'And how has Tom been managing? 'Stunningly civil! He began with Ave Ward, in the Lancers, and it was such fun he chaffed her in his solemn way, about music I believe it was, and her harmonium. I could not quite hear, but I could see she was in a tremendous taking, and she won't recover it all the evening. 'What a shame it is of Tom! 'Oh! but it is such fun!
I am about to know the family, and may have much to do with them. Is the lady so very alarming? Her father gives her such a portentously hard-headed reputation, that I have a burning desire to know.

Dacier's grotesque fancy under annoyance pictured a stream of small printer's devils in flight from his babbling lips. He consumed bits of breakfast, with a sour confession that a newspaper-article had hit him at last, and stunningly. Hat and coat were called for.
"Do you remember the picture of an Italian girl that Tom Demming sent to the Academy exhibition two years ago? A homely face with lots of character in it, and a splendid pose?" "You mean the one he called Marietta? It was well done, if I remember." "Oh, stunningly. That's the girl. She's just landed, and Demming gave her letters to me. She's a staving good model!"

I did not hear what you were saying, but you seemed to be doing stunningly." "She did most of the talking. I asked her to speak slowly, as I did not manage to catch the sense of what she said. She seems full of fun, and a jolly little woman altogether.
He swayed, a hand faltering to his forehead, where dark blood was beginning to well from a cleanly drilled puncture. Then he collapsed completely, falling prone across the raised sill of the bulkhead opening. A convulsive tremor shook savagely his huge frame. Thereafter he was quite still. The report of that one shot had reverberated stunningly within those narrow walls of steel.
She is stunningly handsome, as tall as the Greek cousin, and with a stately grace of manner and a cold dignity of demeanour I'd give my heart's blood to subdue to a mood of womanly tenderness and dependence. Up to this, my position is that of a very humble courtier in the presence of a queen, and she takes care that by no momentary forgetfulness shall I lose sight of the 'situation.
