Even had the words been true, she and Harold were both too old for such sentimentalities. They breakfasted alone. Harold still looked pale and weary, nor did he deny the fact that he had scarcely slept. He told her all the Harbury news, but spoke little of himself or of his plans. "They were yet uncertain," he said, "but a few more days would decide all."
Many as are the wealthy houses I have been called upon to enter in the line of my profession, I had never crossed the threshold of such an one as this before, and impervious as I am to any foolish sentimentalities, I felt a certain degree of awe at the thought of invading with police investigation, this home of ancient Knicker-bocker respectability.
"Not in the concocted sentimentalities that we now have served up to us by athletic tenors and consumptive elephants!" Rankin, who had been silently deliberating on what had been left behind, now said cunningly and with evident purpose: "All the same, I don't agree with you men at all.
They accept of these sentimentalities as the vicar's wife did the sheep in the picture, pleased to 'have as many as the painter would put in for nothing. Now, Cecil Walpole never intended that this little Irish episode and episode he determined it should be should in any degree affect the serious fortunes of his life.
It had Magazine ways that smacked of Sylvanus Urban; leading articles with balanced paragraphs which recalled the marching tramp of Johnson; translations that might have been signed with the name of Creech, and Odes to Sensibility, and the like, which recalled the syrupy sweetness and languid trickle of Laura Matilda's sentimentalities.
Let me hear you sing 'The Moonlight' or 'The Lotus-flower.

It costs more to bring up a man here, and he is worth more when brought up, than elsewhere. We of the North have looked with astonishment at the recklessness of the South concerning it. We have thought it braver to save than to spend it; and a questionable humanity has undoubtedly led us sometimes into feeble sentimentalities, and false estimates of its value.
"Mother, I pray never to forget that face, although it remain like an angel's face to me, because it is the fairest example of the human face divine that I ever hope to behold." "Harry Jardine, you are mad, or worse; these are some of the sickening French and German sentimentalities against which I have been warned.
No! these two are children of another kind affected, tricked-out, well-dressed children very clever, very precocious but children still. Their whinings, and their sentimentalities, and their egotism, and their vanity, cannot interest masculine beings who know what life and its stern objects are." "Your brother-in-law," said Maltravers with a slight smile, "must find in you a discouraging censor."
Why should not a man and woman entertain each other without compliments, conventionalities and sentimentalities?" "No reason in the world if they are capable of such companionship. The trouble with so many is that they tumble into these things, especially the last, as if they were blind ditches in their path." "That is excellent. Do you regard love as a blind ditch?"
