What astonishes me most is that a woman should be so unwomanly as to fight for a man in such a way as that. It is the sort of thing that men used to do. 'You must give up your claim to that lady, or else you must fight me. Now she comes forward and says that she will fight you." "But, papa, I have no claim." "Nor probably has she?" "No; I'm sure she has not. But what does that matter?
I rode among the musterers as gamely as any of the big sunburnt bushmen. My mother remonstrated, opined I would be a great unwomanly tomboy. My father poohed the idea. "Let her alone, Lucy," he said, "let her alone. The rubbishing conventionalities which are the curse of her sex will bother her soon enough. Let her alone!"
Nor were all these harsh and ill-judging critics women which would have been an intelligible thing enough. It is gratifying to discourage vanity in woman, to set down as unwomanly the girl who has gathered all the men around her. It is soothing to mortified feeling to say that the successful girl simply 'went for' the men, and compelled them to pay attention to her.
"I hardly can say how long, papa I think I think it must have been a a long time at least, on my side. Oh! I have been so false so false to myself, and so unwomanly! I have courted him, papa I, papa think of it! I've thrown myself in his way, and and made him interested in me; and talked to him about things that no one but his mother, or you, should have done. Poor fellow!
"I owed you something, Captain Prescott, and I have tried to repay a little," she said. "You owe me nothing; the debt is all mine." "Captain Prescott, I hope you do not think I have been unwomanly," she said. "Unwomanly? Why should I think it?" "Because I went to Richmond alone, though I did so really because I had nowhere else to go.
"Away, proud woman!" said the Lady; "who ever knew so well as thou to deal the deepest wounds under the pretence of kindness and courtesy? Who, since the great traitor, could ever so betray with a kiss?" "Lady Douglas of Lochleven," said the Queen, "in this moment thou canst not offend me no, not even by thy coarse and unwomanly language, held to me in the presence of menials and armed retainers.
For him to see you now would probably mean his death. You remember how bitterly he resented the sale of Waroona Downs to you your presence now would only irritate him and then " he shrugged his shoulders. "My presence? And what of the presence of the woman whose husband " "You must not say that," Gale exclaimed quickly. "It is unjust unwomanly " The grey eyes flashed like steel.
She must be young, fair, gentle, pure, tender of heart, noble in soul, with a kind of shy, sweet grace; frank, yet not outspoken; free from all affectation, yet with nothing unwomanly; a mixture of child and woman. If I love an ideal, it is something like that." "And she must be fair, like all the ladies Arleigh, with eyes like the hyacinth, and hair tinged with gold, I suppose, Norman?"
College life, designed as it is to strengthen a girl's intellect and character, should teach her to understand better, and not worse, herself as distinguished from other beings of her own sex or the opposite, should fortify her individuality, her power of resisting, and her determination to resist, the contagion of the unwomanly.
They get fairly wore out a tryin' to express what they feel in thier souls to a gain-sayin' world, and have that world yell out at 'em, "Unwomanly! unwomanly!" I say, Cicely wuzn't unwomanly. I say, that, from the very depths of her lovin' little soul, she wus pure womanly, affectionate, earnest, tender-hearted, good; and, if anybody tells me she wuzn't, I'll know the reason why.
