His arrival roused Miss Fanshawe, who had hitherto appeared listless: she now became smiling and complacent, talked though what she said was rarely to the purpose or rather, was of a purpose somewhat mortifyingly below the standard of the occasion.
They got the best places at a price which ought to have been mortifyingly cheap, and found themselves, with a thousand other harmless bourgeois folk, in a sort of spacious, agreeable barn, of a decoration by no means ugly, and of a certain artless comfort.

Oh, if we just can keep him pure from prosperity in the shape of new clothes until he makes this second great invention, we will be so thankful, I encourage Roxanne to spend the money on food and her own clothes, so he will not be able to buy a new suit. We feel so safe with him mortifyingly shabby.
There Georges De Grapion settled, with the laudable determination to make a fresh start against the mortifyingly numerous Grandissimes. "My father's policy was every way bad," he said to his spouse; "it is useless, and probably wrong, this trying to thin them out by duels; we will try another plan.

Welland said, "let poor Ellen find her own level" and that, mortifyingly and incomprehensibly, was in the dim depths where the Blenkers prevailed, and "people who wrote" celebrated their untidy rites. It was incredible, but it was a fact, that Ellen, in spite of all her opportunities and her privileges, had become simply "Bohemian."
But, after all, the general effect of these mountains was mortifyingly like the general effect of the Kaatskill Mountains on the Hudson River. With a light breeze, we sailed on till next day, when we made Holyhead and Anglesea.
"It's fortunate that I do," she replied decidedly. "I'm mortifyingly dependent on my clothes. There's my Aunt Katharine now, she has an air in anything." "I like you better than your aunt," he confessed. "Of course you do. I've taken pains to have you. But it was just as much as ever that you looked at me twice last night." "I was afraid of making you too conspicuous."
