They were in the presence of no facts strong enough to counteract that profound veneration of antiquity which seems natural to mankind, and the Athenians of the age of Pericles or of Plato, though they were thoroughly, obviously "modern" compared with the Homeric Greeks, were never self-consciously "modern" as we are.
The brown dog trembled and blinked, keeping his yellow eyes upon her, looked self-consciously down sideways, then looked at her again. From the hidden river there came a distant song of boatmen, one of those vehement and yet sad songs of the Nile that the Nubian waterman loves. "Sh sh sh!" Mrs. Armine had caught sight of the dog.
Elise stood behind, trembling with satisfaction. "Well " Audrey began. But she heard the automobile, and told Elise to run and be ready to open the front door of the flat. "Rather showy, isn't it? Rather daring?" said Miss Ingate, advancing self-consciously and self-deprecating. "Winnie," answered Audrey. "It's a nice question between you and the Queen of Sheba."
Prohack self-consciously carried his lankness and his big head across to Lady Massulam's table. She looked up at him with a composed but romantic smile.

I told him it was my birthday, and he asked me and Ellen to go to Madame Tussaud's with him this afternoon." She laughed, a little self-consciously.

After a perfunctory discussion, which was somewhat self-consciously prolonged by both of them in order to avoid an appearance of hastiness in an important decision, George Cannon opened his black bag and then looked round for ink.
