Very flattering if he has come again so soon. The visitor was in mirthful humour, and met with a reception of corresponding tone. He remarked at once that Miss Nunn had a much pleasanter aspect than a week ago; her smile was ready and agreeable; she sat in a sociable attitude and answered a jesting triviality with indulgence.
He would simply feel that the potatoes had become poetical and the lamps gained an extra light. This may be irrational; but we are not talking of rationality, but of the psychology of first love. It may be very unfair to women that the toil and triviality of potato peeling should be seen through a glamour of romance; but the glamour is quite as certain a fact as the potatoes.
That dog by the roadside; how the anguish of its eyes had haunted her through the day I It was the revolt of her whole being against the cruelty inherent in life. That evening she could not read the book she had in hand; its phrases seemed to fall into triviality.
He would tell you he had the finest place in the world, and the finest pictures in the world, yet these things did not save him from unhappiness. He could not understand that happiness is attained through renunciation. He had never renounced anything, and so his life was a mere triviality.

He made no talk about it, but all his words and acts thenceforth show a selfless, devoted temper. He bore incalculable burdens and perplexities for the sake of the people. He met the vast complication of forces which mix in politics and war the selfishness, hatred, meanness, triviality, along with the higher elements with the rarest union of shrewdness, flexibility, and steadfastness.
The triviality of death, to those who look upon it from the heights of eternity, is well represented by these brief words which tell of the first breach thereby in the circle of the Apostles. II. There is another contrast, James and Peter. Now this chapter tells of two things: the death of one of that pair of friends; the miracle that was wrought for the deliverance of the other from death.
His reasoning therefore runs upon a triviality, such as that industry in Germany is not yet so developed as in England, or that a movement in its beginnings looks different from a movement that has made progress.
Now I understood the stupendous calamity that had overtaken England. Invasion? Invasion is a triviality to it. It was the INTERDICT! I asked no questions; I didn't need to ask any. The Church had struck; the thing for me to do was to get into a disguise, and go warily.
