Nor is the example a fair one to cite in the present instance, the positions not being equally balanced. Love is woman's business, and in "business" we all lay aside our natural weaknesses the shyest man I ever knew was a photographic tout. Oh, yes, I do I know a lot about 'em. I was one myself once, though not long not so long as my clothes.
After hiding a month in shyest shade, the pair of happy sinners had wandered forth one day to look on men and marvel at them, and had chanced to meet Mr. Morton of Poer Hall, Austin Wentworth's friend, and Ralph's uncle. Mr.
"Allow me to introduce to you the Honorable David Ritchie, whom you rejected a few moments ago." "Whom I rejected?" she exclaimed. "Alas," said Nick, with a commiserating glance at me, "he has the misfortune to be a lawyer." Mademoiselle shot at me the swiftest and shyest of glances, and turned to us once more her quivering shoulders. There was a brief silence.
"Come along." And she went off at a canter, Erskine following her with a misgiving that his visit was unfortunately timed. On the following Thursday Gertrude, Agatha, and Jane met for the first time since they had parted at Alton College. Agatha was the shyest of the three, and externally the least changed.
Milliken's maid, who wouldn't come to her mistress; it was he, the shyest of men, who stormed the ladies' cabin that maritime harem in order to get her mother's bottle of salts; it was he who went for the brandy-and-water, and begged, and prayed, and besought his adored Lavinia to taste a leetle drop. Lavinia's reply was, "Don't go away don't tease, Horace," and so forth.
Yet even the slaughter wrought by man in certain localities does not seem adequate to explain the scarcity or extinction of wolves, throughout the country at large. In most places they are not followed any more eagerly than are the other large beasts of prey, and they are usually followed with less success. Of all animals the wolf is the shyest and hardest to slay.
Most of the birds prefer the edge of the woods, where they can dip into the sunshine and take long flights through the free air of the open; but the hermit-thrush, shyest and sweetest of singers, makes his home deep in the silent, shadowy forest. In these depths, and oftenest near a bog or marsh, you may also hear the call of the partridge, or more properly, the ruffed grouse.
But they knew at the same time that it was one of the shyest of birds, so shy that it is very difficult to get even a long shot at one. How, then, was it to be approached within range of the Bushman's arrow? That was the point to be considered.
If Wordsworth were to impress mankind it must be, one might have thought, by travelling out of himself altogether by revealing some such energy of imagination as can create a world of romance and adventure in the shyest heart. But this was not so to be.
At last we came to a little foam-fringed cay, where it was conceivable that the shyest and rarest of shells would choose to make its home a tiny aristocrat, driven out of the broad tideways by the coarser ambitions and the ruder strength of great molluscs that feed and grow fat and house themselves in crude convolutions of uncouthly striving horn; a little lonely shore, kissed with the white innocence of the sea, where pearls might secretly make themselves perfect, untroubled by the great doings of wind and tide merely rocked into beauty by ripple and beam, with a teardrop falling, once in a while, into their dim growing hearts, from some wavering distant star.
