And one of them is that he has married a woman of spirit and resolution so faithful and so fond of him that she won't even let his own mother tell her of his faults. Good child! I like you for hating me!" "Dear madam, don't say that I hate you!" "I only presume to think that you are confusing a delicate-minded man with a weak-minded man. Our dear unhappy Eustace "
Lepel, how generous, how delicate-minded!" cried the effusive little woman, throwing up her hands in admiration. "Now I wouldn't have believed that there was a young man that could be so thoughtful of others' feelings I wouldn't indeed, Mr. Hubert! Must you go? Won't you stay and have dinner with us to-night?" "Thank you no; I am engaged a dinner in town," said Hubert hastily.
And the awkwardness of the meeting drove him to silently caressing his children. Presently Sunny, who was not delicate-minded, pointed at his face. "You you had a fall?" Scipio shook his head. "You see, I found him and his boys got rough," he explained simply. "Gee!" There was no mistaking Sunny's anger. He forgot his usual lazy indifference.
He seemed to me a man quite of an unusual type, of much learning and power, and yet of a gentle modesty that was extraordinary. In some things the present Master of the Temple, Canon Ainger, very much suggests him. I see Elwin now, a spare wiry being with glowing pink face and a very white poll. He seemed a muscular person, yet never was there a more retiring, genial and delicate-minded soul.
"I talk about them too," said Joanna, "and I can't see as I'd be any better for talking of nothing else." What Alce had meant to convey to her was that he would much rather hear her discussing the ailments of her children than of her potatoes, but he was far too delicate-minded to state this. He only looked at her sadly.
At the beginning of this speech Mary had feared the intended visitor was to be no other than Alice's nephew; but Alice was too delicate-minded to plan a meeting, even for her dear Jem, when one would have been an unwilling party; and Mary, relieved from her apprehension by the conclusion, gladly agreed to come.
That he saw through me and her I have, after many years, come to know, as these pages must have shown. If to speak of her to this delicate-minded friend was not at this time to my taste, you may rest assured I liked not my aunt's queer way of treating the matter as she would have done a hand at piquet.
She had not the cockroaches, bugs, fleas and lice that the earliest Suffragists of 1908 had to complain of. Five years of outspoken protests on the part of educated, delicate-minded women had wrought great reforms in our prisons the need for which till then was not apparent to the perceptions of Visiting Magistrates.
But the trial could not have come to a better pair. Innate good sense and dignity, and single-hearted affection on the one hand, and manly, delicate-minded tenderness on the other, made all things possible, nay, easy.
But after all, you know, Artie, they can't be really poor, for Le Breton told me himself he was generally earning fifteen shillings or a pound a week, and that, you see, is really for three people a very good income, now isn't it? Arthur, delicate-minded, gentle, chivalrous Arthur, gazed in surprise and sudden distress at that dear, good, unselfish old father of his.
