"Well, I will not press for forgiveness now, I think when you see what I have been doing you will overlook the offence." "What have you been doing? I thought you told me that you had quite finished the two pictures, the day you came to say good-bye before you started for Brussels." "René has been criticising them and has shown me where I committed two egregious blunders."
Then the belief gained ground in Cambridge; and with the belief there arose a feeling as to the egregious wrong which was being done. But the Boltons were still assured. None of them had as yet given any sign of yielding. Robert Bolton knew very well that Shand was at Folking, but had not asked to see him. He and Mr.
Kinglake's kind spoiling of a raw young woman, and of the wit, the egregious vanity, the coarseness, the kindness, of that hard old worldling our Lady of Bitterness." In the presence of one man, Tennyson, she laid aside her shrewishness: "talking with Alfred Tennyson lifts me out of the earth earthy; a visit to Farringford is like a retreat to the religious."
"Does this house belong to you or to me, Pauline?" "To you, now; to me, some of these days, when you give it to me for a bridal present." His brow cleared, he looked kindly down into the frank, truthful countenance, and said, with a half-smile: "Do not repeat your voyage of discovery, or perhaps your bridal anticipations may prove an egregious failure. Do you understand me?"
That she should have spoken to him and treated him as she had done produced boundless self-reproach, while her egregious error in estimating his character was humiliating in the last degree. "Fool! fool!" she said, aloud, "where was your woman's intuition?"
Acquaintanceship which is nourished in the sunlight of laughter blooms rapidly into intimacy, and Paul Burton would have been surprised had he known how often his eyes wakened into a tell-tale glow of delight and admiration, and how easily any one looking on might have fallen into the egregious error of construing his attitude into one distinctly loverlike.
But even the level capes of Lancashire were alluring to eyes that saw England, our venerable mother, loom behind them, with her thousand years' pageantry of warfare and civilization. The egregious little island is a thirsty place; the land drinks rain as assiduously as do its inhabitants beer and other liquors.
He was of medium stature, dark haired and bearded. With him was often seen the egregious Mr. Hall was a genuine comedy figure. Such oily and voluble sanctimoniousness needed no modification to be fitted to appear before the footlights in satirical drama.
I confess that I was deriving a purely masculine enjoyment out of this, and intended to push my counter bluff so vigorously that she would be driven to admit her own. Therefore, after I thought the silence had become sufficiently impressive, I yielded to an impulse that many men find irresistible I made an egregious ass of myself.
He who feels in complete harmony with the present state of affairs and who acquiesces in it as something "selbstverständliches," excites our envy neither in regard to his faith nor in regard to that egregious word "selbstverständlich," so frequently heard in fashionable circles.
