Arthur told her of his engagement to Miss Grove. His story was very short, and it was told with more shamefacedness than was at all natural for a triumphant lover. It did not matter much, however, as there was no one to take note of the circumstances.
Forward and impertinent in the company of her equals, from the vanity of supposing herself above them, she was bashful even to shamefacedness in the presence of her superiors, because her vanity told her she engrossed all their observation.
The touch of colour heightened the beauty of her clear ivory face and brightened up the old habit; but she looked at herself in the glass with something like shamefacedness: why was she so anxious about her appearance this morning of all the mornings?
Besides this advantage, there accrue other spiritual profits, in making known the secret motions of your heart; for the violence which you do to yourself, to surmount, that natural shamefacedness which hinders you from acknowledging your imperfections and frailties, draws down the grace of God upon you; and on the other side, this overture, and frankness of your heart, ruins the designs of the evil spirit, who can never do mischief but when he is in disguise; but when once discovered, is so far disarmed, and despicably weak, that they, for whom he lies in ambush, laugh at him."
He felt the pity in her tone, and added, with a shamefacedness curiously in contrast with his former hauteur: "But I have read much." "That is not the same thing," she returned. "No book could make you understand how wonderful and beautiful things are." He looked at her, and for a second time their eyes met. "You are right," he said. "Hitherto I have thought myself all-wise.
The Princess, I know, has great need of a maid of honor near her person, and will gladly welcome a friend of mine for the post." The Little Playmate looked up astonished, as well she might, at this direct assault, which was moreover spoken with a pretty shamefacedness and the air of asking almost too great a favor.
"What do you think of the Englishman, Königin?" I asked, giving the fire another poke, not from shamefacedness, but because it really needed it, for the evening was damp and chilly. "I like him," said Königin decidedly. Königin and I were always prepared with decided opinions, whether we knew anything about the subject in hand or not.
He pulled himself together, walked firmly up to the table and resting his hand upon it, he faced the other man with a sudden gaze made up partly of suddenly conceived resolve and partly of lingering shamefacedness. "Mr. Clyffurde," he began abruptly. "Yes?" "Have you any cause to hate me?" "Why no," replied Clyffurde with his habitual good-humoured smile. "Why should I have?"
When Felix spoke to her, she absolutely coloured rosy red and faltered, unable to conquer the shamefacedness that their encounter had left her, and when the party had taken leave, and she was standing in the twilight, Ethel, to her great surprise, found the child quietly crying. 'Nothing! she said, angry at being detected. 'It can't be nothing. 'Yes it is.
Was it a runaway match? with the groom, perhaps, or the footman? Only the natural shamefacedness of a budding girl in prying into her mother's most domestic secrets prevented Dolores from asking Herminia some day point-blank all about it. But she was gradually becoming aware that some strange atmosphere of doubt surrounded her birth and her mother's history.
