These and similar exclamations were sung out by various voices in different tones, to which my mother, as she lay in her cot, listened not unpleased, till at length my father having given her a kiss, and uttered a few words of congratulation and thanks to Heaven sailors are not addicted to long prayers again took me in his outstretched palms, and thus brought me forth to the admiring gaze of his shipmates.
I was not unpleased to be alone during this period of discipline when my soul was perforce purged of its troublesome ferments. It was well that my neighbor should have gone where she might distract me never so little. For it was at the season when Nature brews the irresistible philter.
Through all this dismal scene Paolina tripped lightly along with a quick step through the crisp morning air, no little awed by the dreary, voiceless desolation of it, but yet encouraged and not unpleased by the solitude of it.
An older lady coming forward with an air of authority demanded: "What is this disturbance, Lorance?" "A wager between me and my cousin Paul, madame," she answered with instant gravity and respect. "Paul de Lorraine! Is he here?" the other asked, unpleased, I thought. "Yes, madame. He dropped from the skies on us this afternoon. He is out of the house again now."
"Worldly?" in some surprise. She nodded seriously over her serviceable, unworldly brown collarette. "How am I worldly?" he pursued, in a tone of one not entirely unpleased. "Why throwing wads in church lack of respect for religious things and things like that." "Oh, I see," said Arthur, his tone dropping a little.

Those men who judged by the outside of things and, knowing Vigo's iron ways, said that he ruled Monsieur, were wrong. The big equery gave me over to the charge of Marcel and returned to the inner room.
Yet she was calling to him, calling to him with all she possessed, calling to him as to her master. He succeeded in persuading her to eat and drink, and she departed, a little grim and unpleased, in the motor car which Mr. Foley had insisted upon ordering round. Then Maraton strolled into the garden to take his delayed coffee. Elisabeth came noiselessly across the turf to his side.
The South was not unpleased, as was indicated by the speed with which men presented themselves for pardon and assisted in setting up new state governments. Nevertheless there were disquieting possibilities of dissension. Northern radicals could be counted upon to oppose so moderate a policy.
For close designs and crooked counsels fit, Sagacious, bold, and turbulent of wit, Restless, unfix'd in principle and place, In power unpleased, impatient in disgrace. The village of Inverary, now a neat country town, then partook of the rudeness of the seventeenth century, in the miserable appearance of the houses, and the irregularity of the unpaved street.
Through this sardonical mist, the face of the Man-in-the-Moon looking right towards the combatants, as if he were standing in a trap-door of the sea, leaning forward leisurely with his arms complacently folded over upon the edge of the horizon this queer face wore a serious, apishly self-satisfied leer, as if the Man-in-the-Moon had somehow secretly put up the ships to their contest, and in the depths of his malignant old soul was not unpleased to see how well his charms worked.
