This pretty queenliness it was that drove me to answer as I had done before in a bantering strain. "Why did the mob pursue me? Hum! Why does the mob pursue great men? Because it loves their company." Her matchless eyes flashed an angry glance, and the faint smile on my lips must have tried her temper sorely. "What did you do to deserve this affection?"
They felt that an awful and blessed spirit overshadowed the lovers, and were hushed, as if in the sanctuary of God. Suddenly again she raised her head from his bosom, and in a tone, in which her old queenliness mingled strangely with the saddest tenderness, 'All of you go away now; I must talk to my husband alone.
It was to hurt you that I did it that I humbled my queenliness before him; but I loved him, though and he, he your lover, whom you despised then and cast away for this black-faced king of ours he thrust me from him, and pushed me off, and drove me weeping to my chamber, and he said he loved me not, nor wished my love. Ay, that was bitter, for I was ashamed I who never was shamed of man or woman.
Now when Frigga saw, from the other end of the hall, a little, bent, crippled old woman come hobbling up her crystal floor, she got up with true queenliness and met her halfway, holding out her hand and saying in the kindest manner, "Pray sit down, my poor old friend; for it seems to me that you have come from a great way off." "That I have, indeed," answered Loki in a tremulous, squeaking voice.
"Oh, well, allowances should be made for a tenderfoot," she bantered. "At least I recognized your queenliness, even if at first I did mistake what you were queen of," he thrust back. "So you still insist I'm a queen? Of what, pray?" "Of Hearts!" he answered with fervor. His daring was rewarded with a lovely blush. But she was only momentarily disconcerted. "I am not so sure of that," she replied.
She is the first in the sensitiveness of her passion to catch the change in Æneas, and the storm of her indignation sweeps away the excuses of her lover, as the storm of her love had swept away his earlier resolve. All dignity, all queenliness breaks before the "fury of a woman scorned."
Then she thought, 'While my beloved liveth, life is due to me'; and she ate and drank and reassumed her fair fulness and the queenliness that was hers; but the Vizier had no love of her, and respected her, considering in his mind, 'Time will exhaust the fury of this tigress, and she is a fruit worth the waiting for. Wullahy! I shall have possessed her ere the days of over-ripening.
She saw herself building up a life upon that a life restrained, kindly, beautiful, a little pathetic and altogether dignified; a life of great disciplines and suppressions and extensive reserves... But the Ramage affair needed clearing up, of course; it was a flaw upon that project. She had to explain about and pay off that forty pounds.... Then, quite insensibly, her queenliness had declined.
Really, when she stands at the end of the veranda, giving orders to those darkies, her face a little flushed, she’s positively a queen.” “As far as queenliness may be compatible with the angelic state,” replied Hosmer, but not ill pleased with Melicent’s exaggerated praise of Thérèse.
There I found her on the stoop, in the shade, with two or three children round her; for she is a mother to all the English orphans there, and they are but too many. They bring them to her as a matter of course when their parents die, and she keeps them till their kindred in England claim them. Madam, her queenliness of port hath gained on her.
