Meanwhile, this perpetual talk about the pastoral, about Lovelock, this continual attitudinising as the wife of Nicholas Oke, had the further attraction to Mrs.
The reason for this attitudinising and parading was plain the moment I appeared at the window and grasped the situation; for it was clear enough Pomp had seen the gay uniform airing upon the rail, had annexed it, and carried it off to the hut, probably with his father as an abettor, in what could only have been meant for a loan; and he had followed the boy in, and possibly with his assistance put on the clothes, which fitted him fairly well; but his appearance was not perfect.
They set no store by our more modest, intimate wants which have to be met behind the scenes, the whole of their attention is directed to momentary attitudinising and display. Ours is truly a God-forsaken country. Difficult, indeed, is it for us to maintain the strength of will to do. We get no help in any real sense.
To return from this digression, we were about to say, that these are the sort of people whom you see talking, and attitudinising, outside the stage-doors of our minor theatres. At Astley’s they are always more numerous than at any other place.
"'What ye mean? says I, pretty sharp. "'Why, says he, 'I once had the pleasure of pulling it. "Then he laughed. And directly he laughed of course I knew. "I put my hand upon my sword. "'And what you doing attitudinising in my land, my lord? says I, the bristles at the back of my neck rising. 'Play-acting your Caesar about to conquer Britain by the look o you!
Yet the whole is governed by a strict sense of sobriety. The restlessness of Correggio, the violent attitudinising of Tintoretto, belong alike to another and less noble spirit. To speak adequately of these form-poems would be quite impossible.
Properly speaking, unless she puts it in, there's no posing in it, none of that graceful attitudinising she does so well. It's a long tragic part a tremendous strain, and would take all the powers of the most accomplished art to give it variety and charm. 'Oh, I know, sighed Mrs. Stuart, 'I know. But what is to be done?
