In the windows of the downtown shops, with no pretence whatever of the curtains customary in the East, men clerks disrobe and re-robe life-sized female models of an appalling nude flesh-likeness. They dress these helpless ladies in all the fripperies of femininity from the wax out, oblivious to the flippant comments of gathering crowds. It's all a part of that civic candor somehow.
So the place was sold, and Steynholme knows "the postmaster's daughter" no more. Winter and Furneaux week-ended with them recently at a pretty little nook in Dorset. Hart, just home from the Balkans, traveled from town with the detectives, and Doris, a radiant young matron, was as flippant as the best of them.
I wonder now if he does catch it, does she lose it?" Flippant as were the words, the voice that uttered them shook a little. Aunt Hannah smiled indulgently Aunt Hannah had heard only the flippancy, not the shake. "I don't know, my dear. You might ask him this afternoon." Billy made a sudden movement. The china egg in her lap rolled to the floor.
And, therefore, knowing that he is struggling to do the best he can, while he may differ with you, while he may do things that seem to you absurd, consider that he is there, elected by the American people, as your representative, and remember that while he is in office he is entitled to your respect. Now, don't be flippant in regard to him.
The Lay Reader is almost sure to call.... He's a dear delightful soul of course, but I'm afraid he has an amorous eye." "All Lay Readers have amorous eyes," reflected her husband. "Taken all in all it is a great asset." "Don't be flippant!" admonished Flame's Mother. "There are reasons ... why I prefer that Flame's first offer of marriage should not be from a Lay Reader." "Why?" brightened Flame.
Hence the drama, to interest at all, must cater to this longing for contention, which is one of the primordial instincts of the crowd. It must present its characters in some struggle of the wills, whether it be flippant, as in the case of Benedick and Beatrice; or delicate, as in that of Viola and Orsino; or terrible, with Macbeth; or piteous, with Lear.
She was self-willed, extravagant, careless of the future, and her flippant opinion, delivered to Althea, of the Service Bureau and work in general, was all that was needed to convince the shrewd junior of Jean's true position in life.
It was seen that we were unpractical in our Instruction, that minds passed under the discipline of school and came out again, still slovenly, unobservant, unscientific in temper, impatient, flippant, inaccurate, tending to guess and to jump at conclusions, to generalize hastily, etc.
"I didn't mean to be flippant, mother," said Eleanor penitently, "but I do believe the Christian religion has got to be presented in a different way, and a more vital way, to appeal to a new generation. I am merely looking facts in the face." "What is the Christian religion?" asked Sally's husband, George Bridges, who held a chair of history in the local flourishing university.
"After all, there's nothing to prove that she is unhappy. For all we know they may have settled down into a most domestic couple." Stroeve gave me a look with his woeful eyes. "Of course it doesn't much matter to you, but to me it's so serious, so intensely serious." I was sorry if I had seemed impatient or flippant. "Will you do something for me?" asked Stroeve. "Willingly."
