A pleasantry that a child's mind cannot understand embarrasses him, destroys his ease and confidence, humiliates and even angers him, if he believes that he has been deceived. Monseigneur has more need than most children of this discretion. The directness and generosity of his character incline him to take everything seriously.
But after Dave had gone the editor called his business manager. "I guess we'll have to raise Elden to thirty dollars a week," said he. "He's so honest he embarrasses me, and I guess I need that kind of embarrassment, or I wouldn't be embarrassed."
I practise political virtue: it embarrasses the world, it fogs them, it seems original, because so unnecessary. Mine is the scientific life. Experiment in old substances gives new well, say, new precipitations. But you are scientific, too. You have a laboratory, and have much to do with retorts." "No, you are thinking of my husband. The laboratory is his." "But the retorts are yours."
If you go red I cannot tell you this story, because it embarrasses me." "I haven't gone red," she denied indignantly. "So what are you what is he going to do?" Beale shrugged his shoulders. "He is going to work for a divorce." "But why?" she demanded. "What has she done?" He looked at her in astonishment. "What do you mean?" he stammered.
"No, your work is all right; it wasn't that exactly but never mind, we won't speak of this any more, for I see it embarrasses you." "Thank you, Mr. Hardwick," said Jennie, again bending her eyes on the desk before her. The man saw the colour come and go in her cheeks, and thought he had never beheld anyone so entrancing.
Abundance of those that appear to be his greatest opponents would be very sorry to see him crushed; many others would be very glad to see him get off; not one endeavours to ruin him entirely. You may get clear of the difficulty that embarrasses you by a door which opens into a field of honour and liberty. Paris, whose archbishop you are, groans under a heavy load.
But it is lyric poetry above all that befits the drama; it never embarrasses it, adapts itself to all its caprices, disports itself in all forms, sometimes sublime as in Ariel, sometimes grotesque as in Caliban. Our era being above all else dramatic, is for that very reason eminently lyric.
We have not yet been able to form any definite plan of life. My present wish is that Theodosia should join you, with or without me, as soon as possible. My command here, as brigadier-general, embarrasses me a good deal in the disposal of myself. I would part with Theodosia reluctantly; but if I find myself detained here, I shall certainly do so.
This confusion in thought and language, can lead to no really useful result, while it embarrasses the minds of many, and renders the expression of our ideas less exact and comprehensive than they would otherwise be. We conceive that a man may be very much of a Christian, and very little of a gentleman; or very much of a gentleman, and very little of a Christian.
Wisdom is a treasure which never embarrasses. A young country woman named Perrette set out one morning from her little dairy-farm with a pail of milk which she cleverly balanced upon her head over a pad or cushion.
