"That's not weakness; it's strength," declared Lucia, out of the fulness of experience gleaned from a hundred novels or more. Margaret shook her head uncompromisingly. "It'd be weakness for me." She dropped upon the bench beside her sister. "I'm going to marry, and I'm going to superintend your future myself. I'm not going to let them kill all the fine feeling in you, as they've killed it in me."
The apartment not only received the sun, a royal privilege in New York, but it was gay with flowers, both potted and in vases, and the walls were decorated with drawings of her own choosing. Only the furniture remained uncompromisingly of the hotel tone.
It seemed to him quite intolerable that he must lie there and smile, and assent politely to the divagations of Olive concerning Brenton's future plans. Besides, loyal as he was to Olive, Reed was conscious of a little disappointment that a girl, even as uncompromisingly downright as she, should be quite so prompt in expressing interest in Brenton's future.
His words were carefully selected to avoid giving offence, but the gist of their meaning was that he waited for his visitor to give an account of himself. "I should like to speak in the presence of my wife," Emmet announced uncompromisingly.
She herself refused to appear at any grand dinners, preferring the family party, where she held her own and was spared all slights to her pride. This familiarity, by which she uncompromisingly put herself on their level, conciliated their servile good-nature, which is indispensable to a parasite.

"Do you guess we can keep off the subject, Comyn?" he demanded. Even Mr.

She gripped his hands in answer, but she did not speak a word. And so they sped away together into the dark.
"The Major is in, I think, isn't he, Mrs. Dominic?" said Miss Mapp, in her most insinuating tones. "No, miss; out," said Dominic uncompromisingly. "Dear me! How tiresome, when he told me " said she, with playful annoyance. "Would you be very kind, Mrs. Dominic, and just see for certain that he is not in his room? He may have come in."
I should like to see the man who sat to Artist Hardy for the portrait of Corporal Tullidge in The Trumpet-Major. This worthy, who was deaf and talked in an uncompromisingly loud voice, had been struck in the head by a piece of shell at Valenciennes in '93. His left arm had been smashed.
She remembered Elinor's home-comings of years ago, the strained air of the household, the whispering servants, and Elinor herself shut away, or making her rare, almost furtive visits downstairs when her father was out of the house. No, she could not face that. Her own willfulness had brought her to this pass; she faced that uncompromisingly.
