The fancy, carefully-selected oranges of other merchants would land at Liverpool or London when the markets were glutted and prices were falling scandalously. The lucky dolt would send anything at all along, whatever was available, cheap; and circumstances always seemed to favor him with an empty market and prices sky-high regardless of quality. He realized fabulous profits.
He let his ideas run away with him, and would sometimes say very dangerous and even very absurd things things which became all the more dangerous and all the more absurd because they were, as a rule, conveyed in what were apparently carefully-balanced and carefully-selected words. His wildest words were prefaced with declarations of reticence and repression.
We ate our supper with a good appetite, glancing with pride upon our well-filled store and carefully-selected goods, and bright anticipations arose in our minds as we thought of the profits that we should reach before they were all disposed of. A fortune of colossal size seemed within our reach, and only required a little tact to grasp.
Crump; "right, as you always are. Follow the dictates of your own heart, and fear not that I shall disapprove." Accordingly Ida was, from the first, sent to a carefully-selected private school, where she had the advantage of good associates, and where her progress was astonishingly rapid. She early displayed a remarkable taste for drawing.
During dinner she ignored in their favour the other carefully-selected guests the fashionable art-critic, the old Legitimist general, the beauty from the English Embassy, the whole impressive marshalling of Mrs. Boykin's social resources and when the men returned to the drawing-room, Durham found her still fanning in his sisters the flame of an easily kindled enthusiasm.
He was looking, even for him, particularly trim and smart, and he wore a carefully-selected pink rosebud in his buttonhole. His greeting was almost cordial. He gave me a few instructions, and then lit a cigarette. "What is this about your resignation, Ducaine?" he asked. "I do not wish to resign, sir," I answered.
It was anticipated, indeed, that, somewhere on the road to Richmond, Lee would make a stand and fight, in a carefully-selected position which would enable him to risk collision with his great adversary; but that Lee himself would bring on this collision by making an open attack, unassisted by position of any sort, was the last thing which seems to have occurred to his adversary.
"I think I'd begin with 'The Gods of Greece' Louis Dyer, you know and then I'd read them a few carefully-selected passages from the 'Phædrus. Then, by way of something lighter, and more appropriate to their circumstances, I'd give them a course of Virgil the 'Georgics', because, I suppose, most of them are connected with farming, and the 'Eclogues, to initiate them into the poetical side of country life.
He called a cab and drove to the Lawn. There was the smart gothic villa, with its pointed gables, and florid chimneys, and oriel windows, and in the Tudor casements of the ground-floor appeared the bills of a West-end auctioneer, announcing in large letters that the lease of this charming mansion, together with the nearly new furniture, linen, books, china, plate, carefully-selected proof-prints after distinguished modern artists, small cellar of choice wines, &c., &c., &c., would be disposed of by auction on the following day.
She looked particularly young and lovely in what Nancy supposed to be a carefully-selected costume; later she realized that all Dorothy's clothes gave this impression. She said that the baby was out, when Nancy asked for him, and that Katharine would take care of them. Katharine, an impassive maid, led them upstairs, and to the large room in which their suit cases already stood.
