Dacier when you and I sit together, my Emmy, and a stroke here and there completes the painting. Set descriptions are good for puppets. Living men and women are too various in the mixture fashioning them even the "external presentment" to be livingly rendered in a formal sketch. Such literary craft is of the nursery. So with landscapes.
Sullivan Smith leaned over to Whitmonby and Dacier amid the ejaculations, and whispered: 'A lady's way of telling the story! and excuseable to her: she had to Jonah the adjective. What the poor fellow said was He murmured the sixty-pounder adjective, as in the belly of the whale, to rightly emphasize his noun.
'Well, you seem to be a pair against me, her uncle grumbled. 'Anyhow I think it's important. People have been talking for some time, and I don't want to be taken unawares; I won't be a yoked ox, mind you. 'Have you been sketching lately? Dacier asked Miss Asper. She generally filled a book in the autumn, she said. 'May I see it? 'If you wish.
Moreover, he was taught to suppose himself as welcome a guest as Dacier; and the cook could stand criticism; the wines wonderful to say of a lady's table were trusty; the talk, on the political evenings and the social and anecdotal supper-nights, ran always in perfect accord with his ideal of the conversational orchestra: an improvized harmony, unmatched elsewhere.
This low rumour, or malaria, began blowing in the winter, and did not travel fast; for strangely, there was hardly a breath of it in the atmosphere of Dacier, none in Diana's.

I know the common opinion; but Interdum vulgus rectum videt, est ubi peccat." "If I was to profess such an opinion, madam," said the doctor, "Madam Dacier and yourself would bear testimony against me.

'Married, I regret to say. 'Well, if he'd get over with it, said Quintin, in whose notions the seductiveness of a married woman could be only temporary, for all the reasons pertaining to her state. At the same time his view of Percy Dacier was changed in thinking it possible that a woman could divert him from his political and social interests. He looked incredulous. 'You have heard of a Mrs.
But Percy Dacier also was too good for Miss Paynham, if that was Tony's plan for him, Lady Dunstane thought, with the relentlessness of an invalid and recluse's distaste. An aspect of penitence she had not demanded, but the silly gabbier under a stigma she could not pardon. Her opinion of Miss Paynham was diffused in her silence. Speaking of Mr.
Diana was talked of in the London circles. A witty woman is such salt that where she has once been tasted she must perforce be missed more than any of the absent, the dowering heavens not having yet showered her like very plentifully upon us.
