Perversely he frowned, as if the thing increased his pain, annoyed him beyond words. He all but cried out to the well-meaning hands to stop. "Doesn't it feel good?" asked Aurora, anxiously. He relaxed. Without opening his eyes, he nodded to thank her, and as he yielded himself up to the hands it seemed to him that those passes drew his spirit after them quite out of his body.
Her frigid manner did not repel him now; it had a charm for him which no warmth and graciousness could have had; and yet, perversely he longed intensely to see her both kind and sweet. How beautiful she was! He glanced at her reflected face in the mirror, and winced and frowned and bit his lip, seeing his own beside it. A small, plain, dark, clean-shaven man he was her very antithesis.
"If you wanted it enough, you could get in," she said perversely, with an alluring coquetry in her mien. "The door was unfastened." "I did want to enough," he responded. A new light came into his eyes. He held out his hands toward her. "Get up off that cricket!" he commanded. "Come here!" Amelia rose with a swift, feminine motion, but she stepped backward, one hand upon her heart.
I should have but small confidence in the Power that rules the world, if I did not believe that the vast social development of Europe, its civilisation, its network of communications, its bustle, its tenser living, its love of social excitement was not all part of a great design. I do not believe that humanity is perversely astray, hurrying to destruction.
As soon as he had closed the door she said without sitting down: "I daresay you saw I didn't like that at all." "My having a sitter in that professional way? I was very much annoyed at it myself," Nick answered. "Why were you annoyed? She's very handsome," Mrs. Dallow perversely said. "I didn't know you had looked at her!" Nick laughed. Julia had a pause. "Was I very rude?"
Whatever other wills and other glories may exist in heaven lie not within his universe of aspiration. Even his most perversely metaphysical envy can begrudge to others only what he instinctively craves for himself. It is not mere inequality, therefore, that can be a reproach to the aristocratic or theistic ideal.
"Impossible, impossible," she emphatically, more than emphatically, replied; yet the next minute she had burst into tears over the impossibility, and a few seconds later, pressing, clinging, sobbing, had even caused them to flow, audibly, sympathetically and perversely, from her friend.
Hawkes marched forward grimly, perversely stripped of fear, even though he was sure some of the men out there were monsters and others were their dupes. He tapped one of the men on the shoulder. "Okay, here I am. The girl goes free!" The man spun around as if mounted on a ball bearing and pulled by strings. The gun fell from his hands.
Lady Lundie, who had never "felt" in her life, appeared perversely determined to feel, on this occasion. She was offended and she showed it plainly. "When you are next called on, Sir Patrick, to judge of Miss Silvester's conduct," she said, "unless I am entirely mistaken, you will find yourself compelled to consider it as something beyond a joke."
He hath transgressed most enormously; his soul goeth infallibly to thirty thousand panniersful of devils. I understand you not, quoth Epistemon, and it disliketh me very much that you should so absurdly and perversely interpret that of the Friar Mendicants which by the harmless poet was spoken of black beasts, dun, and other sorts of other coloured animals.
