John turned, a hint of the stage hero's mannerisms in his dramatic gesture. "What? Invite us for a treat and then can't pay for it? You're a fine one, Sid." He drew a half-dollar from his own pocket and flung it down on the table. "Never mind him," he turned to Louise. "I'll pay your car fare home!"
A failing is an inferiority of one man in relation to another; the word itself implies it; it means that something is lacking, that one man has a thing which another has not. But all men are equal, therefore, argues the democrat, I have no failing; therefore I need not try to conceal and control my alleged failings, as they are at worst merely mannerisms, and are possibly virtues.
Your attempt to give it a humorous turn reminds me of Miss Squeers' titter you must never titter!" Once or twice in early times I used to ask him how he would do it. "Don't ask me!" he said. "I haven't got to do it that's your business; it's no use your doing it in my way; all I know is that you are not doing it in your way." He was very quick at noticing any mannerisms or favourite words.
The badly-drawn horses, again, seem his, for it will be noticed all through his work that he has never cared to thoroughly master their form, and paints them always with curious mannerisms of too closely-placed nostrils, and human eyebrows, which show how little attention he had given to their anatomy.
This was indeed Acting to merge mannerisms, to defy fate and the jeers of any sober English reporter who strayed into the Theatre of Novelties! This was Pauline's opportunity; she naturally succeeded to the position of leading lady, and kept it until her faults of temper developed and she had the pleasurable excitement of a fierce quarrel with her manager.
It was impossible to go anywhere without seeing innumerable photographs, drawings, caricatures, reproducing their features and mannerisms, gramophones reproducing their voices, and the newspapers their opinions on art and politics. They had special newspapers devoted to them. They published their heroic and domestic Memoirs.
"I can't see the faintest beginning of a resemblance." "Ah, now you're falling into exaggeration in the other direction." "Well, not in realities. Perhaps in one or two trifling mannerisms I believe she imitates you deliberately." "I think I must ask her to the house." "Why should you?" "Well, perhaps you might tell me." "I don't understand."
There was also a sister, whom, truth to tell, he objected to more than her maternal relative, for she was distinctly professional, not to say loud, and the little mannerisms which were so taking in his inamorata were very much the reverse in Miss Saidie Blackall.
With the high sense of her filial duty, she conceived herself bound to receive the authorized attentions of a gentleman possessing the warrant of her father's friendship, and, in return for that friend's civilities, to tender those little captivating mannerisms, and throw into her receptions and interviews those sweet and winning ways, so peculiar to beings of her stamp.
There was a negative shaking of heads. "No mannerisms? No little tricks, such as a twist of the mouth, a mincing step, or a head carried on one side?" More shakes of negation from the men who knew Clayte. "Well, at least you can tell me who are his friends his intimates?" Nobody answered. "He must have friends?" I urged. "He hasn't," maintained Whipple.
