Of these are many of the long and short stories setting forth in melodramatic pictures exceptionally good or exceptionally bad children; or exceptionally pathetic and romantic careers of sweet and refined Magdalens; minute and prolonged dissections of the processes of spiritual growth; equally minute and authoritative formulas for spiritual exercises of all sorts, "manuals of drill," so to speak, or "field tactics" for souls.
Imagine so salty a phrase on the lips of the Humphrey Van Weyden of a few months gone! There must have been a touch of the melodramatic in my pose and voice, for Maud smiled. Her appreciation of the ridiculous was keen, and in all things she unerringly saw and felt, where it existed, the touch of sham, the overshading, the overtone.
Convinced of this, and seized with a laudable desire to emulate such distinguished examples, he had perched himself upon a trunk, where he still sat with his legs crossed. He now pretended to suppress a yawn, as he growled, "What! some more long phrases and another melodramatic display?" Absorbed in the memories she had invoked, Madame d'Argeles paid no heed to Wilkie's impertinence.
I began to prowl around the yard, feeling adventurous enough, you may believe, for no boy had ever scouted that bit of Urkey land before. And I did find a light, beneath a drawn shade in the rear. Approaching as stealthily as a red Indian, I put one large, round eye to the aperture. If I had expected a melodramatic tableau, I was disappointed.
To Scotland? Amyas knew not, and cared not, provided he was in the company of Don Guzman de Soto. The Armada was defeated, and England saved.

Don't ruin her life for the sake of a little diversion!" Wingrave, who had been holding a cigar case in his hand for the last few minutes, opened it, and calmly selected a cigar. "Aren't you a little melodramatic, Aynesworth?" he said.
It was all the high-flown, emotional, melodramatic trash to be expected of an ill-balanced girl whose pretty head was stuffed with the romance of the country post-office type, and Davies sighed heavily as he read. He had planned to visit an old friend of his father's and see something of New York harbor and city before turning his back on the East.
Finally, the Constitution entrusts itself for safe keeping, in a melodramatic paragraph, "to the watchfulness and patriotism of the whole French people, and of each individual Frenchman," after having just before, in another paragraph entrusted the "watchful" and the "patriotic" themselves to the tender, inquisitorial attention of the High Court, instituted by itself.
"Gib Gib, my dear boy you've made us wealthy " Quickly Mr. Gibney ran the can opener around the edges of one corner of the zinc box, inserted the claws of the hammer into the opening, and with a quick, melodramatic twist, bent back the angle thus formed. Mr. Gibney was the first to get a peep inside. "Great snakes!" he yelled, and fell back against the cabin wall.
Ferrari shrank from the bare idea of making any use of the thousand-pound note. It had been deposited in the safe keeping of a bank. If it was even mentioned in her hearing, she shuddered and referred to it, with melodramatic fervour, as 'my husband's blood-money! So, under stress of circumstances, the attempt to solve the mystery of Ferrari's disappearance was suspended for a while.
