He would much rather have had Sheila unnoticeable and unnoticed one who would quietly take her place at the dinner-table, and attract no more special attention than the flowers, for example, which every one would glance at with some satisfaction, and then forget in the interest of talking and dining. He was quite conscious of his own weakness in thus fearing social criticism.
For a while there was silence as the cart bumped through the muddy rutty streets; the only sound that interfered with thought was the driver's voice, apostrophizing the bullocks; and the abuse he poured on them was so time-honored as to be unnoticeable, like the cawing of the city crows. "It is strange," said the German, after a while. "For years I have tried to get in touch with native officers.
He was a tall, spare young man, very erect and soldierly, with an almost unnoticeable limp. His hair was light brown, almost straw-coloured, and was brushed straight back from the forehead. A small, jaunty moustache, distinctly English in character, adorned his upper lip. His eyes were brown, set well back under a perfectly level, rather prominent brow.
Naked, it was smooth and plump with the water that had seeped into its tissues, and it was a uniform dead-white all over, like the belly of a fish. The face and lips were monochrome white, the hair was bleached, and when it opened its eyes, they were so colorless that the action was almost unnoticeable. Realizing, Happy was paralyzed with shock.
The things that appeal to us most strongly don't touch her. She knows nothing about them." He added, "And that's her great charm for me." Jane nodded sympathetically. Her own case exactly. After a brief hesitation she suggested: "Perhaps Selma's in love with some one else." The pause before the vague "some one else" was almost unnoticeable. "With Victor Dorn, you mean?" said Davy.
Baldish, dim, quiet, he was an unnoticeable part of this festival, and although there were a dozen or more middle-aged men present, not casually to be distinguished from him in general aspect, he was probably the last person in the big house at whom a stranger would have glanced twice.
Paul had the sickening sensation of the man who has confided the high secrets of his soul to coarsefibred woman. He turned away, darkly conscious of having magnanimously given Ada a chance to mount with him into the upper air, which opportunity she, daughter of earth, had, in her purblind manner, refused. Thenceforward Ada was to him an unnoticeable item in the cosmos.
Lisbeth had even mended a long-neglected and unnoticeable rent in the checkered bit of bed-curtain; for the moments were few and precious now in which she would be able to do the smallest office of respect or love for the still corpse, to which in all her thoughts she attributed some consciousness.
It did not seem likely that Cornelia would be specially pretty, her aunt prayed above all things that she was unnoticeable to be unnoticeable was regarded as the climax of elegance in Norton society! then with a sudden softening of expression found herself hoping that there would be something of Edward in looks or manner! She was a lonely woman, living apart from her kin.
He was the same little man we'd known, effaced, bleached, indistinct, like a poor "impression" as unnoticeable as one of his own early finds, yet, like them, with a quality, if one had an eye for it.
