"Geoffrey, old man, would you like to see the place?" "Yes, but for a man it's different." "Why do you want to see it? You're not going there for business, I presume?" "Why? for curiosity, I suppose. One hears such a lot of people talk about the Yoshiwara " "For curiosity, that's right: and do you really think that women, even clean-minded women, have less curiosity than men?"
I discovered that I did not like to live on the parlour floor of society. Intellectually I was as bored. Morally and spiritually I was sickened. I remembered my intellectuals and idealists, my unfrocked preachers, broken professors, and clean-minded, class-conscious working-men.
If persons in books, she will reflect, are not high-minded or pure-minded, or even clean-minded, it is useless for an ordinary person out of a book to attempt to be any of these. This is the lesson of some new writers, and Catrina Lanovitch had, fortunately enough, lacked the opportunity of learning it.
To Beatrix Dane, pleasure was an interlude, never the sole end and aim of life. And, on her own side, Beatrix felt a thorough admiration for the clean-minded, clean-bodied singer, a thorough reliance upon his judgment and upon his loyalty to anyone to whom he vouchsafed his friendship.
The boys brought back so many fish that thrifty Peggy racked her brains to find ways of disposing of them all. Jerry, for his part, carried home a new idea of "city dudes" and their ways. These clear-eyed, clean-minded young fellows had not treated him as an inferior, nor had they committed the offence still less pardonable, from Jerry's standpoint, of condescending to his level.
Both parties were clean-minded and irreproachably modest, while abiding by their separate rules, but they couldn't have traded rules for a change without suffering considerable discomfort. All human rules are more or less idiotic, I suppose. It is best so, no doubt.
What sort of woman do you consider me? How have I impressed you? Speak plainly no sentiment. You're a clean-minded, unsophisticated boy. I'm curious to hear " "I can't speak like a boy," he said, gravely, but with more than a hint of resentment in his tone, "for I'm not a boy. Not any longer." "Oh yes, you are! You're fresh and wholesome and honorable and Well, only boys are that.
I'm not sure that I like you; you look so devilish clean-minded. You always accuse me, without saying anything so that I can have a chance to answer back. It isn't fair. I don't like to be made uncomfortable. I am what I am, and can't help it." She turned her frowning eyes on Bill, and they softened.
Such is fame, dear man, such is fame. Why, I started as a child-actress at thirteen; and went on till the jackal made that impossible, like virtue, and self- respect, and a decent home, and a few kindred trifles in favour of which every clean-minded woman has, after all, a strongish prejudice." Poppy's voice shook. She had much ado to maintain an indifferent and matter-of-fact manner.
The girl was no saint; she was only a clean-minded, healthy young thing, born of good stock, trained by a wise father who believed that, even at sixteen, his tall daughter was still a child, not a premature society girl. He insisted upon plain gowns and a pigtail, upon hearty exercise and wholesome friendships with boys as well as with girls.
