Or perhaps let us give the kindest interpretation possible to all things the earl's helplessness and loveableness touched a chord long silent, or never stirred before in the heart of the man of the world. Possibly who can say? he really began to like him. At any rate, he seemed as if he did, and Lord Cairnforth gave back to him in double measure all that he bestowed.
If an angel from heaven brought me a gospel which contained doctrines that would not stand the test of such perfect loveableness doctrines hard, or cruel, or unjust I should reject him and his trumpery gospel with scorn, knowing that neither could be Christ's.
Miss Bowen slightly shuddered; being of a rather different opinion; which, however, she had the good taste to keep to herself, since occasionally a slight misgiving arose that either she was unreasonably harsh, or that the true type of infantile loveableness did not exist in the young Thornycrofts.
"The Underhills do not need to marry for money." "I am not marrying for money!" "Well, go on." "I have already described to you in my letter very inadequately, but I did my best what she looks like. Her sweetness, her loveableness, all the subtle things about her which go to make her what she is, you will have to judge for yourself." "I intend to!" "Well, that's all, then.
She seemed to be her aunt, without the softness and motherly affection, coupled with the touch of naivete that gave Mrs. Edmonstone her freshness, and loveableness; and her likeness to her brother included that decided, self-reliant air, which became him well enough, but which did not sit as appropriately on a woman.
As the portrait of a child, though in conception it reveals a marked progress towards the intimité of later times, the Berlin picture lacks something of charm and that quality which, for want of a better word, must be called loveableness. Or is it perhaps that the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries have spoilt us in this respect?
"Whatever fault one may find with this people for their superstition and ignorance, there is a loveableness in their character which I am not utilitarian enough in my philosophy to resist." This comes of travelling off the beaten track and with an open mind; it comes of direct contact.
A dog with a brain and a mighty heart, as well as an endless fund of loveableness and of gay courage. Month by month, the youngster developed into a massive giant; his orange-mahogany coat a miracle of thickness and length, his deep chest promising power as well as wolflike grace. His mind and his oddly human traits developed as fast as did his body.
O that interval, that night! if Marian had but stood there with the grave, earnest, heartfelt voice that repelled all sophistry with the wonted "I don't know," if the dark eyes had been there to look with contempt on all but the "right," and to fill with tears, the more touching because so rare, as her tenderness, her deep feeling would have been called out by the sensation of seeing and aiding a friend to struggle nobly against a temptation, if Caroline had felt and seen the superiority, the loveableness of real, true, uncompromising regard for right, and right alone, if she had been by one touch made to partake of the horror Marian felt of any failure in faith, then all the innate strength and nobleness of her character might have been awakened, and she would have clung to "the right" at any cost, supported, carried through by Marian's approval and sympathy, keeping her up to feel that higher approval was with her.
The most loveable, by the way, of all the young heroes portrayed in the Dickens' Gallery was there, to begin with, for example the peculiar loveableness of David being indicated as plainly as by any means through the extraordinary variety of pet names given to him by one or another in the course of the narrative.
