That is all the more reason! Is it because your family exert a pressure upon you, interfere with you, annoy you? That is still another reason; you ought to be perfectly free, and marriage will make you so. I don't say anything against your family understand that!" added Newman, with an eagerness which might have made a perspicacious observer smile.
He had in early life married a sister of Mr. Sowerby; and as the lady was some six or seven years older than himself, and had brought with her but a scanty dowry, people thought that in this matter Mr. Harold Smith had not been perspicacious. Mr. Harold Smith was not personally a popular man with any party, though some judged him to be eminently useful.
"I am pretty intimate with Svensen; I was lunching with him only yesterday, as it happens. He didn't say a word then of any plan for a night expedition, I am afraid it looks sadly like an accident of some sort." "Perspicacious fellow," muttered Jefferson, who did not like Charles Wilbraham. Henry edged away: neither did he like Charles Wilbraham. He did not even turn his face towards him.
"I know Beatrix, and there is something too grandiose in her nature to allow her to change. Besides, Conti will be here." "Ha!" said Claude Vignon, satirically, "a slight touch of jealousy, eh?" "Can you really think so?" said Camille, haughtily. "You are more perspicacious than a mother," replied Claude Vignon, still sarcastically. "But it would be impossible," said Camille, looking at Calyste.
The points which he had so laboriously made plain to the jury of view proved a total loss of perspicacious reasoning, for the land was forthwith condemned and the road opened, any oil-boring company being allowed by law a right of way thirty feet wide.

From 1909 onwards a series of phenomena occurred in the Balkans which ought to have given warning to the Turks, whose survival in Europe had been due solely to the fact that the Balkan States had never been able to unite.
He knew him to be nervous, on the one hand, and perspicacious on the other. If there was an intrigue between Maitland and Madame Steno, Julien had surely observed it, and, approached in a certain manner, he would surely betray it.
If it had not been for me, the policeman would have marched you off to prison." Cassy laughed. "The dear man! He knew I would be worse off with you." "Yes. He was certainly perspicacious. Where did you say you were going?" Cassy removed her gloves. "Before I was attacked? To a music-shop. There is a song I want to get for Mrs. Thingumagig's, Mrs. Beamish " "Mrs. Who?" Paliser asked.
He felt that he had been enrolled in the battalion of old painters of talent, whom the younger ones do not treat as masters; and as he was as intelligent as he was perspicacious he suffered now from the least insinuations as much as from direct attacks. But never had any wound to his pride as an artist hurt him like this.
They are apt, too, to think that nothing is good but what is perfect, and that there are no compromises or modifications to be made in consideration of difference of opinion or in deference to other men's judgment. If their perspicacious vision enables them to detect a spot on the face of the sun, they think that a good reason why the sun should be struck down from heaven.
