Nay, I can even imagine perhaps somewhat captiously that after marriage, feeling would become a habit, a rich and holy habit certainly, but yet a habit, which weakens the omnivorous grasp of the affections, and schools one to a unity of emotion that doubts and ignores the promptness and variety of impulse which we bachelors possess. My aunt nodded again.
Study her as captiously as you would, you could find no flaw in this jewel. The small regular features were so delicately chiselled, the fair fine skin was so transparent, the fragile figure so exquisitely moulded, the ivory hand and arm so perfect no, you could discover no bad drawing or crude colouring in this human picture.
"He's bad, no mistake!" thought Edwin, as he met his father's anxious and intimidated gaze. He had never seen anyone so ill. He knew now what disease could do. "Where's Nurse?" the old man murmured, with excessive feebleness, his voice captiously rising to a shrill complaint. "She's not well. She's lying down. I'm going to sit with you to-night. Have a drink?"
Winstanley had been a good mother, according to her lights. The tree had borne such fruit as was natural to its kind. "Pray forgive me! You have been good and kind and indulgent, and we should have gone on happily together to the end of the chapter, if fate had been kinder." "It's no use your talking of fate in that way, Violet," retorted her mother captiously. "I know you mean Conrad."
Such critics seldom respond, and helpers criticise in a very different way. It takes less brain to criticise unwisely, captiously, far less than to help. Almost any hare-brain can tear a thing to pieces. And nothing is commoner than just such criticism. Some ridiculed. "Ha! ha! ha! Gideon going to be national leader; ha! ha! ha! And whip the enemy. Ridiculous! Absurd!"
He no longer played the lover to a cold and distant mistress, but carried himself haughtily at times captiously at times and always with an air of indifference. All affection seemed transferred to his boy, who was growing self-willed, passionate, and daring. These qualities were never repressed by his father, but rather encouraged and strengthened.
Mitchell covered it promptly. Loring drew out a handful of bills. "Here you are. Any one else want any of this?" he inquired captiously. Archibald shook his head and laughed. Wyatt screwed his monocle into his eye, regarded both sides of the coin attentively, and laid it down. "Quite bad, I assuah you," he said. "I should pwonounce it about the wohst specimen extahnt."
My two servants then took their turn: in this case, after the back was saluted, the palm was presented for a repetition. These preliminaries concluded, we were led to and seated upon a mat in front of the Amir, who directed towards us a frowning brow and an inquisitive eye. Some inquiries were made about the chief's health: he shook his head captiously, and inquired our errand.
I could not help suspecting at once how the matter stood namely, that the father, unhappy in his conduct to his daughter, and unable to make up his mind to do right with regard to her, had been behaving captiously and unjustly to his son, and so had rendered himself more miserable than ever.
"A curious question to ask," said the captain, captiously. "We were in danger of being swamped more than once." "We had better have remained on board the Nantucket with you, Mr. Holdfast," said Appleton, the Melbourne merchant. Captain Hill chose to take offense at this remark. "You were quite at liberty to stay, Mr. Appleton," he said. "I didn't urge you to go with me."
