He leaned toward her, and just touched her arm with one of his powerful hands. "You must tell me to-night whether he is going to be worth while." "Won't you know?" "I might when I got him before a New York audience. But you are more likely to know to-night." "I have got rather a flair, I believe. Now I'll taste the new work."
W. never trusted him very much, and his flair was right, as he was anything but true to him. The last days of the Congress were very busy ones. The negotiations were kept secret enough, but things always leak out and the papers had to say something.
From a drawer of her desk she took a recent letter from a Bainbridge correspondent and re-read the part referring to the Spence reception. "Really, it was quite well done," she read. "Old Miss Campion has a 'flair' for the suitabilities, and now that so many are trying to be smart or bizarre, it is a relief to come back to the old pleasant suitable things you know what I mean.
She's at an age and with a temperament like hers she'll believe anything, if once her affections are roused. She has a flair for the romantic, for the thing that's out of reach the bird on the highest branch, the bird in the sky beyond ours, the song that was lost before time was, the light that never was on sea or land.
At any rate, Kendall, as finally turned out, had a brain that put him in the first rank of scientists when he felt like it the general constitution of an ostrich and a flair for gambling.

One evening at dinner the conversation turned upon music, and a guest regretted the mechanical performance of the musical prodigies at the Conservatoire.

The stranger still regarded on the face before him a slow recession of that false calm there, imposed, as it seemed, by habit or some studied trick, upon words so embittered as to accuse in their speaker an unhealthiness, a flair, for the cruder things of life.
"They tell me," she continued pensively, "that Englishmen more than any other men in the world have the flair for saying convincingly the things which they do not mean." "In my case, that would not be true," he answered. "My trouble is that I dare not say one half of what I feel." She looked across the table at him, and Nigel suddenly felt a great weight of depression lifted from his heart.
Gallery 56 is a typical modern American room, with good landscapes in the work of Breuer, Borg, Davol, and Stokes. Gallery 65 contains some of the best American figure paintings in the building. The finest group is that by Cecilia Beaux on wall D, which well displays that remarkable artist's brilliant technique and "flair."
If the researcher had not followed a false scent across the Channel, if his flair for tragic passion had not destroyed in him all sense of proportion, he could not possibly have missed it; for it stared him in the face, simple, obvious, inevitable. But miss it he certainly did.
