Just when Ambrose fell in love with Miss Aphrodite Tate is not quite clear. She was astoundingly, absolutely, and gratifyingly black, and Ambrose was sure that he had never seen any one quite so beautiful. Aphrodite lived with her parents, the ancient and revered Fremont-Tates, patroons of San Juan.
Hartwell's train was found to be gratifyingly on time; and in due course Billy was extending a cordial welcome to a tall, handsome woman who carried herself with an unmistakable air of assured competence. Accompanying her was a little girl with big blue eyes and yellow curls. "I am very glad to see you both," smiled Billy, holding out a friendly hand to Mrs.
Trains in which others ride may telescope and steamers may take one's acquaintances to watery graves, but to normal people the chance of any catastrophe overtaking them personally must always seem gratifyingly far-fetched and vague. "Think it's funny, do you?" my new friend reproached me.
Also Miss Green's check was gratifyingly large both to her and me. "Will you trade, Roxanne?" I asked again, keeping the eagerness out of my voice with my father's stern will. "Oh, I don't think I ought." Roxanne hesitated and then said: "Are you sure you don't that is, are you sure?" "I am," I answered briskly, and in a business like tone.
Her methods were entirely her own, and gratifyingly free from the superior and patronising airs usually adopted by fine ladies when they go to solicit the votes of that variegated and much-graded community which they cheerfully and indiscriminately sum up as "the lower classes." Let us follow her as she flits on her way to pay a morning call upon Mr Noah Gulching of Jackson's Row.
He patronized her in bland condescension at their journey's start and found her gratifyingly amenable, but they had scarcely crossed the border, before he found to his stupefaction that he was confronted by a will as serenely implacable as his own.
When the Lord Protector died, Broghill made another right-about-face, and crossing to his native country worked so energetically and successfully that he made Ireland solid for the restoration of Charles II. For this service he was rewarded by being created Earl of Orrery. He was the author of six tragedies and two comedies, some of which when produced proved gratifyingly popular.
If he had continued his trot, it would have pierced his heart. Nothing was the worse for that adventure except the broad-head, which was gladly offered to the kindly gods who had so gratifyingly watched for me its straight true flight. And I had just as much satisfaction from the episode as though I had actually slain the deer, and had had to cut it up and carry it into camp.
Thus, in the natural order of things, Davy could safely assume that he would be the next mayor of Remsen City by a gratifyingly large majority. The last vote of the Workingmen's League had been made fifteen hundred. Though it should quadruple its strength at the coming election which was most improbable it would still be a badly beaten second. Politically, Davy was at ease.
And Ruth found herself in that special quandary reserved for independent American girls who want to have their cake and eat it, too. She wanted Bob Martin, and she wanted to be gratifyingly sure that Bob Martin wanted her and then she wanted affairs to stand still at that pleasant pass, while she played about and invited adventure.
