Her tone in conversing with Cecily became a little more patronizing, though she spoke no more of impressionism, in proportion as she discovered the younger girl's openness of mind and her lack of self-assertiveness. "You play the piano, I think?" she said one day. "For my own amusement only." "And you draw?" "With the same reserve." "Ah," said Madeline, "I have long since given up these things.
The violent self-assertiveness of the Fumani may be attributed to the large measure of autonomy which they have always enjoyed, Fiume's status as a free city having been definitely established by Ferdinand I in 1530, recognized by Maria Theresa in 1776 when she proclaimed it "a separate body annexed to the crown of Hungary," and by the Hungarian Government finally confirmed in 1868.
She was characterised by an egoism and self-assertiveness unknown to the "dilecta"; while, on the other hand, her principles were too strong to allow her to use a man as her plaything, as Madame de Castries had no scruple in doing.
Lubin enters: a man at the end of his sixties, a Yorkshireman with the last traces of Scandinavian flax still in his white hair, undistinguished in stature, unassuming in his manner, and taking his simple dignity for granted, but wonderfully comfortable and quite self-assured in contrast to the intellectual restlessness of Franklyn and the mesmeric self-assertiveness of Burge.
Cornificia more than any one had contrived to suggest to the praetorian guard that their interest might best be served some day by befriending Pertinax; she more than any one had disarmed Commodus' suspicion by complaining to him about Pertinax' lack of self-assertiveness, which had become Commodus' chief reason for not mistrusting him.

Maxwell smiled as he replied: "Yes, but that is a fault which time will remedy." "Doubtless. Time has a way of remedying most things. But in the meantime in the meantime, lack of tact, self-assertiveness, indiscretion, on the part of a clergyman may do much harm much harm!" Mr.
How you would love her! And now she finds to her surprise that her natural affection for her daughter is in danger of taking her off her feet. I really believe there have been some painful scenes between the poor lady and John M. and there may be some more if Mrs. Hurd's newly awakened self-assertiveness grows more positive and Mr. Hurd remains inflexible.
"I tried to," I said, "but you kept on interrupting me, so I gave up." Titherington's conscience may have pricked him. He was certainly in a chastened mood, but he showed no sign of wishing to make any further apologies. On the contrary he began to recover something of his habitual self-assertiveness.
