To break the word that had gone forth out of one's mouth was to lose self-respect, and all claim to the respect of others, and to sin against eternal rectitude. As we have said before, it is almost impossible to make our light-minded times comprehend the earnestness with which those people lived.
She flattered herself she had harvested wisdom and learned a great deal more of life than this light-minded creature had even suspected. If her thoughts just now had inclined themselves to retrospect, instead of fluttering their wings nervously about the present, they would have evoked a multitude of interesting pictures.
The high-priest repelled the suspicion with his usual dignity, and went on to adjure Caesar not to visit on an industrious and dutiful community the sins of a light-minded girl's base folly and falsehood. But Caracalla would not suffer him to finish; he wrathfully inquired who had given him a right to force his advice on Caesar.
I look for a race that shall resemble its Mother: nimble-witted, light-minded, pious like her; all-human, ambidextrous, ambicephalous, two-eyed like her; and if, like her, they talk the English language with all the r's turned into l's, I shall not care.
Palford should express annoyance, but the effort to restrain the expression of it was in his countenance.

It was not difficult to see in what illusion Antonia chose to live to-night.
The placid water swept round in a graceful curve, the rushes bent gently towards its surface, and the trees overhung it as usual; but all lay in the soothing and sublime solitude of a wilderness. The scene was such as a poet or an artist would have delighted in, but it had no charm for Hurry Harry, who was burning with impatience to get a sight of his light-minded beauty.
"I don't believe that castaways set out to explore their island for food in any such light-minded manner as you display, Elizabeth," Nan observed. "Oh, dear! I can't help it," Bess gasped. "That darkey is so funny. He's just as innocent as as " "The man, Friday," finished Nan. "Goody! that's who he is," agreed Bess. "He's Friday.
I should not wish to keep all these dangerous personages for you." "Mamma!" said Chatty, with a soft reproachful glance. It seemed a desecration to her to think that ever again that ever another "That gives a little zest to all the middle-aged talks. It amuses other people to see a little romance going on. You were always rather shocked at your light-minded mother, Chatty."
