Save for these intervals, she wrote with quick decision, in a large clear hand, never underlining, but frequently supplying the emphasis of heavy stroke in her penning of a word. At the end of her letters came a signature excellent in individuality: "Miriam Baske." The furniture of her room was modern, and of the kind demanded by wealthy forestieri in the lodgings they condescend to occupy.
"Under the circumstances," he wrote, deeply underlining the words, "I cannot remain a moment longer in Edgewood, where I have been so happy and so miserable!" He did not refer to the fact that the time limit on his return-ticket expired that day, for his dramatic instinct told him that such sordid matters have no place in heroics.
In the second place, Dolly's literary style is as breathlessly devoid of punctuation as that of most of her sex. Commas and notes of interrogation form her chief stock-in-trade, though underlining is freely employed. There is not a single full-stop from start to finish. The extracts from the letter here reproduced have been edited by me.
Thoroughly womanly, hasty words, written on impulse, with underlining and a dash.... Then it occurred to me to go round to Froken Elisabeth's address; there was still a glimmer of hope.

Thomas, submitted it to Bishop Neumann, whose learning was in high repute, and obtained his assurance of its accuracy. That little book is a curiosity of underlining and various other forms of emphasizing. It was with him till death. From it he referred to the full works of St.

But the book is a thinly-disguised political pamphlet. "My dear lady," the reader murmurs, "I wondered why you were so set upon underlining all these things.
"Lassie," urged Gootes, underlining the honey of his voice with a tantalizing glimpse of a rapidfire snatching of three colored handkerchiefs out of the air, "tis no sensible course ye follow. Think, gurrl, what the press can do to a recalcitrant lass like yoursel. Ye wouldna like it if tomorrow's paper branded you and I quote 'an unsexed harpy, a traitor to mankind, a heartless, soulless "
Archdeacon Long could not refrain from underlining each fresh salvo of artillery; while: "That's a breach in their walls for 'em!" was Chinnery of the London Chartered's contribution to the stock of fun. Mahony stood on the hearthrug and surveyed the assembly. His eyes fled Mrs. Confound the woman! This caught numberless lights from the candles, as did also the wings of her glossy hair.

The only real reason for doing a thing is because you want to do it. I think the talk about 'engagements' is cant." "I think perhaps it is," said Rickie. But he went.
The whole view, with the harbour jetties of white stone underlining lividly the dark front of the town to the left, and the expanding space of water to the right with jutting promontories of no particular character, had the uninspiring, glittering quality of a very fresh oleograph. Razumov turned his back on it with contempt.
