He several times referred to certain enemies of his, tried to drop hints, repeated himself, coughed, and flourished his fingers unbecomingly.
When she and Sir Samuel were out of the way, as safely disposed of as Monsieur Charretier himself, I felt so extravagantly happy in reaction, after all my worries, that I danced a jig in her ladyship's sacred bedchamber. Then I prepared to start for my own personally conducted expedition; and this time I took no great pains to do my hair unbecomingly.

I caught a darted glance which accompanied the words and which made Ettie recoil into the recesses of her pudding. "But yesterday was so cold, Clara," Mrs. Mallet went on, actually venturing to oppose the infallible authority. "A nipping morning.
He was a fake, but not entirely a fake. At Cambridge he had won his chess blue and was esteemed the best whist player of his time. He was a liar and unbecomingly boastful, but the odd thing was that he had actually done some of the things he boasted of.
It may comfort you a little to perform that silly magic.

Hank's whole face, especially in the region of his eyes, was puffed unbecomingly.
