In May I knew you had a heart; but one who heard you in the woods would have set you down just for a kindly, practical man of the world. Last night, and most of the time to-day, you were the trifler, the incorrigible jester. Why do you belie yourself so and hide your inmost self from all but me?" "Because I've got to convert you, old man.
No other country could produce a tragic poet equal to Racine, a comic poet equal to Moliere, a trifler so agreeable as La Fontaine, a rhetorician so skilful as Bossuet. The literary glory of Italy and of Spain had set; that of Germany had not yet dawned. The genius, therefore, of the eminent men who adorned Paris shone forth with a splendour which was set off to full advantage by contrast.
Her heart had warmed with her brother's praise of Clarke. Then as she remembered the past she felt a scorn for her weakness and such a revulsion of feeling that she cried out passionately: "He is a trifler. He never cared for me. He insulted me." Col. Zane reached for his hat, got up without saying another word and went down stairs.
Primrose danced and laughed through her April years, and then came May with bloom and more steadiness, and then peerless, magnificent June. "I am but a sad trifler, after all," she would say to Madam Wetherill. "Shall I ever be like my dear mother or have any of the sober Henry blood in me?" "Nay," was the answer.
When you die, I expect you will leave a clause in your will, to the effect that the undertaker shall be a man of good, plain, common sense. O dear! What a dull life you will lead! Darby and Joan!" "You are still a trifler with serious matters, Charles. But time will sober you, I trust, and do it before such a change will come too late." "How much is old Emory worth, Walter?"
There was in him a dispassionateness, a breadth, which seemed most strange in a trifler of the Court, in an exquisite for such he was. I sometimes think that his elegance and flippancy were deliberate, lest he should be taking himself or life too seriously. His intelligence charmed me, held me, and, later, as we travelled up to Quebec, I found my journey one long feast of interest.
This continued for almost a full minute, when he turned quickly away and walked to the hearth, indrawing a heavy breath. He could not endure that which beset him; it was unbearable, because her eyes had maddeningly seemed to ask him some wistful question. Why did she let her loveliness so call to him. She was not a trifler who could play with meanings. Perhaps she did not know what her power was.
But I have no water-proof case for myself; and being compelled to brace my nerves for the encounter, they will be apt to snap." "You incorrigible trifler, can you disguise yourself as well now, as when you palmed yourself upon us all for the minstrel Guigo?" "Certainly." "And can you array me as your harpbearer, and alter this face and form of mine?"
Ruth is certainly well supplied with the necessary articles, but whether we should not be shortly removed to the Castle at York, or the jail at Newcastle, is a question that I put to your discretion." "Why yield your thoughts to such silly subjects, lovely trifler!" said Barnstable, "when the time and the occasion both urge us to be in earnest?"
But, now I see him in nearer lights, I like him less than ever. Unpolite, cruel, insolent! Unwise! A trifler with his own happiness; the destroyer of mine! Indeed I never liked him so little as now.
