Then, after our mid-day meal, we went forth to see the show. This time I had the care of Gabrielle, and wished I had not, for she was in her giddiest humor, and a young man, whose appearance I did not like, continually hung about us, and looked attentively at her, which I resented, but she was evidently pleased with.
Thus are my imputed good qualities to be made my punishment; and I am to wedded to a monster Can this, Clarissa, be from you? Confined, as if, like the giddiest of creatures, I would run away with this man, and disgrace my whole family! O my dearest Mamma! who can be patient under such treatment? Now, Clary, I suppose you will allow me to speak. I think I have had patience indeed with you.
The two chestnut-trees in our front courtyard are in full flower; the few plants in the greenhouse are all putting out buds. Where shall we be when the buds become flowers? Last year at this time it was the height of the giddiest of giddy seasons. One can hardly believe it is the same Paris. My father-in-law feels very bad that I did not leave when I still had the chance.
They never go astray, they are the gentle maiden sisters of all souls, the faded feminine love-psalms of a benighted ministry who wither and grow old without ever suspecting that their hope was marriage no less than it is the hope of the giddiest girl. However, a preacher rarely takes one of them for his first wife.
When all was completed to his satisfaction he left for Compiègne to supervise the arrangements made for the reception of his new consort, and spent the last week of waiting there. Of all his family the giddiest and most worldly was his sister Pauline. She and his sister-in-law, the sensible and charming Queen of Westphalia, were chosen to advise and counsel regarding matters of dress and behavior.
Tell me, my dear Miss Howe, tell me truly, if your unbiassed heart does not despise me? It must! for your mind and mine were ever one; and I despise myself! And well I may: For could the giddiest and most inconsiderate girl in England have done worse than I shall appear to have done in the eye of the world?
Facts, and the consequences of facts, draw the writer back to the falconer's lure from the giddiest heights of speculation.
Consider that the end of a line, some two hundred feet long, is to be carried aloft, in your teeth, if you please, and dragged far out on the giddiest of yards, and after being wormed and twisted about through all sorts of intricacies turning abrupt corners at the abruptest of angles is to be dropped, clear of all obstructions, in a straight plumb-line right down to the deck.
The trunks of colossal trees lay about in numbers. Apparently they had all been cross-cut in sections like those sawed for shake bolts, for each was many times clearly divided. The sections, however, lay all in place; so the trunks of the trees were as they had fallen. About the ground were scattered fragments of rock of all sizes, like lava, but of all the colours of the giddiest parrots.
The clouds were drifting over the moon at their giddiest speed; at one time wholly obscuring her; at another, suffering her to burst forth in full splendour and shed her light on all the objects around; anon, driving over her again, with increased velocity, and shrouding everything in darkness.
