Long afterwards, when the Chief Secretary of 1807 had become "the most high, mighty and noble prince," whom all England and nearly all Europe delighted to honour, he defended the Irish administration of which he had formed a part, for its habitual use of corrupt means and influence, in arguments which do more credit to his frankness than his morality.
'What shall I do? she asked. 'I ought not to be here; nobody knows that I am out of the house. Oh, this is a mistake! I must go home somehow. 'Did you hear what they were saying? 'No, said she. 'What is the matter? Surely you are disturbed? What did they say? 'It would be the exaggeration of frankness in me to tell you. 'Is it what a woman ought not to be made acquainted with?
Certainly in reckless courage, power of inspiring dread, sense of personal merit, and frankness of speech the Irish hero is fully equal to the mighty Greek. Cuchulain was the nephew of King Conor of Ulster, son of his sister Dechtire, and it is said that his father was no mortal man, but the great god Lugh of the Long Hand.
A bottle?" demanded Lapham, who stood with his hat on and his hands in his pockets, indifferent alike to the ineffective reception of the sailor and the chair Zerrilla had set him. "Well, yes, it's a bottle," said the woman, with an assumption of virtuous frankness. "It's whisky; I got to have something to rub my rheumatism with." "Humph!" grumbled Lapham.
When Vivian Grey again joined his companions, he found himself almost universally shunned. Etherege and Poynings were the only individuals who met him with their former frankness. "A horrible row, Grey," said the latter. "After you went, the Doctor harangued the whole school, and swears you have seduced and ruined us all; everything was happiness until you came, &c.
One has nothing to do here but grow lazy and ciel! fat." If my meeting with her sister had not made it impossible and absurd, I should have offered my heart to this fair young lady then and there. Now I could not make it seem the part of honor and decency. I could not help adoring her simplicity, her frankness, her beautiful form and face. "It is no prison for me," I said.

"Horrible," Mrs. Fyne admitted with a ready frankness very creditable under the circumstances, and a warmth of tone which made me look at her with a friendly eye. "Horrible! No!
'Thank you, ma'am; that's well. Notwithstanding which, I feel a little I don't want to use a strong word now shall I say hurt? asked Mr Meagles at once with frankness and moderation, and with a conciliatory appeal in his tone. 'Say what you like, answered Mrs Gowan. 'It is perfectly indifferent to me. 'No, no, don't say that, urged Mr Meagles, 'because that's not responding amiably.
A hundred anecdotes might be related of him, all illustrative of his lofty courage, and daring, and his utter contempt of danger. A noble and generous spirit was ever manifested by him, in every relation of life. His frankness and liberal hospitality, his kindness to his slaves, and his generosity to the poor, endeared him to his neighbors, who live to feel that his void can never be filled.
"I forgot that you were along," said Eurie, with her usual frankness. "No, Nell, we don't want you to call with us; not this time." "I might ask for a separate room, and make my call on Miss Grace.
