He sat there in front of her, elegant, impeccably dressed, distinguished, aristocratic, rich, in the full wisdom of his years, and in the strength of his dominating will, and in the righteousness of his heart. One could absolutely trust such as him to do the right thing, and to do it generously, and to do it all the time. And she, she had won him. He had recognised her qualities.
The contours of her head were so impeccably perfect that one scarcely understood how Nature could have made such a being inadvertently, without design. The rosy hue of her complexion made the carnation even of a beautiful woman's face look chalky or crimson by the side of hers.
Decayed gentility marked the neighborhood, though the blank front of the houses looked impeccably respectable. As a feeble camouflage of its real reason for being, Maddock's called itself the "Omnium Club." But when Clay found how particular the doorkeeper was as to those who entered he guessed at once it was a gambling-house. From behind a grating the man peered at them doubtfully.
Orgreave's generous conception of a repast proper to be eaten in a train in place of high tea. He helped her to eat it. As the train approached London he resumed his manhood. And he was impeccably adult as he conducted her from Euston to King's Cross, and put her into a train in a corner of the station that the summer twilight had already taken possession of.
It was examined there, like every book of the kind, through a magnifying glass, strained through a sieve, picked over line by line, turned inside out and upside down; but the theologians employed in this pious custom-house service acknowledged and certified that this work, based on the soundest principles of mysticism, was learnedly, impeccably, desperately orthodox.
Too well I knew for what he was waiting; his sign. So, too, did Mr. Hines, still hard, still pink, still impeccably tailored, and still clinging to his elegant lacquered cane, as he supported little, broken Mr. Munn, very pathetic and decorous in full black, even to the gloves. The sonorous beauty and simplicity of the rite suddenly checked, faltered.
So we went into the garden and discussed the formation next autumn of a new rose-bed. By the afternoon train came Adrian, impeccably vestured and feverish with excitement. Two evening papers which he brandished nervously, proclaimed "The Diamond Gate" a masterpiece. "Wittekind, my publisher, declares it's going to be the biggest thing in first novels ever known.
The legacy of guilt is likewise the theme of "The House of the Seven Gables," which Hawthorne himself was inclined to think a better book than "The Scarlet Letter." Certainly this story of old Salem is impeccably written and its subtle handling of tone and atmosphere is beyond dispute.
As for the Woman Weighing Gold, it is superb Vermeer. There is little danger nowadays of any other painter being saddled with the name of Vermeer. It is usually the other way around, as we have seen. I have the highest admiration for the vivacious and veracious work of these two other men possibly associates of Vermeer. Their surfaces are impeccably rendered.
Her grave acquiescence with his most preposterous expression of feeling; her genial laughter, not only with, but, I often felt, at him though impeccably polite; her innocent questions, which almost invariably led him to say more than he intended Jeff and I found it all amusing to watch. He never seemed to recognize that quiet background of superiority.
