Once a week a trained nurse comes to give talks on nursing, and if I go into any corner afterward, I find a group of girls practising all kinds of bandaging. Even the demurest little maiden cherishes the hope that some fate may send her to the battle-field, or that in some way she may be permitted to serve her country.
"Now then, my man, quick I always keep my word!" "Hand the stick to Mr. Marston Greyle, Mr. Copplestone," said Audrey in her demurest manner. "I'm sure he would beat Chatfield soundly if he had heard what he said to me his cousin." "Thank you, but I'm in possession," said Copplestone, grimly. "Mr. Marston Greyle can kick him when I've thrashed him.
The party would assemble in time for luncheon, would spend the afternoon in a country excursion, would return to dinner, and so Pariswards by a special train. It was a pretty programme, and would cost M. le Baron de Wyeth a pretty penny, but the last consideration was Gertrude's affair alone. The Comtesse de Cassault was a beautiful person, a flirt of the demurest kind.
She shrugged as delicately as she could: 'We cannot possibly please everybody in life. 'No: only we may spare them a shock: mayn't we? 'Sophistries of any description, I detest. 'But sometimes you smile to please, don't you? 'Do you detect falseness in that? she answered, after the demurest of pauses. 'No: but isn't there a soupcon of sophistry in it?
With downcast demurest eyes and hesitating speech, Saxon said: "I did something yesterday without asking your advice, Billy." He waited. "I wrote to Tom," she added, with an air of timid confession. Still he waited for he knew not what. "I asked him to ship up the old chest of drawers my mother's, you remember that we stored with him." "Huh!
Yesterday as I was sauntering in the churchyard waiting for the appearance of a certain white-robed figure crowned by the demurest of little hats, I caught a glimpse of his face as he leaned on one of the tombstones near Patience Goodyear's grave, and I saw that he was waiting also for the same white figure and the same demure hat.
And, Gwendolyn, above all things, be demure, Gwendolyn! Be demure!" Gwendolyn was the demurest of the demure, letting her eyes fall beneath their pendant black lashes at the conclusion of each answer, and won her case without the slightest difficulty.
Jack Wonnell had found unexpected favor in Meshach Milburn's eyes, and was appointed to sleep in the store and watch it; and there Roxy came down in the twilights, and, with pity more than affection, heard him weave the illusion of his love for her, willing to be amused by it, because it was so sincere with him; for Jack was all lover, and meek and artful, bold and domestic, soft and outlawed, as the houseless Thomas cat that makes highways of the fences, and wooes the demurest kitten forth by the magic of his purring.
Lambert, ah, Tibullus never did the like of them. And it went, alas, it went to all lengths, mentionable and not mentionable: and M. le Marquis had to be coaxed home in the Spring of 1749, still earlier it had been suitabler; and in September ensuing, M. de St. Lambert looking his demurest, there is an important lying-in to be transacted!
"Please be seated, Captain Hocken," said Mrs Bosenna, covering inward merriment with the demurest of smiles. "You shall tell me your business later on that's to say, if there's no pressing hurry about it?" "There's no pressin hurry," admitted Cai. "It's important, though, in a way important to me; and any ways more important than smokin' a pipe an' watchin' you play parlour games."
