"Come to the baths this time to-morrow, and it'll be all over." "Oh, I don't mind, it, Jerry," I replied. "Good-night"; and, letting the door swing behind me, I passed out of the baths. "Good old Jerry," I murmured sentimentally. "By Jove, if I could only swim like him! Dear old Jerry." An unaccountable melancholy overcame me, as I rambled in this strain.
"What a good fellow Tyringham was, and how he would have liked to be here!" the Senator was saying sentimentally, as he held out a glass to be refilled. "Poor fellow! he never got much out of his life; didn't know how to make the most of things, went out there to that Iowa prairie after the War. You say he left his widow badly off?"
We face a grave national situation. It cannot be successfully dealt with sentimentally. It should be faced with knowledge and candor. We must admit our mistakes, both social and political, and set about the solution of our problem with intelligent resolution and a large charity. It is not simply a Southern question. It is a Northern question as well.
She was competent to treat it in all its phases: not merely those of personal interest, but those of duty to the broken Southern past, sentimentally dear to him, and practically absurd to her. No such South as he remembered had ever existed to her knowledge, and no such civilization as he imagined would ever exist, to her belief, anywhere.
Cicely's cheeks were of a still deeper colour as she held fast the mischievous favourite, while the good mother untwisted the flax from its little claws and supple limbs, while it winked, twisted its head about sentimentally, purred, and altogether wore an air of injured innocence and forgiveness. "I am afraid, air, you receive nothing but damage at our house," said Mrs. Talbot politely.
Then her hand gripped his and she cried, "Oh, Richard, when you were wee, did the others twit you with it?" Oh, God, was she going to take it sentimentally? "No. At least, when they did I hammered them. But it was awful for my mother." "Ah, poor thing," she murmured, "isn't it a shame! Mrs. Ormiston is always very strong on the unmarried mother in her speeches."
He sent the drag home under the guidance of one of the grooms, and went on foot himself; his hands in his pockets, plunged in thought. The stars and moon shining tranquilly over head, looked down upon Mr. Foker that night, as he, in his turn, sentimentally regarded them.
Phyllis was looking up to his face with a smile of inquiry. "I was afraid that you might think I was on the way to preach a sermon on the text of woman's friendship. I pulled myself up just in time. I'm glad that I didn't frighten you." "Oh, no; you didn't frighten me, Mr. Courtland. I was only wondering how you would go on whether you would treat the topic sentimentally or cynically."
Like any man of mark, Samoa best speaks for himself; but we may as well convey some idea of his person. Though manly enough, nay, an obelisk in stature, the savage was far from being sentimentally prepossessing. Be not alarmed; but he wore his knife in the lobe of his dexter ear, which, by constant elongation almost drooped upon his shoulder.
Is he so sentimentally devoted to his 'old Dutch'? If you answer the question in the negative, you are in this predicament: all the love and 'the fine feelings' remain with the infinitesimal residuum of the cultured and professionally 'refined. Does that residuum actually incarnate all the love, devotion, honour, and other noble qualities in man?
