"I don't know whether I ought to say even that. I shouldn't, only to you. Because I know I can rely on your discretion...." "Rather. Only you must admit that when she appeared this morning and last night she was looking ..." "Looking what?" "Well ... rather too statuesque for jollity." "Perhaps the heat. I know she complains of the heat; it gives her a headache."
Guards, leaning upon their muskets, stood in statuesque poses on either side of the main entrance, while the wide archway, draped with flags, opening into the ballroom, revealed an inspiring glimpse of swiftly revolving figures in gay uniforms and flashing skirts. Over all floated the low, swinging music of the band.
A mild choke at that moment caused the maid to fall into statuesque composure, and the painter to put his frowning head tremendously to one side as he stepped back in order to make quite sure that the last touch was really equal, if not superior, to Michael Angelo himself!

You are reinstalled with your full rank and record, and moreover, in order that your reinstallment may be unequivocal in the eyes of the public, I appoint you my special aide-de-camp for the review of this morning. Horse yourself and report at my apartments." Lecour had stood throughout the interview perfectly motionless almost statuesque, except a slight clinching of the hands at times.
