He called to the under-keeper to bring along the gillies and the dogs; whereupon Lady Rosamund, who had a temper not quite in consonance with the calm and statuesque beauty of her features, closed her sketch-book and threw it aside, saying she would make the drawing some other day when she found the gentlemen a little more considerate.
In common hours, society sits cold and statuesque. We all stand waiting, empty, knowing, possibly, that we can be full, surrounded by mighty symbols which are not symbols to us, but prose and trivial toys.
She uttered the last words shyly, partly afraid of bringing a frown on the lovely face opposite to her, which was quickly losing its vivid expression and sinking back into statuesque coldness. "It is simply weariness to me and vexation of spirit," she answered.
All these things returned to the young girl's memory as she gazed at the cold, statuesque face of her lover's father.

It should also be observed that notwithstanding their frigidity and statuesque composure, the pictures of "S. Andrew" and "S.

But goodness and his own arrogant self alone knew when or where; in the squall, most likely. But he had certainly vanished.
