What might be conventionally or morally morbid or objectionable, was not, however, necessarily disease in the material sense, and nothing but experiment could absolutely determine whether the two conditions coincided in any case. At any rate, he positively assured Henry that no harm could ensue to the patient, whether the operation succeeded or not.
"So old a friend of your husband as I am, I am hopeful you and I may be friends also." Mrs. Armour saw the move. "You are very kind," she said conventionally, and offered a cup of tea. Lady Haldwell now ventured unwisely. She was nettled at the other's self-possession. "But then, in a way, I have been your friend for a long time, Mrs. Armour." The point was veiled in a vague tone, but Mrs.
But Sylvia refused to respond to this. The pagan in her nature reasserted itself, and she felt resentful of Runyon's affable attitude toward Harboro. The attraction which she and Runyon exerted toward each other was not a thing to be brought within the scope of a conventionally friendly relationship. Its essence was of the things furtive and forbidden.
He was not a conventionally rich Englishman very far from that but, he had a spare fifty pounds at the banker's. He resolved to risk it. Without doubt, GOD has recompensed him for the resolution. He went to the banker's, and got a bill for the amount, and enclosed it in a letter to the Advocate that I wish I could have seen.
I was, I believe, a rather ordinary person with a rather more than ordinary power of concentration, and I got on. I built up a business and was extremely and very conventionally happy. I married and we had a little girl. And then, one summer, we came down to Cornwall for our holiday. It was St. Ives. I remember that first morning as though it were yesterday.
So rapidly had my volcanic lava of spirit hardened to clinkers that when the telephone called him to a barn, where some accident had befallen a thoroughbred colt, I was able to turn a conventionally masklike countenance on Frances, who came to chat with me till his return. She sat in a great leather chair, and I, standing on the hearth, looked down on her, braced for whatever might develop.
"No, nothing from Mr. Bodery; so I am free as yet." "I am very glad," she murmured conventionally. "And I," he said, turning with a polite smile to hand her the letter. She took the envelope, and holding it up in both hands examined it critically. "M-a-x," she read; "how badly it is written! Max Max Talma is that it?" "Yes," he answered gravely, "that is it."
There is perpetually the inducement to act the hypocrite before the hypocrite world, unless a woman submits to be the humbly knitting housewife, unquestioningly worshipful of her lord; for the world is ever gracious to an hypocrisy that pays homage to the mask of virtue by copying it; the world is hostile to the face of an innocence not conventionally simpering and quite surprised; the world prefers decorum to honesty.
Such direction is, by definition, and conventionally, that in which the north pole of a small magnetic needle, free to move in the field, would travel. It results from this definition that the lines of force issue from the north pole of a magnet and re-enter the south pole, since the north pole of a magnet repels the north pole of a needle, and vice versa.
Yours gratefully, IT wanted little more than a fortnight to Christmas; but the weather showed no signs yet of the frost and snow, conventionally associated with the coming season. The atmosphere was unnaturally warm, and the old year was dying feebly in sapping rain and enervating mist.
