It was fortunate that Gyges was there, for I lost my wits entirely; he, of course, kept his presence of mind, and after relieving his feelings in words not exactly flattering to us two, he behaved like a circumspect general. A fool of a doctor came running up and protested that it was all over with poor Bart, for which I gave him a good thrashing."
"Of course, I'd rather get called first, but it could be managed. As it happens, I'm comfortably off, and so I need not be dependent on my profession." "Anyhow, we must say nothing about our our " "Engagement," suggested Bob, as Nancy hesitated. "Call it what you like, but we must keep it quiet for the present, and be very circumspect and all that.
The majority of men is composed of two classes, for neither of which would this be at all a befitting resolution: in the first place, of those who with more than a due confidence in their own powers, are precipitate in their judgments and want the patience requisite for orderly and circumspect thinking; whence it happens, that if men of this class once take the liberty to doubt of their accustomed opinions, and quit the beaten highway, they will never be able to thread the byway that would lead them by a shorter course, and will lose themselves and continue to wander for life; in the second place, of those who, possessed of sufficient sense or modesty to determine that there are others who excel them in the power of discriminating between truth and error, and by whom they may be instructed, ought rather to content themselves with the opinions of such than trust for more correct to their own reason.

So circumspect was he that he would have fooled one who knew him a whit less than I. He questioned me closely upon my studies, and in my grandfather's presence I was forced to answer. And when the rector came to dine and read to Mr. Carvel, my uncle catechised him so searchingly on my progress that he was pushed to the last source of his ingenuity for replies.
No; Gipsy was not the pet for a little girl. The rosy hearthstone and sheltered rug were too circumspect for him. Surrounded by the comforts of middle-class respectability, and profoundly oppressed, even in his youth, by the Puritan ideals of the household, he sometimes experienced a sense of suffocation. He wanted free air and he wanted free life; he wanted the lights, the lights and the music.
The bath is thus a pleasure more than a necessity. Whereas there was an era, when our guests came straight from only too populous trenches.... "O.C. Baths," as the bathroom orderly was nicknamed, had to be circumspect in the performance of his job. The few minutes which the walking-case spends in the receiving hall are occupied in drinking a cup of cocoa, and in "having his particulars taken."
Suppose, then, that a towardly lad be put to be an apprentice with one that is reputed to be a godly man, yet that lad may be ruined many ways; that is, if his master be not circumspect in all things that respect both God and man, and that before his apprentice.
Three shadowy forms were conversing in low tones under the arch of the gateway. "Have you spoken to Elias?" asked a voice. "No, you know how reserved and circumspect he is. But he ought to be one of us. Don Crisostomo saved his life." "That's why I joined," said the first voice. "Don Crisostomo had my wife cured in the house of a doctor in Manila.
You have never had a regicide Bertrand de Gurdon, a Ravillac or a Damiens in Germany; but they have been common in France, and the Sovereigns of France cannot be too circumspect in their maintenance of ancient etiquette to command the dignified respect of a frivolous and versatile people.
