Fullarton's testimony unfairly biased by prejudice, she could not doubt that Royston was by no means the most eligible object to centre her young affections upon. He carefully avoided discussion or display of any of his peculiar opinions in her presence, and on such occasions seemed inclined to soften his habitually sardonic and depreciatory tone.
But then, that is not depreciatory of his power and eloquence surely not. To Mr. Dear Mr. Chorley, Kindnesses are more frequent things with me than gladnesses, but I thank you earnestly for both in the letter I have this moment received. I thank you, dear Mr. Chorley. After all, we are not quite strangers.
Roscoe would have felt more aggrieved by this speech than he really was, if his attention had not been called off just then by the entrance of the very Mr. Gibson who was being spoken of. Almost before Miss Browning had ended her severe and depreciatory remarks, he had asked his friend Miss Hornblower, 'Who is that lovely girl in pink, just come in?
His depreciatory thoughts of her, his resolution not to be led away again by her beauty influencing him, he noticed the keen hardness of the look, and felt, perhaps out of a spirit of antagonism, that he disliked it.
So if our actions and qualities compel the highest respect from other people, and they have no option but to give this respect, as soon as anyone, no matter how wicked or foolish he may be, utters something depreciatory of us, our honor is offended, nay, gone for ever, unless we can manage to restore it.
Warburton could not altogether believe that. Annoyance with the artist now and then inclined him to slighting thought of Rosamund; yet, on the whole, his view of her was not depreciatory. The disadvantage to his mind was her remarkable comeliness. He could not but fear that so much beauty must be inconsistent with the sterling qualities which make a good wife.
Bertha was bubbling over with amusement; for, whilst the artist talked, she thought of Rosamund's farewell entreaty, that she would do her best, if occasion offered, to strengthen Norbert Franks under his affliction, even by depreciatory comment on the faithless girl; there came into her mind, too, those many passages of Rosamund's letters where Franks was spoken of in terms of profoundest compassion mingled with dark remorse.
It enraged her to think that the Winchers classed her with the "hotel crew" with the "belles" who awaited their Sunday young men. The place was forever blighted for her, and the next week she dragged her amazed but thankful parents back to Apex. But Miss Wincher's depreciatory talk had opened ampler vistas, and the pioneer blood in Undine would not let her rest.
Milton is tedious after rheumatic fever, Spencer is worse. "Not from the grand old masters, Not from the bards sublime, Whose distant footsteps echo Through the corridors of Time," murmurs the invalid, 'I can't stand them. He does not mean anything depreciatory, but merely that 'Like strains of martial music Their mighty thoughts suggest Life's endless toil and endeavour,
From the former we have the eulogistic, from the latter the depreciatory fashionable novels; these make us familiar with the celestial attributes of countesses-dowager, and the amiability of their pugs.
