He acknowledged that they had a large share of physical suffering to endure, but asserted that Nature, to preserve her balance, must have arranged their minds so as to render them incapable of suffering in any other way. Sentimentality, hysteria, and silliness, he said, were at the bottom of all their mental troubles, which did not, therefore, merit serious attention.
When you are present, he thinks of no one else. You see," Isabel spoke with something of an effort, "he's in love with you." "Yes yes, of course. I'm very silly." Dinah dabbed her eyes and began to smile. "But he makes me feel all the while as if as if he wants to eat me. I know it's all my silliness; but I wish you weren't going to the Dower House all the same.
The painted scenes were my world. I knew nothing but shadows, and I thought them real. You came oh, my beautiful love! and you freed my soul from prison. You taught me what reality really is. To-night, for the first time in my life, I saw through the hollowness, the sham, the silliness of the empty pageant in which I had always played.
So Maurice, repeating to himself these useful words, saw only ill health, not silliness, in Eleanor's occasional tears. It was a week after the shingling of the henhouse, that, leaving her to recuperate still further at Green Hill, he started in on his job of "office boy" his jocose title for his position in the real-estate office in Mercer. Eleanor did not want to be left, and said so, wistfully.
Then she saw that his motives had been wholly unselfish even quixotic, as it appeared to her silly, she would have called it, if silliness had not seemed unlikely in him.

She ran her fingers through her golden-brown hair nervously, caught at a flying bit of old ribbon at her waist, and said in French: "He is honest altogether, sir.
Free as he boasted himself from lover's silliness, he had magnified Rhoda's image. She was not the glorious rebel he had pictured.

He had not found his ideal though in these days it assuredly existed.
It wasn't silliness on your part to exaggerate this little trifle of love-making into something serious. I was poaching on your preserves, and you wanted to get rid of me. It was all very nice and snug here, you and the girl, until I came along. And now you're jealous that's it, jealousy and want me out of it. But I won't go." "Then stay on by all means. I won't quarrel with you about it.
I was choking with rage as I remembered that my honesty had been suspected, I, who for fourteen years had served the Emperor with a disinterestedness which was so scrupulous, and even carried to such a point that many persons called it silliness; I, who had never demanded anything of the Emperor, either for myself or my people!
Something which was not the words was of a succinctness which filled her with new terror. "I I know!" she whimpered, "I only said if you were!" "If I were in this instance it would make no difference." He saw the kind of slippery silliness he was dealing with and what it might transform itself into if allowed a loophole. "There must be no mistakes."
Some of them were great figures in literature and philosophy, and strong enough to shake aside the silliness of sensibility; but others, while they professed to be great as writers or philosophers, are now remembered only because their devotion to sensibility made them conspicuous in their own time. They dabbled in one thing and another; they "cribbed" from every popular writer of the day.
