"Well," his friend continued, "you must let me very respectfully approach this lady. You must let me bring her round." "Bring her round to what?" "To everything. Talk her over." "Talk her under!" Nick laughed but making his joke a little as to gain time. He remembered the effect this adviser had produced on Julia an effect that scantly ministered to the idea of another meeting.
I felt a lust of battle rising in me at sight of that woman, and it was as much as I could do to control myself; but in view of the bad time I knew she was going to have, I managed to hold in, though I joined very scantly in the polite greetings of the Chrysostoms and Aristides, which she ignored as if they had been the salutations of savages.
To which I may add nevertheless that since one ever supremely invoked intensity of impression and abundance of character, I feasted my fill of it at Monte Oliveto, and that for that matter this would have constituted my sole refreshment in the vast icy void of the blighted refectory if I hadn't bethought myself of bringing with me a scrap of food, too scantly apportioned, I recollect very scantly indeed, since my <i>cocchiere</i> was to share with me by my purveyor at Siena.
He might already have been aware of our friend, might at some previous hour have noticed in him the smooth habit of the scene, with which the state of his own senses so scantly consorted, and might thereby have been stirred as by an overt discord.
"Maybe if I scale yet again the walls of Eltham Palace, where the King now abideth as I sought in vain to do this last Christmas." "Scale the walls! What to do, Ned?" "What thinkest, Custance?"

The spectator of whom they would thus well have been worthy might have read meanings of his own into the intensity of their communion or indeed, even without meanings, have found his account, aesthetically, in some gratified play of our modern sense of type, so scantly to be distinguished from our modern sense of beauty. Type was there, at the worst, in Mrs.
They had proved, successively, these impressions all of Musette and Francine, but Musette and Francine vulgarised by the larger evolution of the type irresistibly sharp: he had "taken up," by what was at the time to be shrinkingly gathered, as it was scantly mentioned, with one ferociously "interested" little person after another.
That is, as God hath faithfully promised to protect and defend those that faithfully will dwell in the trust of his help, so will he truly perform it. And thou who art such a one, the truth of his promise will defend thee not with a little round buckler that scantly can cover the head, but with a long large shield that covereth all along the body.
We may summarize it under three heads: It is much simpler and less worrisome, usually, to tell the truth. A lie is apt to be scantly on our guard; and one lie is very likely to need propping by others. We are led easily into deep waters, and discover "what a tangled web we weave When first we practice to deceive."
Hither, likewise, would come the elders and deacons of Mr. Dimmesdale's church, and the young virgins who so idolized their minister, and had made a shrine for him in their white bosoms, which now, by-the-bye, in their hurry and confusion, they would scantly have given themselves time to cover with their kerchiefs.
