"I've been up at Fairview to see about Mrs. Flint. She isn't much better." "Is Victoria home?" Mr. Crewe demanded, with undisguised interest. "Poor dear girl!" said Mrs. Pomfret, "of course I wouldn't have mentioned the subject to her, but she wanted to know all about it. It naturally makes an awkward situation between you and her, doesn't it?" "Oh, Victoria's level-headed enough," Mr.
I also wanted to find out what he thought about Irish affairs. I had heard a good deal more talk about the Ulster situation. Malcolmson got at me nearly every day, and several other men, much more level-headed than Malcolmson, seemed to regard the situation as serious. I heard it hinted that the Army would not relish the idea of shooting the Ulstermen. I understood the feeling.
He made love deliriously, on fire himself for the moment, but never once had he so far forgot himself as to come from the flame in any way singed. Many tragedies lay behind the man, for impulse is hardly a safe guide through life; but he himself was essentially too level-headed, too selfish, to be the one who suffered. He had spoken and danced and made love to Joan on an impulse.
Would not any decent soldier smite him across the face instead of grasping him by the hand? I was profoundly worried. Moreover Betty, level-headed Betty, had called him a devil. Why? If the second part of Somers's story were true, he had acted like a devil. There is no other word for it. Now, what concrete diabolical facts did Betty know?
That would convince him if nothing else would, and it would mean at least a temporary respite. It was a mad thing to do, I know. But I thought you were elderly and level-headed and a confirmed bachelor and and a sort of cousin as well " "To the tenth degree," murmured Rivington. "So I told him," she hurried on, unheeding, "that we were engaged, and it was just going to be announced.
"He's as jolly green as we were when we came here," he added in a whisper. "But he's bright, honest and level-headed, and I've taken a fancy to him and want you to give him a chance." "Do you like to handle books?" asked Mr. Mann. "Yes, sir; very much." "Yes, it's just what he does like," put in the leather merchant. "Place him among the books if you can."
Level-headed and businesslike, he followed his father's vagaries because he saw the commercial possibilities in them ... though he did so more as a practical man with a sense of humour than as a man who was on the make.
A very young girl might think this romantic, though youth is terribly matter-of-fact nowadays. Her elders would certainly consider it rude, and put him down as a man to be avoided. An elderly sentimental spinster would be in a flutter. A level-headed girl would think him a bore, if not a bit of a fool. Love at First Sight. This seems a very large order, for love means so much.
Mollie was a level-headed climber when she had something reasonably solid beneath her feet; no one unfamiliar with the vagaries of the green ladder could be expected to climb it with enthusiasm. She crawled out of the house by the little door again, found her road to the nearest staircase, and climbed this way and that among the leafy branches till she reached the Look-out.
"Thank you for your kind advice, but, if you will reflect, it is out of the question. You forget what you have just said. For a lawyer, my dear friend, you are surprisingly simple to-day." "I see, I see," mumbled the lawyer, mopping his brow. "Of course, er, you are quite right. You are a very level-headed woman. Quite so. I would have thought of it in another moment or two.
