Rose had the courage and honesty to adopt the latter course, and she tried to think that the fresh affront it brought her, was part of the penalty which she was bound to pay for her disgraceful childishness. Miss Lucilla Stone listened with a little personal discomfiture, for she was, like Mrs.
It is that Supreme Lord who imparteth knowledge to the child and childishness to the learned, according to his own will. If Dhritarashtra ask thee about our strength, tell him everything truly, having cheerfully consulted with everyone here and ascertained the truth.
He lay very still, his chin in his palms, watching the on-comers. How had she known? And then, seeing suddenly through her eyes, he knew that of course it was a child, that it could not be anything else. All its movements now proclaimed to him its childishness, and he watched it with a sort of fascination. For he had never seen Rosamund with a child.
"Anarchy," he said, shrugging his shoulders, "it is childishness!" "Et ca," cried out the Colonel suddenly, pointing over the other's shoulder, "and that is childishness, isn't it?" They all looked round, and saw a curve of black cavalry come sweeping over the top of the hill with all the energy of Attila.
She sat down again, wondering at his childishness, and yet conscious that her own nerves, too, were ever so slightly on edge.

And how good and honest was his look, as he told her all these short-comings, so that she might well understand that he was not rich! And she smiled also, as she gazed at him full in the face; answering seldom, but listening with her whole soul, more and more astonished and more and more drawn towards him. What a mixture of untamed roughness and caressing childishness he was!
She may envy him his masculine liberty of movement and occupation, his impenetrable complacency, his peasant-like delight in petty vices, his capacity for hiding the harsh face of reality behind the cloak of romanticism, his general innocence and childishness. But she never envies him his puerile ego; she never envies him his shoddy and preposterous soul.
