He quite understood she had notes that so struck him. "And how did you like it?" She hesitated she decided. "Well, if I liked it, it was on the principle perhaps on which some people like high game!" "High game that's good!" he laughed. "Ah, my dear, we're 'high'!" She shook her head. "No, not you yet. I at any rate didn't want any more adventures," Cornelia said.
When those whom their friends whether justly or not have abandoned, chance to stumble upon some oasis of unconditional affection, they are not squeamish about its source or orthodoxy; if the sentiment be sincere and hearty, that is enough. In the present case, moreover, Cornelia, as a last resort, was by no means so uninviting an object as she might have been.
From that we mount to companionship if we can." Amazement of Sir Twickenham, on finding his own thought printed, as it were, on the air before him by these pretty lips! The conversation progressed, until Adela, by chance, turned her eyes up a cross pathway and perceived her sister Cornelia standing with Mr. Barrett under a beech.
If Eugene once sinks so low, neither you, nor I, nor his wife had he one could reclaim him." "He has deceived me! Fool that I was not to probe the mask!" Cornelia started up and paced the floor with uncontrollable agitation. "Take care how you accuse him rashly! I am not prepared to believe that he could act dishonorably toward anyone. I will not believe it."
To the elder girl was given the name of Amelia. Upon the other was bestowed the equally desirable appellative of Cornelia. While they were babies, both were considered remarkably pretty children; at least, so everybody told Mrs.
Upon the coils of her heavy, dark hair sat a golden circlet faced in front with the likeness of the head of the venomous uræus snake the emblem of Egyptian royalty. This was all Cornelia could observe in the brief time the queen was in view. Some of the people Egyptians mostly cried out to her in their own tongue: "Hail to the ever glorious Daughter of Ra!" But the queen paid them little heed.
At the close of this harangue, Cornelia, who had stooped slightly to deliver it, regained her stately posture, beautified in Mr. Barrett's sight by the flush which an unwonted exercise in speech had thrown upon her cheeks. Emilia stood blinking like one sensible of having been chidden in a strange tongue. "Does it offend you my going?" she faltered.
We have all read the Letters of Cornelia, the mother of the Gracchi; and are satisfied, that her sons were not so much nurtured in their mother's lap, as in the elegance and purity of her language. I have often too enjoyed the agreeable conversation of Laelia, the daughter of Caius, and observed in her a strong tincture of her father's elegance.
Lucius muttered some polite and conventional terms of regret, and fell back to join Servius Flaccus and Gabinius, who were near him. "I invited him and he refused," he said half scornfully, half bitterly. "That little minx, Cornelia, has been complaining of me to him, I am sure. The gods ruin him! If he wishes to become my enemy, he'll have good cause to fear my bite."
In the excitement she did not miss Cornelia, or notice whether Ludlow had come yet. When she did think of her it was to fancy that she was off somewhere with him, and did not want to be looked up. Before the high moment when one of the instructors appeared, and chose a partner fur the Virginia Reel, Charmian had fused all the faltering and reluctant temperaments in the warmth of her amiability.
