So the Countess supposed she must go her own way, and presently Adrian Torrens was conscious that her ladyship had gone hers, by the curt resurrection of sounds in abeyance somewhile since; sounds of eight hoofs and four wheels; suddenly self-assertive, soon evanescent. Was Gwen really going to come to sing at this piano? That was something worth living for, at least.
For Shakespeare he had no real liking, though he concealed this, from humility in the face of accepted opinion. His was a firm mind, sure of itself, but not self-assertive.
I was sorry for him; and Rothenstein, though he had not invited him to Chelsea, did ask him to sit down and have something to drink. Seated, he was more self-assertive.

She strove to keep out of her voice any suspicion of the agitation which was the result of the events of an extraordinary day, not yet ended.
The next came in the sudden appearance of a person called "Milly" I've forgotten her surname whom I found in his room one evening, simply attired in a blue wrap the rest of her costume behind the screen smoking cigarettes and sharing a flagon of an amazingly cheap and self-assertive grocer's wine Ewart affected, called "Canary Sack." "Hullo!" said Ewart, as I came in. "This is Milly, you know.
