It is not so easily permissible of clear analysis and definite exposition; and although it is true that, in a certain sense, it may be learned, it is also true that it cannot be taught. The word "style" comes trippingly to the tongue of every critic; but it has never yet been satisfactorily defined.
When I saw the girl come away from her room, which she did rather trippingly, I went to her, and found her by no means the wreck I had expected the ordeal to leave her. "Did you meet Miss Gage?" she asked. "Yes," I returned, with tremulous expectation. "Well, don't you think she looks perfectly divine in that gown? It's one of Mme. Cody's, and we got it for thirty dollars.
He shook his curls; he smiled and went easily through the seven motions for acquiring grace in your own room before an open window ten minutes each day. He danced like a faun; he introduced manner and style and atmosphere; his words came trippingly upon his tongue, and he waltzed twice in succession with the paper-box girl that Dempsey Donovan brought.
