People who disagreed on every other subject agreed in liking Vincy. But he did not care in the least for acquaintances, and spent much ingenuity in trying to avoid them; he only liked intimate friends, and of all he had perhaps the Ottleys were his greatest favourites. His affection for them dated from a summer they had spent in the same hotel in France.
The parasol being arranged to her liking, she glanced up at him. 'Still, you said you were sorry, and that's all a man can say or a woman either, for that's what I said myself when I came in. Now, if you will pick up those things from the floor thanks we will talk about the mine. Wentworth seated himself again, and said; 'Well, what is it you wish to know about the mine? 'Nothing at all.
Lane, a shrewd little woman with a half contemptuous liking for Wharton, let him know on the strength of a chance meeting with Lady Ermyntrude that the Winterbournes would be at the Masterton party on the 26th. They had persuaded Miss Boyce to stay for it, and she would go back to her work the Monday after.
But, despite his lofty character, it is impossible at this day, to regard Williams with any degree of sympathy or liking, or to think of him except as a trouble-maker over trifles. Intolerance, happily, is fading from the world, and with it that useless scrupulosity of behavior, which accomplishes no good, but whose principal result is to make uncomfortable all who come in contact with it.
In its fore-paws it carried the missing porker, which still sent forth a piteous cry for help. Rob soon overtook the bear and gave him a no gentle tap on the back of his head. Bruin, not liking this, dropped the pig and turned round to face Rob, while piggie, having still the use of his legs, ran off towards his sty.
After a while the place began to fill, Willie and Robbie and Jamie arriving to discuss Paul's return over their nappy. The little I could make of their talk was not to my liking, but for the captain's sake I kept my anger under as best I could, for I had the sense to know that brawling with a lot of alehouse frequenters would not advance his cause.
Tryon was only twenty-three, and his friend's additional five years, supplemented by a certain professional gravity, commanded a great deal of respect from the younger man. When Tryon had known Warwick for a week, he had been ready to swear by him. Indeed, Warwick was a man for whom most people formed a liking at first sight.
"I'd be tremendously proud of it. It must be wonderful to be in love." In one of those curious twists of feminine nature, Miss Hastings suddenly felt the glow of a strong, unreserved liking for this strange, candid girl. Selma went on: "But I'm afraid I never shall be. I get no time to think about myself. From rising till bed time my work pushes at me."
The mother said that we would settle it after supper, and I made no objection, not liking to tell her that in my house the supper would be more succulent, and a better prelude for the kind of exercise I expected to enjoy. When we had supped the mother took me aside, and asked me to leave with the company and then to come back.
It does not concern myself at all. It is wholly about you. It is something which you ought to know." "You are trading upon my curiosity for the sake of a tea," she laughed. "Very well, about five o'clock." He bowed and walked back westwards with a graver look than usual upon his boyish face, for he had a task before him which was very little to his liking. She knocked and was admitted at once.
