The Matzoth that Esther ate were not dainty they were coarse, of the quality called "seconds," for even the unleavened bread of charity is not necessarily delicate eating but few things melted sweeter on the palate than a segment of a Matso dipped in cheap raisin wine: the unconventionally of the food made life less common, more picturesque.
He was a small, sharp-faced man, with grave, staring eyes, and a beard somewhat foreign. His clothes were black; respectable and yet casual; those of a man who dressed conventionally because it was a bore to dress unconventionally as it is.
Her frankness in running after him showed him her sense of her position, her popularity, her attraction. How could she think she was undignified? No doubt she thought him an oddity who must be treated unconventionally. He felt savage, but he felt flattered. "I'll show her what I am!" was his thought.
She gave herself up to work as a respite from the torment of thought, resolutely refusing to look forward, striving so to become absorbed in the daily task as to crowd out even memory. She and Merston were fast friends also, and his wholesome masculine selfishness did her good. He was like a pleasant, rather spoilt child, unconventionally affectionate, and by no means difficult to manage.
We have seen that our ancestors gained something, no doubt, from their spirit of unconventionally and freedom.

The three colored people saw her at once, and, with the unconventionally of their old servitude, shouted out in chorus: "How do, Miss C'rona?" "Sarvint, Miss C'rona!" "Didn't 'spect to see we dem come trapesin' arter yer 'way out yere, did yer now?" And they also grinned and bobbed, and bobbed and grinned, between every word, as they tumbled off their seats and ran to meet her. Mr.
No old-fashioned Democrat would have smoked cigarettes, tossed dice in public for drinks, and "handed out" slang to his constituents; and his unconventionally in these respects is merely an occasional expression of a novel, individual, and refreshing point of view. Mr. Jerome alone among American politicians has made a specialty of plain speaking.
I made a gay rejoinder, reflecting on the character of his own unmarried female relations, and entered the room. Philippa was sitting on the lofty, dark oak chimney-piece, with her feet dangling unconventionally over the fireplace. The snow, melting from her little boots and her hair, had made a large puddle on the floor.
