Yes it must be confessed, however unsentimental, they almost all steal.
Not unsentimental either for my part I could never care for mere coarse, commonplace, venal wretches. Indeed, when I spoke to her just now about my wishing to make my wife a lady, upon my word, at the time, I almost think I was just then quite in earnest.
She is not at all of an unsentimental nature only fractious new-womanish, perhaps; but none the less lovable, and Cupid will have a shot at her when she least expects it; and when it does come, I'll be on hand to report the attempted assassination for the delectation of the Herring, Beemer, & Chadwick public." "I should think you would try a little persuasion, just for larks," I suggested.

Lutz von Walden and his two friends a young baron, rather the typical "German student" in appearance, though in reality as hearty and unsentimental as any John Bull of his age and rank and George Norman, an English boy of seventeen or eighteen, "getting up" German for an army examination were all three only too ready to carry my little boy on their backs on any sign of over-fatigue.
You are merely my Oedipus, the vade mecum of my unsentimental journey." But he didn't laugh. "I'll warrant you De Folligny doesn't think that," he said. "Well suppose he doesn't. Are you and I responsible for the unpleasant cast of other people's thoughts? My conscience is clear. So is yours. You know how unsentimental our journey is. So do I. Why, Philidor, can't you see?
If one leaps over the most interesting events entirely, one is in danger, indeed, of losing everything, at least of not filling many pages.” Likewise in the following account of a sentimental adventure, the satirical purpose is evident.
