He shrank into his shell. Had he not realized, in his sensitive way, that without him as a watchdog ineffectual spaniel that he was Zora would not accept Clem Sypher's invitation, he would have excused himself from the drive. He differentiated, not conceitedly, between Clem Sypher and himself. She had driven alone with him on her first night at Monte Carlo.
I don't think the place has got that. I put a seed or two into the ground, but I'm not sure that they have quickened to life. Then he went on in a minute: 'You will know I don't say this conceitedly, but I think it has all depended too much on me, and I know I'm only a tiller of the ground. I don't believe I can give life to a society I can keep it lively, but that's not the same thing.
It militated somewhat against the self-dependent course I had so proudly or rather conceitedly marked out for myself, but it would enable me to enter more advantageously upon my legal career. I talked over the matter with the lovely girl to whom I was engaged. She sided in opinion with my father, and talked so disinterestedly, yet tenderly, that, if possible, I loved her more than ever.
She had been talking on and on about her career talking conceitedly, as her subject intoxicated her telling him what triumphs awaited her as soon as she should be ready to debut. As he did not answer, she repeated her question, adding: "I knew you weren't listening to me, or I shouldn't have had the courage to say the foolish things I did." "No, I wasn't," admitted he. "Why not?"
"Janet won't," said Alice, promptly, retorting first, and then reflecting on the intelligence, which surprised her more than it pleased her. Parker smiled conceitedly, and said, "I don't think she will raise any difficulty if you give her to understand that it is all over between US." "That what is all over?" "Well, if you prefer it, that there never has been anything between us.
"Indeed, Luke, I am sorry to hear it," said the teacher, approaching and examining the fracture. "As matters stand, you can't skate." Randolph's eyes brightened. Confident as he professed to feel, he knew that his chances of success would be greatly increased by Luke's withdrawal from the list. "The prize is yours now," whispered Tom. "It was before," answered Randolph, conceitedly.
"No," said Sir Charles, monstrous dryly. "He says you are out of place on the stage, and wants to take the star from its firmament, and put it in a cottage." "I am not a star," replied the Woffington, "I am only a meteor. "He is mad! Tell me what more he says. Oh, don't stop to invent; I should detect you; and you would only spoil this man." He laughed conceitedly. "I should spoil him!
I see him in Spawn City in a bum gamblin' dive." Sandy suddenly roused to a keen interest. "Them strangers," he said "that 'minds me I was talkin' to one last night. He was askin' me when a stage was running from here." "What d'you tell him?" demanded Bill quickly, and Minky's eyes asked the question too. Sandy laughed conceitedly.
Besides, to them, he is often most amiably courteous; he seems to take pleasure in making them forget his personal singularities, and thus obtains a victory over antipathies which flatters either his vanity, his self-love, or his pride. "Why do you present yourself like that?" said the Marquise de Vandenesse one day. "Pearls live in oyster-shells," he answered, conceitedly.
Companies of dirty men marching to the baths, and companies of conceitedly clean men marching from the baths, helped to strengthen the ever-growing suspicion that a great Army must be hidden somewhere in the neighbourhood. Nevertheless, I still saw not the ultimate destination of all those streams of supply which I have described.
