Each was afraid to speak, afraid even to meet the eyes of the other two. An unmajestic silence followed. 'Well, I'll be off, I think, Liversage remarked at length with difficulty. He rose.

When a bishop has insulted him, he replies with an insinuation that the bishop obtained his preferment by fraud and misrepresentation, and jeers at him for having begun life as a nobleman's Private Tutor, called by the "endearing but unmajestic name of Dick."

We cannot refuse her request since it is seconded by the commands of our Father, and thirded by the entreaties of Mr.
The features of Louis XVI. were noble enough, though somewhat melancholy in expression; his walk was heavy and unmajestic; his person greatly neglected; his hair, whatever might be the skill of his hairdresser, was soon in disorder. His voice, without being harsh, was not agreeable; if he grew animated in speaking he often got above his natural pitch, and became shrill.
The indifference of the Duchess of Kent to the heavy pomps and heavier gayeties of his Court so offended his unmajestic Majesty, that he finally became decidedly inimical to the Duchess. Though he insisted on seeing the little Princess often, he did not like the English people to see too much of her, or to pay her and her mother too much honor.
