It cannot be denied that he made a grand figure in Europe and in Asia, or that France would have infinitely profited by close union with him. He did not like the Emperor; he wished to sever us from England, and it was England which rendered us deaf to his invitations, unbecomingly so, though they lasted after his departure.
Better so; he might have spoken indiscreetly, unbecomingly, in a tone which would only have surprised and shocked that gracious lady. He reached his rooms again with brain and heart in fiery tumult. Serena Mumbray! he was tempted to put an end to his life in some brutal fashion, such as suited with his debasement. Another letter had arrived during his absence.
"If you had intended so far to honor us," the old lady replied, icily, "I should have thought that you would have approached the subject with some degree of formality." "Miss Herron!" "To speak of such matters in an automobile is to treat them very unbecomingly. It is not," she continued, and all her unbending rigidity of demeanor was behind her words, "dignified."
I have behaved strangely, nay unbecomingly, and now that which is hard to endure is hanging over me, something strange- which will perhaps drive you from me back to your mother." "I will share everything with you," cried Nefert. "What is going to happen? Are you then no longer the daughter of Rameses?"
Such at any rate is the claim of Franklin, who was surely in a position to feel the pulse of the colonies better than any other one man. Thus the golden bridge which the Americans were charged with unwisely and unbecomingly refusing to hold out to the minister and parliament, was actually held out to them, but they refused to walk over it."

As ever, I had my full reward. She turned to me, took my hands in hers, and whispered, "My splendid Oliver!" "What, madam?" said I, laughing lest I should do otherwise and most unbecomingly.
Blacks never settled on her face, the buttons never came off her gloves, she never lost her umbrella, and in the windiest weather no loose untidy wisps escaped from her thick heavy shining hair to wander unbecomingly round the ears that were pearly and pink like the little shells of Vanessae. Some of the women who hated her used to say that she dyed her hair.
Her hair was fixed on the top of her head for the very first time in her life, a graduation from the long red plait just for this glorious Visit. Her feeling about that heavy, unbecomingly arranged roll, and the hairpins which held it in place, was an indescribable mixture of pride and elation and satisfaction.
Two years and a half after the marriage of Ethelberta and the evening adventures which followed it, a man young in years, though considerably older in mood and expression, walked up to the 'Red Lion' Inn at Anglebury. The anachronism sat not unbecomingly upon him, and the voice was precisely that of the Christopher Julian of heretofore.
But I daresay I am retailing information with which you are no doubt already quite familiar, and in all probability 'Maryllia Van' is not likely to cross your path at any time, as among her other reported characteristics is that of a cheap scorn for religion, a scorn which sits so unbecomingly on our modern women, and forbodes so much disaster in the future, they being the mothers of the coming race.
