It took a vast amount of wind out of his sails, but he was on his feet and so had to make a speech. He was not very abusive, but managed to make it plain that there were others ready and able to lead if their leader failed to do his duty. When he had succeeded in getting his train of thought out over the switches his hearers, especially the no-surrenderers, began to enthuse.
I can enthuse over the robin's song in the spring, and the sound of the summer wind rippling through the ripened wheat is not without its attractions for me; but when I hear people going into convulsions of joy over Signor Massacre's immortal opera of Medulla Oblongata I feel that I am out of my element and I start back-pedaling.
Trudy was seldom angry. But when she found Mary in the old library, the same true-blue, good-looking thing with just a little coldness of manner as Trudy tried to enthuse over her, Trudy felt ashamed. And she was angry far more often than she was ashamed. "Where is Luke?" she asked, taking off her things and lying down wearily on the sofa.
The other seemed wildly excited, for the first thing he did was to burst forth with: "Jack, I've gone and done it, I do believe, this time! Yes, sir, I've struck an idea that promises fairly to revolutionize iceboats. It came to me like a flash, and I'm wild to know what you think about it." Jack did not enthuse as much as Toby would have liked to see.
I was impelled toward turbulence, the dynamic, the theatric. Naturally, I was an anarchist. Am I today? I believe I still am. In those days I used to enthuse about the future, and I hated the past. Little by little, this turbulence has calmed down perhaps it was never very great.
"Miss Dayton dresses richly, but I should not say that 'showy' was a fitting word to apply to her refined taste." "Indeed!" said Polly, sharply. "Well, I shall wear my red gauze over satin, and I fancy Peggy will not choose a very simple frock for the occasion." "Just my blue silk, dear," Peggy remarked lazily, "and since you've all seen it you will not have to enthuse over it."
It was finished at last, and Mrs Phillips stood revealed with her hair down, showing streaks of dingy brown. Joan tried to enthuse; but the words came haltingly. She suggested to Joan a candle that some wind had suddenly blown out. The paint and powder had been obvious, but at least it had given her the mask of youth. She looked old and withered. The life seemed to have gone out of her.
He hardly opens his mouth on the way up to the hotel, but trails along silent, his eyes fixed starey, like he was thinkin' deep. "Well," says I, after a bell-hop had shown us into one of the Tillington's air-shaft rooms and gone for ten cents' worth of ice water, "it looks like you had the Big Boss almost buffaloed with that pirate tale of yours." Rupert don't enthuse much at that.
She sat in the middle seat beside her daughter, haughtily gracious and inwardly bored. Margaret's enthusiasm irritated her. The woman going to her exile was in no mood to enthuse over nature. Holcomb drove, with Thayor on the front seat beside him; on the back seat sat Blakeman and Annette, in respectful silence.
"I hope you've come to lunch," she remarked; "I have the most delightful young person staying with me. You'll be charmed with her." "A young lady?" I remarked. "Yes! An American girl who talks English and doesn't enthuse. Seems to know something about horses too!" "Where did you discover this paragon?" I asked. "My cousin sent her down. She knows everybody," Lady Dennisford answered.
