Suddenly he saw her revealed in the pale halo of light cast by the window into the darkness. He looked at her for moments without moving. Then she saw him get up and say good night to his father, putting his hand awkwardly and self-consciously on his sleeve.
Poor, neat, respectable, unswerving but jealous, he commanded wide admiration as the type of the incorruptible democrat; stiffly and self-consciously he was reproducing the popular pose of Benjamin Franklin. Between him and Hébert there could be no real union. He was willing, while Hébert remained strong in his hold on the public, to act alongside of him, but that was all.
Captain Greene's natural gift of narrative is the result of a strong impulse toward creative expression, which molds its form a little self-consciously, but convincingly, for the most part. I think that he is at his best in these two stories rather than in "The Cat of the Cane-Brake" and "The Black Pool," because they are based upon a more direct apprehension and experience of life.
He had pitched his camp on the scene of his exploit, the bivouac fires of the Houssas gleamed redly amongst the anemones. "Did you see me in action?" asked Bones, a little self-consciously. "No, I didn't notice anything particularly striking about the fight in your side of the world," said Hamilton.

Not to speak of the cross-examination you're putting her through." Fenger laughed, a little self-consciously. "It's just that I want to be sure it's real.

So nobody danced the first dance, and after it there was another lull. Then Martie cheerfully asked Angela for a waltz, and said bravely: "Come on, some of you, DO dance this! I can't because I'm hostess."
His costume and countenance were alike much more contemporaneous than his partner's. His dress was self-consciously fashionable, and he wore a carefully trained mustache, whose dark brown was beginning to show threads of gray.

When Magdalen and Fay had departed, and Wentworth had seen them to the carriage, he came back and sat down by Michael. "Not over-tired?" he said, smiling self-consciously, and poking holes in the turf with his stick. "Not in the least."
Big Junko laughed self-consciously but without the slightest resentment. "That's all right," said he, "but you betcher life I don't blow this stake." "I've heard that talk before," shrugged Thorpe.
