Well, that life of eighteen months was to me a life of eighteen years; I threw into it all the faculties of my being, which were not impoverished by their effusiveness; they were exhausted by that delusive intimacy in which I alone was genuine. For me the cup of happiness is not drained, nor empty; and nothing can refill it, for it is broken. I am out of the fray; I have no weapons left.
At first she had supposed that this effusiveness was the outcome of affection for her; but when she began to know him, she perceived that it was only the expression of some personal gratification. He had been quite demonstrative in his attentions to her during the time that Bertha Petterick stayed in the house. "By the way, there is a letter for you," he said, when they were at lunch. "Is there?"
At Tora's side stood "brother Karl," just about to start for Upsala University, with his arrangements complete for his bachelor housekeeping on the most simple principles. There was no effusiveness in the parting. "Keep well, Karl, and don't study too hard," said the sister. "And don't have any 'food-days'; I could not bear that. But you must not live too low, and pull yourself down.
After reading the précis, I offered Robin the position of my Private Secretary, which he accepted politely but without servility or effusiveness. I handed him a quarter's salary in advance, gave him two days' holiday wherein to "make his arrangements" Anglicè, to replenish his wardrobe and we sealed the bargain with a glass of sherry and a biscuit apiece.
Pellams and Smith were merry at dinner that night. In his heart, Walt had about decided on Beta Rho. This crowd treated him with well-bred cordiality but with far less effusiveness than the others. He was pleased when they had let him mix with them without permitting him to forget the gulf between. This had put him off his guard so that he had grown accustomed to them.
When Elsmere was introduced to her, she got up, and said with some effusiveness, and a distinct Westmoreland accent: 'Very pleased indeed to make your acquaintance, sir, while she enclosed his fingers in a capacious hand. Mrs.

It will be a matter of morals, essentially: of manners, incidentally. This superficial effusiveness, supposed to be "pretty" manners, is related more to subjective vanity than to objective courtesy.
"Maria," he exclaimed, giving me a hearty grip, "this is the man that won Mohair. My wife, Crocker." I was somewhat annoyed at this effusiveness before the Celebrity, but I looked up and caught Mrs. Cooke's eye. It was the calm eye of a general. "I am glad of the opportunity to thank you, Mr. Crocker," she said simply. And I liked her from that moment. Mr.
The Army returned her affection without the jealousy of the father, and with much more than his effusiveness. But when Lieutenant Ranson arrived from the Philippines, the affections of Mary Cahill became less generously distributed, and her heart fluttered hourly between trouble and joy.
I don't mean force, you understand. But when you feel that you can go in, come to me or write me a letter. That is," he added, seemingly inspecting Stephen's white teeth with approbation, "if you're not afraid to serve under a crazy man." It has been said that the General liked the lack of effusiveness of Stephen's reply. Summer was come again.
