Nebbie was waiting for him on the lawn, and greeted him with the usual effusiveness. He returned to his desk, and to the composition of his sermon, but his thoughts were inclined to wander.
David thought him cool and cross, and was pained by the mood; but Maggie knew the meaning of the worried, slightly haughty manner; for in one quick glance, he had made her understand how bitter it was to leave her in her worse than loneliness; and how painful in his present temper was the vulgar effusiveness of Janet Caird's thanks and noisy farewells. An hour upon the sea cured him.
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.
There was no effusiveness of greeting we just fell at once into the old familiar talk. "You are just the same," I said to him, looking at the burly figure, the big, almost clumsy, head, and the irradiating smile. His great charm had always been an entire unworldliness and absence of ambition. He smiled at this and said: "Yes, I am afraid I am too easy-going."

And whether he take to literary expression by pen or only wag the tongue of him, the grocer's boy of letters is sure to prove a prodigious bore.
That she was not demonstratively thankful was no fault of hers.
