She had read of this device being effectively employed by certain conquerors of men, and coolly she tried it upon her father. She performed the trifle gracefully, and it seemed of value audacious and yet nothing to be misunderstood by a really clean-minded man. She tapped the judge again as they left, with a minor variation of the technic.
Le's go!" Some one nudged Hiram on the other side, and he turned to find Orr Tweet. "Did you ever see the likes o' that Jerkline Jo?" he said admiringly. "What a woman, Hiram! She can get away with anything, and there ain't a stiff on the grade that would think any the worse of her for it. She's pure-hearted and clean-minded, and everybody knows it and treats her like the lady she is.
She was just a healthy, clean-minded Englishwoman, imbued with a love of art for art's sake, a girl whose wholesome, courageous temperament probably unfitted her to achieve distinction in the artistic career which she had mapped out for herself.
Rosalie Vanderpoel was a clean-minded little person, her people were of the clean-minded type, therefore she did not understand all that this ironic speech implied, but she gathered enough of its significance to cause her to turn first red and then pale and then to burst into tears. She was crying and trying to conceal the fact when Hannah returned.
"Not in the least," was Reggie's answer, "it is like along Piccadilly after nightfall, looking in at the Empire, and returning via Regent Street; and in Paris, like a visit to the Rat Mort and the Bal Tabarin. It is the local version of an old theme." "But is that a nice sight for a lady?" "It is what every lady wants to see." "Reggie, what rot! Any clean-minded girl "
Certainly there was no affectation in his pursuit of botany; again and again I saw him glow with genuine delight when he had identified a plant. After all, this might be in keeping with his character, for even in the old days he had never exhibited at all events to me a taste for the ignobler luxuries, and he had seemed to me a very clean-minded man.
At the thought of anything amiss with her, presto! his sad eyes flamed. Very needlessly too. Cassy was as indifferent to other people's conceptions of decorum as he was himself. The matter did not touch her. Clear-eyed, clean-minded, she was straight as a string. "How did it go?" he asked. Cassy laughed. She had had a glass of champagne. She had too, what is far headier, the wine of youth.
After an hour or so, Barbara summoned me from my contemplative occupation. "Yes, dear?" said I, at the library window. "Have you written to Rogers?" Rogers was a plumber. "He's a degraded wretch," said I, "and unworthy of receiving a letter from a clean-minded man." "Meanwhile," said Barbara, "the servants' bathroom continues to be unusable."
Oh, he was a bird, was your old man. And you take after him, right enough!" A voice rose in Terry. He wanted to argue. He wanted to explain. It was not that he felt any consuming shame because he was the son of Black Jack Hollis. But there was a sort of foster parenthood to which he owed a clean-minded allegiance the fiction of the Colby blood. He had worshipped that thought for twenty years.
And yet it is true, in our own case, that you have exclusive monopoly of the ethereal qualities, while to me are given chiefly the physical attributes of the vigorous and healthy male the animal: my six feet three, my muscular system, my inartistic and pedestrian temperament. Fairly clean-minded, I hope I may be, but beyond all question I am the male animal incarnate.
