I consider her far too young for marriage in any case. She is only seventeen tall, slight, with a transparent skin, and something actually babyish about the eyes. Her dignity, in the circumstances, was wholly admirable. Perfectly self-possessed. Pensée will describe the interviews far better than I could, so I will refer you to her for the details of our mission.
He was a great, greedy, selfish, swaggering, magnanimous infant! Oscar Wilde is generally regarded as something short of "the just man made perfect," but his simple, babyish passion for touching pretty things, toying with pretty people, wearing pretty clothes, and drinking absinthe, is far too naive a thing to be, at bottom, evil.
She was utterly disconsolate, and I could only keep on stroking the child's head as I used to, when she came to seek consolation for babyish sorrows. Of course I was worried about her, and realized how helpless I was. She hadn't grown over night, naturally, yet something appeared to have been added to her stature.
He had hoped to the last that she would be with several others, but he perceived when she came out at Brady's side, with her babyish chin tilted upward and her thin features working in a forced and unhealthy animation, that they were alone and would probably be alone for the remainder of the evening.
'Loving! cried I, as scornfully as I could utter the word. 'Loving! Did anybody ever hear the like! I might just as well talk of loving the miller who comes once a year to buy our corn. Pretty loving, indeed! and both times together you have seen Linton hardly four hours in your life! Now here is the babyish trash.
And as he turned from the stove, where he had put the coffee on to boil, she got up and stepped toward him. "I I called to get somefing," she faltered, resuming, in her trepidation, a babyish pronunciation long since discarded for one more dignified. "Ye did?" queried the cattleman. "Yes," she continued. "You 'member the night I 'most died?" He acquiesced silently.
On such occasions, the laugh of a boy puts us in mind of the laugh of a hyæna: it is, in fact, the broken, asthmatic roar of a beast of prey. It would thus appear that the common charge brought against laughter, of being something babyish, or childish, or boyish something properly appertaining to early life is unfounded.
Never have I known anything so ludicrous as the contrast between my stupendous number tens and the dainty pumps that seemed almost babyish beside them. Then I did the very thing I had excoriated Poopendyke for even suggesting. I asked Britton! "Britton, what's all this gossip I hear going the rounds of the castle behind my back?" Confound him, he looked pleased! "It's quite true, sir, quite true."
Whether it were on purpose or not, the next Sunday was eminently unsuccessful; the Collects were imperfect, the answers in the Catechism recurred to disused babyish blunders; Fergus twisted himself into preternatural attitudes, and Valetta teased the Sofy to scratching point, they yawned ferociously at The Birthday, and would not be interested even in the pony's death.
It was born of an almost babyish receptiveness; it was the work of men who had eyes to wonder and men who had ears to hear. "King Solomon brought merchant men Because of his desire With peacocks, apes, and ivory, From Tarshish unto Tyre." But this proceeding was not a part of the wisdom of Solomon; it was a part of his folly I had almost said of his innocence.
