He grew them in pots expressly for the purpose; and his bearer set them in a wine-glass on his breakfast-table every morning. Quita's verdict on her visitor moved him to a smile of half-cynical amusement. He enjoyed her occasional unabashed lapses into the eternal feminine. "I'm with you there," he answered, heartily. "The worst fault a human being can commit is to be faultless. Poor Mrs Desmond!
"Lord Russell? Lord Palmerston?" suggested Sir Wilfrid, attacking his own lunch meanwhile with unabashed vigor. "That sort. I wish we had their like now." "Their successors don't please you?" Lady Henry shook her head. "The Tories have gone to the deuce, and there are no longer enough Whigs even to do that. I wouldn't read the newspapers at all if I could help it. But I do."
He was evidently thinking of her pretty looks and ways rather than of what she was saying, and, like all of her sisterhood, this was treatment which she thoroughly understood. For the moment she forgot that he was the man who had startled and almost shocked her by his unabashed presentation, in a conversation with a young lady, of ideas and convictions.
'I should have thought you regretted that incident by now, O Burdon, answered Haddo, entirely unabashed. 'My time is very short, said Arthur. 'Then I will get to my business without delay. I thought it might interest you to know that I propose to bring a counter-petition against my wife, and I shall make you co-respondent. 'You infamous blackguard! cried Arthur furiously.
Claude pulled it open and beheld Marjolin, whom Cadine was kissing, whilst he, a mere dummy, offered his face without feeling the slightest thrill at the touch of her lips.

"Three things," replied the latter, unabashed, "this man is either mad, or he has been suborned to tell lies, or he is simply mistaken."

Ah, here is Polton that man is on wires this morning; he has been wandering in and out of the rooms ever since he came, like a cat in a new house." "It's quite true, sir," said Polton, smiling and unabashed, "so it's no use denying it. I have come to ask what we are going to take with us to the court." "You will find a box and a portfolio on the table in my room," replied Thorndyke.
