He spoke of me all the time, in the blandest way, as "this prodigious giant," and "this horrible sky-towering monster," and "this tusked and taloned man-devouring ogre", and everybody took in all this bosh in the naivest way, and never smiled or seemed to notice that there was any discrepancy between these watered statistics and me.
If the sentiment of freedom be dear to you, you are fresh from apostrophising the statue of Liberty, and you may have just whispered to yourself that you are breathing a clearer, larger air. Even the exquisite courtesy of the officer who has invited you in the blandest terms to declare that you have no contraband, has belied the voice of rumour and imparted a glow of satisfaction.
Sauvresy was really alarmed; he saw clearly how real and earnest Jenny's menaces were. There are persecutions against which the law is powerless. But he dissimulated his alarm under the blandest air he could assume. "Hear me, my child," said he. "If I give you my word of honor to tell you the truth, you'll believe me, won't you?"
"It might, if I had not seen her, and did not know her to be a coloured woman. You see, my dear Miss Jordan," continued she, in her blandest tone, "I am their next-door neighbour and have seen their mother twenty times and more; she is a coloured woman beyond all doubt."
Fraught with the most political spite, I whirled up against him; apologized with my blandest smile, and left him wiping his mouth, and rubbing his shoulder, the most forlorn picture of Hope in adversity, that can possibly be conceived. I soon grew wearied of my partner, and leaving her to fate, rambled into another room. There, seated alone, was Lady Roseville.
The above view of the case somewhat modified the parson's temper, and as he would not have those present think him less than a Christian gentleman, who would rather go supperless to bed than wrong his fellow, he, in the blandest manner, begged them not to think for a moment that he intended wrong.
They showed a deep, restful verdure in the foreground, and in more distant reaches assumed the blandest enrichments of blue, fading and fading to mere illusions of ranges, and finally dreaming away to the misty mirages of the horizon.
I forgot to put quotation marks, and it would be so funny in him to make the mistake! For you know I have not much of the of that sort of thing about me I am not a poet poetess, author, you know." Said Miriam in her blandest tone, without a touch of sarcasm in her voice, "Oh, if he has ever seen you, the mistake is natural!" If I had spoken, my voice would have carried a sting in it.
"Say, what am I arrested for?" he protested. "I ain't done anything." Even now, Burke did not look up, and his pen continued to hurry over the paper. "Who told you you were arrested?" he remarked, cheerfully, in his blandest voice. Garson uttered an ejaculation of disgust. "I don't have to be told," he retorted, huffily.
This trivial circumstance is, I am fully conscious, quite enough to provoke the blandest of smiles from masculine lips. "Such a paltry distraction for sensible people!" I hear them utter.
