The next best life to be aspired to was that of a house-painter, who could climb about unchided on the frailest of high scaffolds, swing from the dizziest cupola, or sway jauntily at the top of the longest ladder always without the least concern whether he spilled paint on his clothes or not.
The dizziest seemed indeed attained when, after another moment, she came as near as she was to come to an apology for her abruptness. "I've been thinking of Maggie, and at last I yearned for her. I wanted to see her happy and it doesn't strike me I find you too shy to tell me I SHALL." "Of course she's happy, thank God!
Their stocks of imported goods had been completely depleted during the war, and prosperity had bred, as usual, a spirit of excessive optimism. Enormous orders for cotton piece-goods and other British manufactures were placed in England on the basis of a 2s. rupee just when prices there had soared to their dizziest heights.
Smart, or have you flesh and blood mediums here who roam about in white night dresses to study the moods of the moon from the dizziest ramparts?" I started. What indiscretion had the Countess been up to? "I don't quite understand you, Mr. Pless," I said, with a politely blank stare. Confound his insolence! He winked at me!
No Pythoness at the dizziest height of the sacred frenzy, no Demeter wrought to delirium by maternal bereavement, was ever imagined by poet or painter as half so grand, and terrible, and awe-inspiring, as this furious cursing nun. " Delay not Thou, O Lord!" she prayed.... Rain fell in a curtain of gleaming crystal rods between them.
If people grow presuming and self-important over such matters as a dukedom or the Holy See, they will scarcely support the dizziest elevation in life without some suspicion of a strut; and the dizziest elevation is to love and be loved in return. Consequently, accepted lovers are a trifle condescending in their address to other men.

"This is luck!... I guess we'll have to rout out the Sherwins. It's something of a pull up the hill, but any safe port in a storm, you know." "The Sherwins?" "Another one of the Edington girls. They have a bungalow at the very dizziest point in Sausalito." But Claire objected and held firm. "I couldn't think of it, Mr. Stillman. No, really!... Please don't insist."
The Square was a green-turfed dancing floor; from its stand, an orchestra jazzed out the latest and dizziest of dances; and countless couples one-stepped on the grass, on the asphalt of the streets, even over the lawns of adjacent houses, tree trunks and flower beds adding more things to be dodged.
They performed the dizziest feats of arithmetic, soaring quite out of MY feeble range, and perpetrated, in higher spirits than ever, geographical and historical jokes. It was conspicuous of course in Miles in particular that he appeared to wish to show how easily he could let me down.
