You'd have to strike a light to find it, and I don't want a light now." He was standing on the steps, with her slightly above him, and so close that he heard her sharp-drawn breath. "It has been a pleasant evening," she said, inanely. "I saw you for the first time to-night, Cherry. I think I have begun to know you." Again she felt her heart leap.
She danced as beautifully, dressed as divinely, smiled as bewitchingly, and talked as inanely as ever. Mr. Leonard disapproved of Mr. Willett, but that could not keep him off the post. When mid-July came Willett was there almost every day. Twice he remained overnight, sleeping at the sutler's. The chaplain had been to talk with Mr.
The pictures of an imaginary kind which deal with the subject of romantic love are, almost without exception, fatuous and futile. The inanely amatory, with their languishing eyes, weary us. The endlessly osculatory, with their protracted salutations, are sickening. Even when an air of sentimental propriety is thrown about them by some such title as "Wedded" or "The Honeymoon," they fatigue us.
And, O my brother or sister in sorrow, has it never befallen you, when bending all your energies to the mighty task of "doing" your back-hair, to find yourself gazing inanely at the opaque back of your brush, while the hand-mirror, which had maliciously insinuated itself into your right hand for this express purpose, came down upon your devoted head with a resonant whack?
He pointed to a bronze bust of Van Diest which had been placed on the mantelpiece a few days before, presumably to act as a reminder of the influence dominating the apartment.

Together they carried the bust and soon had tied it securely inside the dressing gown.

"How how are you?" asked Kitty, inanely. "Top-hole, considering. Quite ready to be killed all over again." "You mustn't talk like that!" she protested. "Only to show you I was bucking up. Thank you for doing what you did." "I had to do it." "Most women would have run away and left me to my fate." "Not my kind." "Rather not! Your kind would risk its neck to help a stray cat.
It's their turn now, and you've got to grin and bear it." Mortlake's jaw dropped. His old bullying manner was gone now. Old Man Harding cackled inanely, but said nothing. Only his long, lean fingers drummed on the table. Fanning turned a pasty yellow. He had some idea of what was to come. His eyes fell to the floor, as if seeking some loophole of escape there.
I did not remark that very possibly she was familiar with both on occasions when no one was by. Miss Haldin walked by my side, her head up in scornful and angry silence. "Great men have their surprising peculiarities," I observed inanely. "Exactly like men who are not great. But that sort of thing cannot be kept up for ever. How did the great feminist wind up this very characteristic episode?"
"There is a big moving van in front of the house next door. At last we will have some near neighbors." "Are they unloading furniture?" I asked inanely, crossing to the window. "No; course not," came cheerfully from Huldah, who had come in to remove the dishes. "Most likely they are unloading lions and tigers." As I have already intimated, Huldah was a privileged servant.
