Now I am objectionable I know it and the longer I remain unengaged the more objectionable I shall become. I wish you would invite nobody but such people as the Foxes." "Why?" "Because they are married," replied Locker. "But I must not wait here. Can you tell me where I shall be likely to find her?" "Yes," said Mrs. Easterfield, "she is with the Foxes, and they are married." Mr.
Our young gentleman, being the first of this society that entered, surveyed the stranger with an attentive eye, and seated himself immediately behind the beautiful unknown, who at once attracted his attention. Pallet, seeing another lady unengaged, in imitation of his friend, took possession of her neighbourhood; the physician paired with the priest, and Jolter sat down by the Jew.
The drawing must certainly have been less stiff than usual; and if there is not much variety in the attitudes of the three spearmen in front, at any rate those attitudes contrast well, both with the stillness of the unengaged attendants in the rear, and with the animated but very different attitude of the king.
There was, for example, the case of Cecilia Davis, the first Englishwoman to sustain the part of prima donna and in that situation was second only to Gabrielli, whom she even rivalled in neatness of execution. Mount Edgcumbe found Miss Davies in Florence, unengaged and poor. A concert was arranged at which she appeared with her sister.
As we gained the crest of the hill, we were in time to see Soult's victorious columns driving the enemy before them; while the Imperial Guard, up to that moment unengaged, reinforced the grenadiers on the right, and broke through the Russians on every side.

Ralph did not know; but he went home from his ride an unengaged man, and may perhaps have been thought to behave badly on that occasion also. But Lady Eardham, though she was sometimes despondent and often cross, was gifted with perseverance.
In their drunken fear they imagined that if I got possession of the wires I would have it in my power to do them an injury. As easily as I could have lifted an infant, the great savage with his unengaged hand swung me from my feet, and contemptuously dropped me on my chair again, after which he took a long draught out of the bottle, and then handed it to his companion.
We are safe here from all intrusion, and I can lay bare my inmost thoughts to you, Barker, if I happen to have any. Barker, I'm awfully glad you're not engaged to either of those girls, or both.

It was not certain, but our hero was forced to admit that the chances of his father's being alive were extremely slender. Finding himself utterly at a loss, he resolved to call upon his firm friend, Squire Paine, the lawyer. Going to his office, he was fortunate enough to find him in, and unengaged.
