"They ought to be written on tablets of stone like the Ten Commandments," she commented frivolously. "It rather reminds me of being at school again. I've never lived in a boarding-house before, you know; I had rooms in the house of an old servant of ours. Well, here goes!" twisting the framed set of rules round with its face to the wall.
"You know, Johnny, even the best of men do marry so so surprisingly. She might have been " "'She might have been a Roosian, or French or Dutch or Proosian," he quoted frivolously. "Well, Phyllis, I'm glad you approve of my ah choice. How long do you think it will take it to get its hat on?" "Oh, you can laugh," Phyllis answered him, "but I know you're proud of her, just the same."
There is probably more than one person living who has received a reply beginning "Dear So-and-So, Thanks for your interesting and partially legible epistle," or words to that effect. But that is a part of the matter which lies outside our range. On the probable general fact, however, some observations may be less frivolously based.
There had been some merrymaking that would hardly have been allowed at home, and a young man who had sat on the doorstep and talked, who had taken her driving, and with whom she had wickedly and frivolously danced one afternoon when a party of young people had a merrymaking after the hay was in. It was the only time in her life she had ever danced, and it was a glimpse of fairy delight to her.
He has planted his foot where it lighted by mishanter, and a' the guid an' ill in Scotland wadna budge him frae the spot." "Dear me! that so powerful a mind should be so frivolously engaged! Making ballads, you say? with what success?" "Ah, Matthew lad, when the strong man puts out his strength," said my companion, "there's naething frivolous in the matter, be his object what it may.
I wore a little silvery-grey chip hat, trimmed with pale pink flowers, and I pinned at my belt the sweetest cluster of old-fashioned blush rosebuds from the garden. Then I borrowed a hymn book from Mrs. Blake and ran down to undergo Aunt Martha's scrutiny. "Dear me, child," she said discontentedly, "you have gotten yourself up very frivolously, it seems to me."
Thus man wishes woman to be peaceable: but in fact woman is ESSENTIALLY unpeaceable, like the cat, however well she may have assumed the peaceable demeanour. One is punished best for one's virtues. He who cannot find the way to HIS ideal, lives more frivolously and shamelessly than the man without an ideal. From the senses originate all trustworthiness, all good conscience, all evidence of truth.
He distinctly heard movements in his study below. Jumping up, he slided into his carpet slippers and crept downstairs. There was a light in his study. He looked round the half-open door and saw the back view of a boy in pyjamas. The whole incident is much too sinister for me to remind you frivolously that little Carpet Slippers was once again round his corner.
It is particularly so with regard to the women; who have the utmost contempt for those men, that, having no character nor consideration with their own sex, frivolously pass their whole time in 'ruelles' and at 'toilettes'. They look upon them as their lumber, and remove them whenever they can get better furniture.
During the wild climb, and wilder drop, we had hardly spoken to each other, yet I felt that I could never misunderstand him, or try frivolously to aggravate him again. He was too good for all that, too good to be played with. "You are a man a real man," I said to myself.
