Beneath all that was artificial, all that fashion prescribed and society had taught, was the essential womanhood which alone can win and retain a true man's homage. For reasons just the reverse of those which explained Amy's indisposition to sentiment, she also had been kept fancy-free.
Southey was engaged to a sister of the bride, and there was still a third sister fancy-free. The three poets became fast friends. They were all radicals, full of ambition to make a name for themselves, and all intent on elevating society out of the ruts into which it had fallen. All had suffered contumely on account of advanced ideas; and all were out of conceit with the existing order.
She was of that divine and indefinite height known as medium; slender but perfectly molded; strong but graceful, an absolutely healthy young person whose beauty knew well how to take care of itself. Being quite heart-whole and fancy-free, she slept well, ate well, and enjoyed every minute of life.
What more could a man ask than a good horse, a faithful and intelligent dog, a mission of trust, and sixty undisturbed miles of wondrous upland o'er which to journey, fancy-free and clad in cowboy garb? Nothing more except and Sundown realized with a slight sensation of emptiness that he had forgotten to eat breakfast.
He was shocked to think of his cousin, walking above, fancy-free in maiden meditation, whilst this conversation regarding her was carried on below. How could he face her, or her mother, or even her maid, now he had cognisance of this naughty calumny? "Of course Hannah had contradicted it?"
All which would be nothing, or almost less, to Wilhelmina, walking fancy-free there, were it not for Papa and Mamma, and the importunate insidious by-standers. Who do make a thing of it, first and last!

"I shall be happy if you are faithful. My lover is constant, kind, gentle and amiable; yet my heart has ever been fancy-free with him." "Then his own heart must be the same; for if his love was of the same nature as mine you would never have made me happy." "He loves me as I love you; do you believe in my love for you?" "Yes, I want to believe in it; but you would not allow me to...."
The boys in the street might wander fancy-free, and fire their Chinese crackers as they listed; but for him this was a solemn occasion, and he invited his hearers to a Stoic feast of Medford crackers and water, to a philosophic banquet of metaphors and metaphysics. We confess that we expected a great deal. Better a crust with Plato than nightingales' tongues with Apicius; and if Mr.
He believed she spoke lightly, girlishly, to tease him that she was only a gay-hearted girl, fancy-free and just a little proud of her conquest over even him. "I surrender. Say what you like," he said, resignedly. "I'll stand anything just to get your letters." "If you go I'll write as often as you want me to," she replied. With that they emerged upon the harvest-field.
