"La famille de Barbérie est honorable, Monsieur mais le Grand Monarque fut un pen trop exigeant. Vraiment, la dragonade était mal avisée, pour faire des chrétiens!" "Apoplexies and hurry! you should have sent for the farrier to administer to the sufferer, thou black hound!" "'Em go for a butcher, Masser, to save he skin; for he war' too soon dead." The word dead produced a sudden pause.
At last, at last, the 29th of May dawned, boiling hot and cloudlessly fair. For obvious reasons they stayed beyond sight of the coast until darkness fell, and then came close inshore. It was a starlit night, with not a breath of air, and no moon would illuminate their whereabouts. Paul dressed with the greatest care; never had he been more particular over his toilet. Tompson found him exigeant!
This was a most distasteful suggestion to Gaston, who had a masculine touch of jealousy in his composition, just enough to make him desire to monopolize Bertha entirely. He was not willing that she should have a thought which she could not communicate to him; to hide anything from him was to rob him! Was his an exceptional case, or are men in general as exigeant? "Well, you do not answer?"
He had assumed an easy way of almost laughing at her, of quizzing her pursuits, and, worse still, of only half listening to her, which she felt to promise very badly for her future happiness. If he wanted his liberty he should have it, now and then. She would never be a drag on her husband's happiness. She had resolved from the very first not to be an exigeant wife.
She could not do otherwise than accept him, for he was rich, and she had nothing; but he turns out ill-tempered and exigeant, and wants a young woman, a beautiful young woman of five-and-twenty, to be as steady as himself. And my friend does not manage him well; she does not seem to know how to make the best of it.
Moore vindicates his own dignity; but the sense of intrinsic worth, of wide-spread fame, and of the intimacy of the great makes him perhaps a little too fastidious and exigeant as to the pretensions of others.
I am not sure but it would be better for me to go abroad. We could write letters, and you could decide how much you cared." She glances up in a dismay so wild that he feels inclined to laugh in pure joy. She studies out the meaning: it is for her to say whether he shall go or not. "Oh, I shall keep you here! I shall be jealous and exigeant like Polly, and you "
He refused, however, to accept the young man's hospitality, and spent the two days of his sojourn in the house of a certain Malhortie, where he felt more at ease in his conferences with Lorrainers willing to proceed further to the disadvantage of their new sovereign. The ally certainly became more exigeant.
And then the way he had made it possible for her, with a single word, to send him away! And the restraint of that "I want to see you very much!" It wasn't like any Rodney she knew, to be humble like that. His humility stripped her of her armor. If he'd been imperious, exigeant, she could have gone down to meet him with her head up.
He cicerones delighted parties of lady-friends with his face all one smile of courtesy, or he does the honours with dignity and a lofty sense of we do not speak disrespectfully of being on his own dunghill, in respect to the more important exigeant connoisseurs, whom he thinks it right to patronise. He always praises his brethren's works, and discovers in them hidden virtues.
