He knew that the girl was light and worthless; but to have shown Reggie his proofs would have been to admit his own complicity; and to give a woman away so callously would be a greater offence against Good Form than his momentary and meaningless trespass. "But there is one thing you have forgotten," said. Reggie, rather bitterly. "What's that, old chap?"
Either we become so callously accustomed to our own useless figure in the world, or else and this, thank God, in the majority of cases we so collect about us the interest or the love of our fellows, so multiply our effective part in the affairs of life, that we need to entertain no longer the question of our right to be.
Mutely he beseeched her and Gloria, instantly cheered, vowed to be more careful. But because a discourteous street-car persisted callously in remaining upon its track Gloria ducked down a side-street and thereafter that afternoon was never able to find her way back to the Post Road. The street they finally mistook for it lost its Post-Road aspect when it had gone five miles from Cos Cob.
To be brought into close contact with dishonor makes one either unduly sensitive or callously indifferent. Upon June it had the former effect. The sense of inferiority was branded upon her. She had seen girls giggling at the shapeless sacks she had stitched together for clothes with which to dress herself. She was uncouth, awkward, a thin black thing ugly as sin.
Yet if the Jews took a petty and huckstering view of conduct, what view do we take ourselves, who callously leave youth to go forth into the enchanted forest, full of spells and dire chimeras, with no guidance more complete than is afforded by these five precepts? HONOUR THY FATHER AND THY MOTHER. Yes, but does that mean to obey? and if so, how long and how far?
Her position, difficult enough already, would become intolerable if De Sylva's daughter became jealous, and she had no doubt whatsoever that San Benavides would seek to propitiate the woman he loved by callously telling the woman he had promised to marry that his affections were bestowed elsewhere.
She asked him, callously, for money to take her back to some Nice relations. They need only know what she chose to tell them, as she calmly pointed out, and, once in Nice, she could make a living. She would like to see her children, she said, before she left, but she supposed he would have to settle that. How had she got his address? From his place of business probably, in some roundabout way.
"Mother," whispered Suzanne, setting her arms about her in a vain attempt to comfort. Then she heard Charlot's voice curtly bidding Guyot to reconduct the Marquise to her carriage. Madame de Bellecour heard it also, and roused herself once more. "I will not go," she stormed, anger flashing again from the tear-laden eyes. "I will not leave my daughter." Charlot shrugged his shoulders callously.
As it was, I drove callously away from Santa Maria Maggiore to San Pietro in Vincoli, where I expected to renew my veneration for Michelangelo's Moses.
At length George said: "If you don't mind I'll stick where I am for a bit." "Tired, eh?" Resmith asked callously. "Well! I shall be if I keep on." "Dismount, my canny boy. Didn't I tell you what would happen to you? At your age " "Why! How old d'you think I am?" "Well, my canny boy, you'll never see thirty again, I suppose." "No, I shan't. Nor you either." Captain Resmith said: "I'm twenty-four."
