But it, the face in the picture, is overcivilised, whereas Brigit looked untamed and resentful.

Round her neck clung to its own tail, as if in a despairing attempt to find out what had happened to its own anatomy, a little sable boa.
Strozzi thus began, early in life, his apprenticeship in the misfortunes of an honest man in politics, a man whose conscience cannot lend itself to the capriciousness of events; whose actions are acceptable only to the virtuous; and who is therefore persecuted by the world, by the people, for opposing their blind passions; by power for opposing its usurpations.

Dartrey in the course of the evening, begged to hear the contralto; and Nataly, refusing, was astounded by the admission in her blank mind of the truth of man's list of charges against her sex, starting from their capriciousness for she could have sung in a crowded room, and she had now a desire for company, for stolid company or giddy, an ocean of it.
