Thanks to Wilbur's teaching, I take a spoonful of olive oil every evening before I duck the hut, so I can sit in with the best and have the seating capacity of a bonded warehouse. "I pray thee do not breathe these little maidenish confidences, for it might make hard feeling between me and some of my gentlemen friends I have had to get checked at numerous places of refreshment.
Add to these characteristics a penchant for cheap jewellery, and Oliver Peak stands confessed. The white, maidenish and silk-haired fairness of Sidwell, and Peak's irresistible passion for the type of beauty suggested, is revealed to us with all Gissing's wonderful skill in shadowing forth feminine types of lovelihood.
"Let me beseech you, sir," says Jones, "don't let me be the occasion" "Beseech mine a ," cries Western. "I thought thou hadst been a lad of higher mettle than to give way to a parcel of maidenish tricks. I tell thee 'tis all flimflam. Zoodikers! she'd have the wedding to-night with all her heart. Would'st not, Sophy? Come, confess, and be an honest girl for once. What, art dumb?

Then they were face to face over the threshold Clytemnestra, of a matronly circumference, yet with a certain prim consciousness of herself, which despite the gray hair and the excellent maturity of her face, was unmistakably maidenish Clytie of the eyes always wise to another's needs and beaming with that fine wisdom.
Can the best of fathers break my heart? Will he kill me by the most painful, cruel, lingering death?" "Pooh! pooh!" cries the squire; "all stuff and nonsense; all maidenish tricks. Kill you, indeed! Will marriage kill you?" "Oh! sir," answered Sophia, "such a marriage is worse than death. He is not even indifferent; I hate and detest him."
