My mother then prepared to bid adieu to them and return to her home, never for a moment listening to the repeated petitions of her lover to marry him. She would not go into a family where she was not welcome. Her high-toned principles won for her additional love and respect.
Afterward he showed her how to despatch her father's message, and as she turned away the telegraph operator grinned at Prescott. "Where are all these high-toned English girls coming from, Jack?" he said. "You have brought another one this time." Leaving the man without an answer, Prescott rejoined his companion. "Are there any English people staying near the settlement?" she asked.
An old gentleman, recalling those vanished hours, tried to recapture in words his state of mind as he sat in the darkened chapel, while Dr. Arnold's sermons, with their high-toned exhortations, their grave and sombre messages of incalculable import, clothed, like Dr. Arnold's body in its gown and bands, in the traditional stiffness of a formal phraseology, reverberated through his adolescent ears.
Not being a saint, of course he can plead no high-toned sense of need of physical culture, to warrant these indulgences. He goes because he likes it, gets enjoyment, exercise, rest for a mind tasked to the full with the day's work.
What I felt was this I've nothing against West, but my girl's good enough for anybody, and I can't have his people in England looking down on her and making trouble.

She's your sister, and would sooner cut off her right hand than hurt you." Elia laughed silently. There was a fiendishness in his manner that was absolutely repulsive. "Guess you're wrong," he said decidedly. "It wouldn't break Eve's heart worth a cent. She don't care a cuss for him, since since that night. Eve's a heap high-toned in her notions. He hit her. He nigh killed her.
Exceedingly amiable, with an abject amiability and evident desire to please, but constantly blundering through a tactless desire to make their grandeur felt. The high-toned friends of Hartrott emphasized their love for France, but it was the pious love that a weak and mischievous child inspires, needing protection.
We have already seen the violent expressions of hatred which the ardent and high-toned soul of Tacitus thought applicable to the Christians; and such language is echoed by Roman writers of every character and class.
It's not to his interest to push it. Lord, no! Whatever you did his way is that he'd not condescend to say a darned word. High-toned silence, that's all." The Duke of Stone was chuckling very softly. His chuckles rather broke his words when he spoke. "By by Jove!" he said. "You you do see it, don't you? You do see it." Tembarom nursed his knee comfortably. "Why," he said, "it's what keeps me up.
