Again, it has been often and very truly said that it is not the conscious and self-styled sceptic, as Shelley for example, who is the true unbeliever. Such a man as Shelley will, as indeed his life abundantly proves, have more in common than not with the true unselfconscious believer.
I think instances of quiet unSELFconscious faith are more common than is generally supposed. Few have along with it the genial communicative impulse of old Samuel Weir, which gives the opportunity of seeing into their hidden world. He seemed to have been, and to have remained, a child, in the best sense of the word.
"No, no," Damaris cried, in her generous eagerness catching back the curtain and looking at him nobly unselfconscious, nobly zealous to defend and to set right. "You mustn't think that. He didn't start with any intention of telling me. He fancied I might have lost my way among the sand-hills, that I might be frightened or get some harm, and so came straight to look for me, and take care of me.
Limer, and looked absolutely unselfconscious, quietly dignified and simple. When he went into the pulpit the lights were lowered and a pleasant twilight prevailed. But the preacher's face was strongly illuminated. Mr. Robertson preached on the sin of egoism, and took as the motto of his sermon the words "Ego dormio et cor meum vigilat."
There was a time in her life the time when she was, or was called, a professional beauty when she could scarcely see a man's face without watching it for admiration. Although she preserved her delightfully unselfconscious manner she was almost ceaselessly conscious of self. Her own beauty was the idol which she worshipped and which she presented to the world expectant of the worship of others.
"Well, however it was, you were always at work; you were responsible, weren't you?" "Yes." "I can't see you even in the vineyards or the wheat-fields. Isn't it strange?" She was always looking at him with the same deep and wholly unselfconscious inquiry. "And as to London, Paris " Suddenly she burst into a little laugh and her gravity vanished. "I think you would hate them," she said.
It was patent that Fillo Billaroo was born with a mind like that of his sweet-tempered mother. He earned his name because of acute dissimilarity to the swiftlet which swoops about the cleared spaces, never resting save in a dark and dirty cave. Though, apparently, entirely unselfconscious, Fillo Billaroo at once established himself as a superior sort of creature. He did not exact any rights.
Her expression was very charming, wholly unselfconscious, in a way maternal, just then. But Iglesias was hardly sensible of it. "That's good," she said. "Now you'll feel a lot better. I saw there was something wrong with you from the start which needed breaking up. Now, suppose you quit inadequate inventions and just tell the truth." "Unfortunately, I have done so already," Mr. Iglesias said.
The bow he finally accomplished was the blighted bud of the bow he had projected; and, as the earth didn't, of its charity, open and engulf him, he hastened as best he could, and with a painful sense of slinking, to remove his crestfallen person from her range of view. When these unselfconscious fellows are startled into selfconsciousness, I fancy they take it hard.
Her usual manner of entering a room was with her head eagerly thrust forward, and her long arms swinging; that was when she was quite comfortable and unselfconscious, but all this must be changed now, and to achieve this Miss Tasker devised an ingenious method of torture, which was practised every morning. It was this.
