There was but scant time, however, for thinking, even if one could have thought with any sense or logic. The skies were blushing rosier and rosier; a solitary crow, that had lived through all that storm, came from somewhere and began calling hoarsely to its lost mates. We were dead with sleep; we would sleep, or else.... I awoke at eleven in the morning sick as a beaten dog.
"But, Herbert," said Mad. de Rosier, "you must sometimes be contented to do as you are desired, even when I do not think it proper to give you my reasons; you will, hereafter, find that I have good ones." "I have found that already in a great many things," said Herbert; "especially about the caterpillar." "What about the caterpillar?" said Favoretta.
Perhaps I even endowed her with these thoughts, knowing her desires were in touch with my own." "It is wanton cruelty to arouse a woman's curiosity and leave it unsatisfied." "It is not cruelty; it is cowardice." She gazed at him in wonder. His apple-blossom cheeks wore a rosier glow than usual.
The first book that she appeared to like particularly was, "Les Conversations d'Emilie:" one passage she read with great delight aloud; and Mad. de Rosier, who perceived by the manner of reading it that she completely understood the elegance of the French, begged her to try if she could translate it into English: it was not more than half a page.
A red spot of excitement still burned in either cheek, and it flamed to a rosier red as he bowed his head to her before turning away. Gascoyne had just removed Myles's breastplate and gorget, when Sir James Lee burst into the pavilion. All his grim coldness was gone, and he flung his arms around the young man's neck, hugging him heartily, and kissing him upon either cheek.
Here we've reached Utopia and you don't admit it." "Utopia!" "Certainly. Take a poll. You'll find nineteen people out of twenty happy with things just the way they are. They have full tummies and security, lots of leisure and trank pills to make matters seem even rosier than they are and they're rather rosy already."
Osmond stared into the fire a moment. "I set a great price on my daughter." "You can't set a higher one than I do. Don't I prove it by wishing to marry her?" "I wish to marry her very well," Osmond went on with a dry impertinence which, in another mood, poor Rosier would have admired. "Of course I pretend she'd marry well in marrying me.
Mad. de Rosier took the greatest care in conversing with Matilda, to make her feel her own powers: whenever she used good arguments, they were immediately attended to; and when Matilda perceived that a prodigious memory was not essential to success, she was inspired with courage to converse unreservedly. An accident pointed out to Mad. de Rosier another resource in Matilda's education.
Miss Fanshaw snatched up a book, in which she saw a paper, which she took for a French exercise. "Come, show it me, and I'll correct the faults for you, before your governess sees it, and she'll be so surprised!" "Mad. de Rosier has seen it," said Matilda; but Miss Fanshaw, in a romping manner, pulled the paper out of her hands.
"I see no reason why I shouldn't tell you that he likes my stepdaughter very much." Madame Merle gave one of her quick looks again. "Likes her, you mean as Mr. Rosier means?" "I don't know how Mr. Rosier means; but Lord Warburton has let me know that he's charmed with Pansy." "And you've never told Osmond?" This observation was immediate, precipitate; it almost burst from Madame Merle's lips.
