Her mouth was large, and full of character, and her chin oval, dimpled, and finely chiselled, like her father's. I beg you, in taking her for all in all, to admit that she was a fine, handsome, high-spirited young woman. And now for my fact. At the time of which I am writing she was already engaged to be married. Lady Macleod I cannot say that the house in Queen Anne Street was a pleasant house.
She felt the necessity of being adorable, of falling into an artistic pose as though she were on a stage. She was passing between the two masses of men, head erect, stepping firmly with the high-spirited tread of a goddess-huntress, sometimes casting a glance on some of the hundreds of eyes fixed upon her.
He hurried along the passage, with his eyes fixed upon the ground and his hand clenched. "What ho! Linden, my good fellow; why, you look as if all the ferocity of the great Figg were in your veins," cried a good-humoured voice. Clarence started, and saw the young and high-spirited Duke of Haverfield. "Are you going behind the scenes?" said his grace.
Murrays, Nairnes and Frasers had all fought on the Jacobite side in 1745; and we know how the Scots hold together. James Murray, son of a Scottish peer, Lord Elibank, was himself still a young man of only a little more than thirty, a high-spirited, brave, generous and impulsive officer.
'We will take care of you, answered her ladyship; and in the discussion which followed she bore herself so firmly that her husband was fain to give way. How could a disgraced and ruined man, broken in health and spirits, contest the mere details of life with a high-spirited woman ten years his junior?
But now she had come back to the friends, the horses, the dogs, the rooms, the gardens, the fields, the forests of youth, and was going to be the real Vixen again; the wild, thoughtless, high-spirited girl whom Squire Tempest and all the peasantry round about had loved. "I have been ridiculously well-behaved," she said to herself, "quite a second edition of mamma.
The poor-spirited ones whine, with an eye on my pocket, and where I used to get welcoming smiles I now only get expectant grins. And the high-spirited ones are so afraid that I'll offer them help that their time is spent in snubbing me and keeping me in my place." "It's no use getting down about it," Pamela told her.
He had no hopes of retaining and extending his newly-acquired superiority over that kingdom, but by supporting so base and degenerate a prince, who was willing to sacrifice every consideration to his present safety: and he foresaw that, if the administration should fall into the hands of those gallant and high-spirited barons, they would vindicate the honour, liberty, and independence of the nation, with the same ardour which they now exerted in defence of their own.
"But, my dear boy, I said I was sure you did not mean it," said Miss Dora; "I told Mr Morgan I felt convinced it could be explained. Nobody knows you so well as I do. You were always high-spirited from a child, and never would give in; but I know very well you never could mean it, Frank." "Mean it?" said the Curate, with sparkling eyes: "what do you take me for, aunt Dora?
"Edward was very high-spirited as a child," said Aunt Ellen, "and our dear father did not sufficiently realise that if he encouraged him to break away from his lessons, which we all took it in turns to give him, it made him difficult to teach."
