I was indifferent, I said, about what he could say of me; and I was sure it could not be to my disadvantage; and as he had no reason to impute to me the forwardness which my unkind friends had so causelessly taxed me with. She said, That he gave himself high airs on account of his family; and spoke as despicably of ours as if an alliance with us were beneath him.
Taking advantage of her trust in her daughter's good sense and ability to take care of herself which trust it appeared had been in a measure misplaced he, the Speranza person, had sneakingly, underhandedly and in a despicably clandestine fashion the lady's temper had rather gotten away from her here succeeded in meeting her daughter in various places and by various disgraceful means and had furthermore succeeded in ensnaring her youthful affections, et cetera, et cetera.
"I will sing 'Elsa's Dream. But who will accompany? You know I simply can't play to my own singing." I gathered together all my courage. "I'm an awful player," I said, "but I know the whole score of 'Lohengrin." "How clever of you!" Rosa laughed. "I'm sure you play beautifully." Alresca rewarded me with a look, and, trembling, I sat down to the piano. I was despicably nervous.
Rose guided their course, at moments, with a kind of aimless ferocity; she moved abruptly, feeling vulgar and hating their life, though destitute of any definite vision of another life that would have been open to her. She had set herself a task and she clung to it; but she appeared to herself despicably idle.
"How despicably I have acted!" she cried; "I, who have prided myself on my discernment! I, who have valued myself on my abilities! who have often disdained the generous candour of my sister, and gratified my vanity in useless or blameable mistrust! How humiliating is this discovery! Yet, how just a humiliation! Had I been in love, I could not have been more wretchedly blind!
Miss Coacher was by many years the young fellow's senior and her own heart had been lacerated by many previous disappointments in the matrimonial line. No less than three pupils of her father had trifled with those young affections. The apothecary of the village had despicably jilted her.
The heartless people whose portraits he had painted, and whose impertinences he had patiently submitted to; the mean bargainers who had treated him like a tradesman; the dastardly men of business who had disgraced their order by taking advantage of his simplicity how hardly and cruelly such insect natures of this world had often dealt with that noble heart! how despicably they had planted their small gad-fly stings in the high soul which it was never permitted to them to subdue!
"They've made it up," I thought, and it seemed to me very contemptible and small of Burr major to take up again with a boy who had behaved so despicably to him. I passed pretty near them as I went on across the field, and they both looked at me rather curiously in a way, in fact, which made me think that they were plotting something against me. Perhaps a fresh fight.
Here is a fragment of The Royal Empress, which is by no means despicably versed: O thou bright, glorious morning, Thou Oriental spring-time of the day, Who with thy mixed vermilion colours paintest The sky, these hills and plains! thou dost return In thy accustom'd manner, but with thee Shall ne'er return my wonted happiness.
So home to dinner, and then to my office all the afternoon doing of business, and in the evening comes Mr. Then to prayers and to bed. 13th. Up and to St. James's, did our usual business before the Duke. and making of cables. But to see how despicably they speak of us for our using so many hands more to do anything than they do, they closing a cable with 20, that we use 60 men upon.
