Buel," cried the girl admiringly, "you're beginning to talk just like an American yourself." "Oh, now, you are trying to make me conceited." Miss Jessop sighed, and shook her head. "I had nearly forgotten," she said, "that I despised you. I remember now why I began to walk with you. It was not to talk frivolously, but to show you the depth of my contempt!
Then he began to play lightly, sportively, frivolously, as befitted the situation. The melodies of the day were intermingled with fragments of waltzes and ballads; all the ephemeral trifles that Paris hums over for eight days he blended together with brilliantly fluent execution. The ladies uttered exclamations of admiration, and sang a few bars, keeping time with their feet.
"You're such a demanding person." "I know I am about the way things are done. What pleasure is there in anything which offends your sense of fitness?" "You bestow far too much importance on the outside of the cup and platter." Nan shook her head. "Mon verre n'est pas grand, mais Je bois dans mon verre." she quoted, frivolously obstinate. "Bah!"
When the advance of a British Division at a critical period in the operations is frivolously termed a "drive," and when the men extended at ten paces' interval over a wide front are called "beaters," it is natural that the leaders should look upon their work as analogous to the duties of a gamekeeper; and when an artillery officer is instructed to "pitch his shells well up," he is encouraged to regard failure as no worse than the loss of a cricket-match.
There is no Gold Coast on the campus or in the village; money carries no social prestige.

For one moment the guerilla's fiery, piercing eyes dwelt upon her as she stood looking on, her delicately white face grown deathly pallid, her golden hair frivolously blowsed in the wind, which tossed the full skirts of her lilac-hued calico gown till she seemed poised on the very wings of flight.
She would try to do as well as he did. The judge was staring at her in growing perplexity. Who in the world could she be. What did she want? His very greatness in this little town made him accessible. It was so unthinkable a thing that any one should intrude upon his time frivolously. But this girl! She didn't belong in the town.
"There's hair in the parlour," objected Araminta, frivolously, "made up into a wreath of flowers, so I thought as long as you had them made out of dead people's hair, I'd put some roses in mine, now, while I'm alive." Miss Mehitable compressed her lips sternly and went on.
Cameron had insisted, at the last, that she reserve her cash for emergencies and repay him later. Joan accepted this solution, and having arrayed herself frivolously she bought Cuff a most remarkable collar which embarrassed the dog considerably.
I'm speaking of how she took, in her way, each time, THEIR lives in hand, and how, therefore, that ties her up to-day. She can't go to them and say 'It's very awkward of course, you poor dear things, but I was frivolously mistaken." He took it in still, with his long look at her. "All the more that she wasn't. She was right. Everything's right," he went on, "and everything will stay so."
