Now you and I shall never quarrel again. I was quite right. Such impertinence! Such indelicacy! A fine prospect for me if I had married such a man! However, he is gone, and so there's an end of it. The idea! telling a young lady, before her father, she is tight-laced! If you had not been there I could have forgiven him. But I am not; it is a story.
He remembered now he had kept his first books in the back of the account book that she had used for the house. Ebenezer glanced sharply at his bookkeeper. To his annoyance, the man was smiling with perfect comprehension and sympathy. Ebenezer averted his eyes, and the bookkeeper felt dimly that he had been guilty of an indelicacy toward his employer, and hastened to cover it.
Impropriety, in the sense of indelicacy, is out of the question in a a communication of this kind. Strict appropriateness, on the other hand, is not always easy to capture. May I take it that your friend has er enjoyed a seafaring past?" Cai gazed blankly at him for a short while, and broke into a simple hearty laugh. "Why, of course," said he, "you're thinking of my friend 'Bias Hunken!
"And, tell me now, do you teach them to be good daughters and wives and mothers?" he asked, with his air of convincing simplicity. "Do you teach them their duties to their husbands and children, ma'am, may I ask?" Miss de Crespigny positively gasped. There was an indelicacy about the General's speech, to her manner of thinking.
Yet that is just one of the loyal things a friend can do, sometimes when it would be impossible for a man himself to do himself justice with others.

"He blew out the light. "'Have you your pistols? "'Why? "'Why, to defend yourself, replied Emma. "'From your husband? Oh, poor devil!" And Rodolphe finished his phrase with a gesture which signified: I could crush him with a fillip. She was amazed at his bravery, although she felt that there was a sort of indelicacy and naïve grossness about it that was scandalizing.
In that climate, Professor Rebner claimed with assurance, although he had never been abroad, one can eat and drink his fill without causing the human system to rebel as it is apt to in our dry, high-strung America. His pupil's appetite would come back. Hearty meals of robust cheese and sausages would be craved with an honest, clamorous hunger that meant foolish indelicacy here at home.
You wish to have, like man, the exercise of your own free will, the entire responsibility of all your actions, so as to establish the fact, that a woman left completely to herself, may equal man in reason, wisdom, uprightness, and surpass him indelicacy and dignity. That is your design, my dear young lady. It is noble and great. Will your example be imitated?
Douce showed three small teeth, which were all that, in the front of his mouth, fate had left him; and then, as if alarmed at the indelicacy of a smile upon such a subject, pushed back his chair, and twitched up his blotting-paper-coloured trousers. "Yes, in a few months I hope she will be Lady Vargrave; and you know then, Mr. Douce, that I shall be in no want of money."
Let me transcribe a picture of Prince Rupert, drawn by a man who was far from having the least portion of wit in that age, who was superior to its indelicacy, and who yet was so overborne by its prejudices, that he had the complaisance to ridicule virtue, merit, talents. But Prince Rupert, alas! was an awkward lover!"
