Has high finance turned too risky for your stomach? Or are you dabbling in low-life for the sheer fun of it to titillate your jaded senses?" Respectability's cheeks puffed out like red toy balloons; so likewise his chest. "Sir!" he snorted "you are drunk!" "Sir!" retorted P. Sybarite, none too meekly "you lie." The ebony-and-gold cane of Respectability quivered in mid-air. "Out of my way!"
Their backs were toward P. Sybarite, but by the fat pink folds above the back of Respectability's collar and the fat white side-whiskers adorning his plump pink chops, Beelzebub knew that he encountered for the second time that evening Respectability of the gold-capped cane. Without the least shame, he paused and cocked sharp ears to catch what he could of the conversation between these two.
This did not stop him; but the policeman, afraid to risk another shot because of the crowd, waited for him to come again; and many others, seeing the hopeless circuit the mongrel followed, did likewise, armed with bricks and clubs. Among them was the pimply clerk, who had been inspired to commandeer a pitchfork from a hardware store. When the fifth round came, Respectability's race was run.
Kaufman's barn was burned down last week, so you couldn't storm that now. Siegel's wouldn't be just the place, and, besides, they have other cattle there now, so that's out of the question. You might get a loan of the church no, the church is not a church. We only call it so for respectability's sake.
Will the guardians of the peace the police, I mean arrest me?" Frida laughed a bright little laugh of genuine amusement. "Oh, dear, no," she said merrily; "it isn't an affair of police at all; not so serious as that: it's only a matter of respectability." "I see," Bertram answered. "Respectability's a religious or popular, not an official or governmental, taboo. I quite understand you.
The luckless Respectability's purpose to reach Joe's stairway had been entirely definite, but upon this violence he forgot it momentarily. It is not easy to keep things in mind when one is violently smitten on mouth, nose, cheek, eye, and ear by a missile large enough to strike them simultaneously. Yelping and half blinded, he deflected to cross Main Street.
He had known, here in Europe, two or three women persons older than Miss Daisy Miller, and provided, for respectability's sake, with husbands who were great coquettes dangerous, terrible women, with whom one's relations were liable to take a serious turn. But this young girl was not a coquette in that sense; she was very unsophisticated; she was only a pretty American flirt.
The question is, Tita, will you consent to forget and and forgive and" with a sudden plunge "make it up with me?" He would have taken her hand here, but she slips adroitly behind a small table. "Say it is for respectability's sake, if you like, that I ask you to return to me," goes on Rylton, a little daunted, however, by her determined entrenchment; "though it is not. Still " She stops him.
He's simply all respectability. Respectability's his god Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Always has been. He'd sacrifice everything to respectability except the lovely Lobley. It's not respectable in a respectable family for a girl to leave home on account of her stepmother. And so he's in a state, if you please!... If he wanted to carry on with Mrs. Lobley, let him carry on with her. But no!
Little enough he profited by his open eavesdropping; what he heard was scarcely illuminating when applied to the puzzle that haunted him. "She won't that's flat," Respectability's companion announced in a sullen voice. By the tone of this last Beelzebub knew that it issued from an ugly twisted mouth. "But," Respectability insisted heavily "You're sure you've done your best to persuade her?"
