There is, however, one thing that our young friend does: he sings. We see him, in company with three or four of his fellows, marching along the street singing the latest music-hall ditty, with all the approved music-hall inflections and mannerisms.
"Let me give you a tip, my friend; you ain't right well acquainted in this here locality, are you?" Rathburn now noted that they had attracted immediate attention. The tall, dark man, then, was a personage of importance. He noted another thing, too rather, he realized it by instinct as well as by certain mannerisms. The man before him knew how to use the weapon which hung low on his right thigh.
More of a concio ad vulgus than the former, it shows a pretty obvious endeavour to soften and popularise, without unduly vulgarising, the academic tone of the earlier work. The mannerisms, indeed, like the dogmatisms, are pretty clearly imminent. Slightly exotic vocabulary "habitude" "repartition," for "habit," "distribution" makes its appearance.
The "Romanza" is lyric and delightful, while the "Scherzino" is delicious and crisp as celery; it is worthy of Schumann, whom it suggests, and many of whose cool tones and mannerisms it borrows. The "5 Morceaux Charactéristiques" are on the whole better. The "Scherzo" is shimmering with playfulness, and, in the Beethoven fashion, has a tender intermezzo amoroso.
Cora, too, left her place she knew Cecilia's recklessness and felt it her duty to stand by her. The two strange men looked first at the girls and then at the car. "Had an accident?" asked the taller of the two politely. "Oh, no, it's chronic," answered Clip flippantly, much to Cora's dismay. The men were evidently gentlemen. They were well dressed, and had the mannerisms of culture.
Most mannerisms are undesirable and very few have any value. As they are usually formed early, one should look out for them at the outset and nip them in the bud, before they have a chance to become fixed habits. I often notice myself running my fingers through my hair about the opening sentence, as though I could thereby loosen up my brain.
I was never introduced to a foreign officer that I did not fear him, with his weak eyes, his affected mannerisms, his studied rudeness, not to me, but to the country I represented. How I made some of them dance! Not for vanity's sake; rather the inborn patriotism of my race.
This request was made solely to change the subject, to shift her father to his favorite topic for family conversation his daughter Martha, Mrs. Hugo Galland, her weakness for fashionable pastimes, her incessant hints and naggings at her father about his dowdy dress, his vulgar mannerisms of speech and of conduct, especially at table.
It was one of the very smartest houses in London, and since everybody knew that she had been introduced to Lady Holme, since half the world was comparing their faces and would soon begin to compare their mannerisms well, it would be better that she should not be forced into any revival of her Philadelphia talents. Mrs. Wolfstein did not warn Lady Holme.
She had caught little mannerisms from Debby Alden, just as she had caught the principle which had actuated her conduct: not to cry out and let every one know when one is hurt. When she came back from the two-days' visit with Aunt Debby and Miss Richards, she had mastered her feelings to a great extent.
