That was for his elder brother, Robert, who presently came out in his new fur coat and drove dashingly away with bells and glitter. "Thinks he's the people," remarked Eben, with a fraternal grin. The rich winter twilight was purpling over the white world as they drove down the lane under the over-arching wild cherry trees that glittered with gemmy hoar-frost.
"Not better, perhaps, but more steadily not so dashingly, but more inevitably," said Leslie, going into one of his fits of abstract philosophy, where he must perforce be followed, like a maniac by his keeper. "Our New York boys go into the fight more as a spree the New Englanders more as a duty.
It's all right," said Edwin eagerly. "Mr Peake sent word he couldn't come, and he wanted you to go across to the Dragon this evening. So I went instead." It sounded dashingly capable. He finished the recital, and added that of course Big James had not been able to proceed with the job. "And where's the proof?" demanded Darius.
And in the roadway, through the translucent olive, the swirling traffic seemed like armies of ghosts mightily and dashingly charioted. The darkness had deepened when we, at last, drew up at the mansions in St. John's Wood. No lights were lit in the vestibule, and the hall-porter emerged as from a cavern of despair. He opened the car-door and touched his peaked cap.
For a time he went on dashingly, the merchants in town supplying him freely with provisions and everything necessary to carry on his timber-making whilst Stephen worked hard and lived poor, he enjoyed long intervals of ease and fared luxuriantly.
Now the man who has his heart on his sleeve, and a good whirling weathercock of a brain, who reckons his life as a thing to be dashingly used and cheerfully hazarded, makes a very different acquaintance of the world, keeps all his pulses going true and fast, and gathers impetus as he runs, until, if he be running towards anything better than wildfire, he may shoot up and become a constellation in the end.
It was not alone his courage and audacious will that enabled him to career so dashingly among his compeers. His enemies did not forget that he was one of thirty warlike brethren, all growing up to manhood. Should they wreak their anger upon him, many keen eyes would be ever upon them, many fierce hearts would thirst for their blood. The avenger would dog their footsteps everywhere.
As I first remembered him he always shunned the society of the young squaws, and was extremely bashful and sheepish in their presence; but now, in the confidence of his own reputation, he began to assume the airs and the arts of a man of gallantry. He wore his red blanket dashingly over his left shoulder, painted his cheeks every day with vermilion, and hung pendants of shells in his ears.
One dashingly calls them 'glittering generalities. Another bluntly calls them 'self-evident lies. And others insidiously argue that they apply only to 'superior races. These expressions, differing in form, are identical in object and effect the supplanting the principles of free government, and restoring those of classification, caste, and legitimacy.
For the picture, dashingly painted in oils, represented a comfortably plump young woman who, from her rather weak-minded simper and the fact that she wore absolutely nothing except a small dove on her left shoulder, was plainly intended to be the goddess Venus.
