She bore a likeness to her father, little to her mother, though he fancied the reverse and gave her the mother's lips and hair. Thinking of herself, however, was destructive to the form of her mirror of knightliness: he wavered, he fled for good, as the rosy vapour born of our sensibility must do when we relapse to coldness, and the more completely when we try to command it.
They were no more urged by motives of self-interest than were the men who enlisted in Kitchener's mob. It wasn't the threat to their national security that brought them; it was the lure of an ideal the fine white knightliness of men whose compassion had been tormented and whose manhood had been challenged.
There are women who have them, and have not been driven or let slip into the wilderness. 'Yes; I know! those ideas of yours! Nataly had once admired him for his knightliness toward the weakest women and the women underfoot. 'You have spoken to this woman? She boasted of acquaintance with Nesta?

Diana said, in praise of these long married lovers; and she asked them what they had talked of during the night.
So unabashed in such a presence, he would be tenacious of his purpose and hold to his vow with unflinching knightliness. Venice and his lady were included in his sworn allegiance, and to seek to make them rivals would be a danger for the Republic.
By the luck of a catching phrase applied to him by Robert G. Ingersoll, he stood before the imagination of the country "as the plumed knight," although on looking back we search in vain for any trait of knightliness or chivalry in him. For a score of years he filled the National Congress, House and Senate, with the bustle of his egotism.
His chivalrous acceptance of the conditions of their renewed intimacy was a radiant knightliness to Diana, elevating her with a living image for worship: he so near once to being the absolute lord of her destinies! How to reward him, was her sole dangerous thought.
