What do you mean?" asked Gertrude, stopping. Mr. Brand stopped also, and with the same soft straight-forwardness, "He does n't care for the things you care for the great questions of life." Gertrude, with her eyes on his, shook her head. "I don't care for the great questions of life. They are much beyond me." "There was a time when you did n't say that," said Mr. Brand.
Influenced by acts men are placed in different situations of life. Acts, therefore, produce consequences that are inevitable; emancipation is desired from mere folly. It seemeth that man can never attain prosperity in this world by virtue, gentleness, forgiveness, straight-forwardness and fear of censure!
He was not a member of one of the old Longport families, and belonged to a less eminent social level. His straight-forwardness of behavior and excellent business position were his chief claims, besides the fact that he was not only rich, but growing richer every day.

The nobility of her nature, her inflexible straight-forwardness came upon him with overwhelming force. Dressed in molleton, with no adornment save the glow of a perfect health, she seemed at this moment, as on the Ecrehos, the one being on earth worth living and caring for.

On the occasion I thought of nothing but the squire's straight-forwardness, and grieved to have to wound him. Janet helped me.
Count Kollowrath, the minister of the interior, and Baron Kubeck, the minister of finance, are both Bohemians, and thus, next to the Chancellor of State, occupy the most important offices in the empire.
