All these guests, injured or well, crippled or whole, were gay and talkative. Gestures, hysterical smiles marked their conduct. Their faces showed no spell of horror. Men had looked at the long row of dead on the platform at the station. "That is my father," said one; and another, "This is my sister," but they spoke impersonally, and only to satisfy the curiosity of others.
You're going to learn what it is to oh, damn it!" He was impersonally admiring her Whistler when the maid brushed aside the portieres. She had come to bring Mrs. Van Tyle a telegram. "No answer, Pratt." After the maid had retired her mistress called James to her side. Over her shoulder he read it. "Glad he is an American and not living on his father. Didn't think you had so much sense.
Thurston glanced up impersonally, hesitated between annoyance and a natural desire to, be courteous, and replied that he had no memory of any previous meeting. "Mebby not," admitted the other, and searched the face of Thurston with his keen eyes. It came to Phil that they were also a bit wistful, but he went unsympathetically back to his reading.
Daniel Burton is too near, an' Mis' McGuire an' all them others is too far. You ain't a relation, an' yet you care. You do care, don't you? about Mr. Keith?" "Why, of of course. I care a great deal, Susan." Miss Dorothy spoke very lightly, very impersonally; but there was a sudden flame of color in her face. Susan, however, was not noticing this.
Because he had no delusions. He knew that he was only an employee, that a girl of her caste would ever regard him as the great regard those that serve them kindly but impersonally but for now he asked for nothing more. To him she was a creature past belief, a being from another world, and he was content to serve her humbly.
In employing every phase of the external point of view except the one which has been last discussed, the author is free to choose between two very different tones of narrative, the impersonal and the personal. He may either obliterate or emphasize his own personality as a factor in the story. The great epics and folk-tales have all been told impersonally.
They went over the venerable house with the same thoroughness, and Peter sensed the owner's impersonally personal delight in the stewardship of a priceless possession. He held it in trust, and he loved it with a quiet passion that was as much a part of himself as was his English speech.
Yet it often happens that some of these beings, having something in common with creatures we are wont to notice, since we stand to them in sexual, parental, or hostile relations, cannot well go unobserved. Their presence fills us with a vague general emotion, the arrested possibility at once of sexual, of parental, and of hostile actions. This emotion is gregarious or impersonally social.
"Your Highness" he spoke as impersonally as a judge ruling from the bench "I must remind you again that I am your escort to-night only in order that someone else may not be. What his plans were, I need not now say, but I know, and it became my duty to thwart him. It is hardly necessary to explain how I discovered Mr. Benton's purpose. It was not easy, but it has been accomplished.
She dropped her chin on her breast and from under her straight eyebrows the deep blue eyes remained fixed on me, impersonally, as if without thought. “What have you been doing since you left me yesterday?” she asked. “The first thing I remember I abused your sister horribly this morning.” “And how did she take it?” “Like a warm shower in spring. She drank it all in and unfolded her petals.”
