Blunt, with an almost youthful ingenuousness, and in those black eyes which looked at me so calmly there was a flash of the Southern beauty, still naïve and romantic, as if altogether untouched by experience. “I don’t think there is a single grain of vulgarity in all her enchanting person. Neither is there in my son. I suppose you won’t deny that he is uncommon.” She paused.
They looked on, vaguely blanched with the reflection of so much joy at this sweet swarming of the hives. It was like a shower of roses falling athwart this house of mourning. The young girls frolicked beneath the eyes of the nuns; the gaze of impeccability does not embarrass innocence. Thanks to these children, there was, among so many austere hours, one hour of ingenuousness.
A certain degree of shyness and even awkwardness is not at all a disagreeable thing indeed it is rather a desirable quality in the young. A perfectly self-possessed and voluble young man arouses in one a vague sense of hostility, unless it is accompanied by great modesty and ingenuousness.
He knew there was not a grain of indelicacy or boldness in it; it was simply a truthful expression of a pure and noble nature, the spontaneous outburst of a holy affection responding to the sacred love of his own heart, and the avowal aroused a profound reverence for an ingenuousness that was as rare as it was perfect. He bent down and touched his lips to her silken hair.
I may knock and knock at the door of the Temple of Fame until my knuckles are sore, and who will take any notice unless, perhaps, some friendly ear begins to listen? Do you think Mr. Mangan did you say Mangan? do you think he would come and dine with us some evening?" The artless ingenuousness of her speech was almost embarrassing. "He is a very busy man," he said, doubtfully, "very busy.
Mr Sparkler might have replied with ingenuousness, 'My life, I have nothing to say. But, as the repartee did not occur to him, he contented himself with coming in from the balcony and standing at the side of his wife's couch. 'Good gracious, Edmund! said Mrs Sparkler more fretfully still, you are absolutely putting mignonette up your nose! Pray don't!
Once more she gazed at the princess, who was talking and laughing gayly with her husband and Count Kalkreuth. "How her cheeks glow, and what tender glances she throws him!" murmured Louise. "Ah! the prince has fallen a victim to his ingenuousness! Verily, he is again praising the merits of his friend. He tells her how Kalkreuth saved his life how he received the blow meant for his own head.
Philoctetes filled the Greek stage with his lamentations; Hercules himself, when in fury, does not keep under his grief. Iphigenia, on the point of being sacrificed, confesses with a touching ingenuousness that she grieves to part with the light of the sun.
In the mean time, from one cause and another, insensibly I fell behind. The others passed on out of sight. The path, having lulled me into a confiding unconcern, started in seeming innocence of purpose to climb again. Its ingenuousness but prefaced a malicious surprise.
She had been very reluctant to assume the attitude required of her, and only her respect for his wishes and the good of the cause, and the assurance he had given her of the entire ingenuousness of my own motive, had induced her finally to yield. After some talk as to the significance of the interview before me, which I was too much agitated to comprehend, he bade me follow him.
