He asked me in coarse language if I knew how to read, talked of punishment, and added, "Don't do it again!" This tirade, perhaps justified on the whole, but tactlessly uttered by the quondam Pétrolus, humiliated me deeply and left me gloomy all the day. Some other incidents showed me that I no longer belonged to myself.
Luncheon proved to be dinner, but they were none the less glad of it for that. And instead of freezing every time the landlord was tactlessly emotional, Marjorie found that she could be amused at it, and that her being amused helped Francis to be amused. She always looked back tenderly to that yard of kittens, and to those other many yards of impossible and scarlet birds.
Yelling out my identity, in spite of the hatter's tactlessly adhesive whiskers, I made one bolt for the open window, having successfully evaded the whirling crop every time, but it was a lamentably tame ending to a carefully planned drama. Remembering these family incidents, we decided that it would be as well to abandon the idea of a visit to Government House by a distinguished Rajput nobleman.
It was tactlessly conveyed to the bottom of the mines and made some of the women anxious to get to the top to breathe gunpowder in preference to brimstone. Reports went to show, however, that all was as well down below as could be expected in a "settlement" so new and so congested. What a spectacle the town presented!
Rossmore went to Long Island to see what could be had, and she found at the little village of Massapequa just what they were looking for a commodious, neatly-furnished two-story cottage at a modest rental. Of course, it was nothing like what they had been accustomed to, but it was clean and comfortable, and as Mrs. Rossmore said, rather tactlessly, beggars cannot be choosers.
"There are other people to consider," he said: "her relations whom I shall have to see, and a lot of things like that. It is not like marrying a girl from the nearest village," he added tactlessly, but without, in his self-absorption, meaning to wound. Archelaus drew away through the night. He laughed a little. "Not as if you was wedding Phoebe, who's only a miller's girl?" he asked.
"Minty," said Miss Hitty, abruptly, "leave the room!" Araminta rose, gathered up her patchwork, and went out, carefully closing the door. It was only in moments of great tenderness that her aunt called her "Minty." The light footsteps died away upon the stairs. Tactlessly, the minister persisted. "Don't you know?" he asked. Miss Mehitable turned upon him.
"Yes," he continued, with a certain grim accent of satire in his voice, "I paid £25,000 for each of these gentlemen." And when one of his guests tactlessly remarked, "But surely you need not have done so, Mr. Rhodes?
I said, I admit tactlessly; and she skimmed away over that to things that sounded wise but weren't really, about violins and the technique of fiddling. Not that I haven't already felt it, the cleavage here in the classes; but this was my first experience of the real thing, the real Junker lady the Koseritzes are Prussians.
She will not flaunt her decision in the parental face, nor cause ructions by tactlessly obtruding the bone of contention; but she will be firm and loyal, true to herself and to him she loves. Where the Mother Shares the Secret. Where the father is somewhat of a Spartan there is not unfrequently a gentle, sympathetic mother, who will dare much to make her child happy.
