Respect for his motives, however, and his unimpeachable record saved him from everything but an admonition from the president, which changed into a discussion of cotton printing before that august official had delivered half of his intended rebuke. People might not enthuse over Peter, but no one ever quarrelled with him.
Heathcroft did not enthuse. "Oh," he said dubiously. "A relative of yours, I suppose." "A cousin, that's all." "One's relatives, particularly the feminine relatives, incline toward eccentricity as they grow older, don't you think. I have an aunt down in Sussex, who is queer. A good sort, too, no end of money, a big place and all that, but odd.
"You don't seem to take it over enthusiastically, Stanninghame," went on Holmes. "And you and she were rather thick towards the end of the voyage," he added mischievously. "Did you ever know me enthuse about anything, Holmes?
As soon as we meet a Russian, an Italian, a Swede, a Spaniard, or an Englishwoman with a pretty face, we immediately fall in love with her. We enthuse over everything which comes from outside clothes, hats, gloves, guns and women. But what a blunder! "I believe that that which pleases us in foreign women is their accent.
He has no pose about the beauty of nature as against the beauty of man's creations, and he thinks that a puffing freight engine, dragging a load of cars up a grade, is as much a thing to enthuse about as a graceful deer sniffing the scent of the hunter in some pine grove.
The editor of the Argus sighed at this point, and I thought he might be wishing that all feminine newcomers could be like the latest.

Solon must not, he confided to me, say "enthuse" nor "we opine" nor "disremember."
Even Bluff's raillery failed to enthuse him, and the look he cast toward the shore was most pitiful and woebegone. Seeing this, Frank took pity on his sick chum. "Hand me that camera, Bluff; and you, Jerry, grab hold of this wheel here. Keep her just as we are, and dodge the big waves as they come, or else we'll all get a beautiful ducking."
"Around Greensboro the country is flat. I think the hills are much more beautiful. And the lake is just dear." "Ya-as," sighed her aunt. "Artis' folks come here an' paint this lake. I reckon it's purty; but ye sort er git used ter it after a while." It was evidently hard for Aunt 'Mira to enthuse over anything. Marty volunteered: "We got a waterfall on our place. Folks call it the Shower Bath.
It did not seem either to enthuse or worry him very much. He said: "I just got a telegram from Mike Sweeney to wait and see him in New York before going to New Haven. I suppose he wants to advise me not to go and tackle the job, but I'm going just the same. Yale can't be much worse off for my going than she is to-day."
It isn't much, but little as it is I can't squeeze a red cent of ready money out of him, and I see no earthly way of getting square with him only by giving him an order for whatever new printing stuff we may require, and in that way change the balance of trade in my direction. Exhibit No. 3. Do I make myself clear?" "Perfectly." "But you don't seem to enthuse over the prospects."
