"You must not take his view of the captain at all. Remember what the colonel said of him " "Mother dear," protested Alice, laughing, "I have no doubt Captain Armitage is the paragon of a soldier, but he is unquestionably a most unpleasant and ungentlemanly person in his conduct to the young officers. Mr. Hall has told me the same thing.
Which shows you where I got encouragement to be "ungentlemanly," as Jimmie calls me. Innsbruck is the capital of Tyrol, and the whole country of Tyrol is like a picture-book. Its history is so stirring, its country so beautiful, its people are so picturesque.
And we could not think it ungentlemanly of him to say we were like jam, because, as Alice says, jam is very nice indeed only not on furniture and improper places like that. My father said, 'Perhaps they had better go to boarding-school. And that was awful, because we know Father disapproves of boarding-schools. And he looked at us and said, 'I am ashamed of them, sir!
And that is the whole art and mystery of it. The gentle man can not in the nature of things do an ungentle and ungentlemanly thing. The ungentle soul, the inconsiderate, unsympathetic nature can not do anything else. "Love doth not behave itself unseemly." Unselfishness. "Love seeketh not her own." Observe: Seeketh not even that which is her own.
"I am indifferent as to what you believe," she replied coldly. "But you are ungentlemanly to express yourself so freely. Why should you say that?" "Because I chance to know more than you suppose. Never mind how the information reached me; had it been less authentic you might find me now more susceptible to your presence, more choice in my language.
It makes me hot all over to remember what I suffered that week, and for long, afterwards. But I think it cured me of bragging, which is a mean ungentlemanly habit, and of telling everybody everything about myself and my relations, which is very weak-minded.
"Celia, don't you think it would be an ungentlemanly thing to take a social event like that?" "Why, you must take life as it is. Of course you would change the details. You could lay the scene in Philadelphia. Nobody would suspect you then." Philip shook his head. The conversation was not taking the turn that was congenial to him.
"Well, it would be confoundedly ungentlemanly of me to be prying into anyone's affairs, Brigley, and I won't ask questions about him. I hope, though, he hasn't done anything so foolish as to desert, because, even if he is in the band, he is a soldier, and I have heard nothing. Has it been reported?" "Yes, sir; and Mr Wilkins is making a big stir about it.
Another governor was sent over to take the place of Bobadilla, for they soon learned that that ungentlemanly knight was not even so good or so strict a governor as Columbus had been. Almost two years passed in this way and still Columbus staid in Spain. At last the king and queen said he might go if he would not go near Hayti and would be sure to find other and better gold lands.
"Look here, sir, I was rude to you just now devilish rude. Most ungentlemanly of me. I must apologize." North bowed, without speaking, and tried to pass. "You must excuse my violence," Frere went on. "I'm bad-tempered, and I didn't like my wife interfering. Women, don't you know, don't see these things don't understand these scoundrels." North again bowed. "Why, d n it, how savage you look!
