Anne Ashton looked at her, really doubting it. No, she was only vulgar-minded, and selfish, and utterly impervious to all sense of shame in her scheming. Instinctively Anne moved a pace further off. "I do not think Lord Hartledon is appropriated yet," spoke Anne, in a little spirit of mischievous retaliation.
It was because of Bunting Bunting, who could think and talk of nothing else than those frightful murders, in which only morbid and vulgar-minded people took any interest. Why, even now, in her dream, she could hear her husband speaking to her about it: "Ellen" so she heard Bunting murmur in her ear "Ellen, my dear, I'm just going to get up to get a paper. It's after seven o'clock."
She was swarthy, with red lips and fine eyes; she was dressed in showy but cheap evening finery. "Common and vulgar-minded," was Mavis's mental comment as she looked at this person. "Are you the new girl?" the stranger asked. "Yes." "I took you for Bella, the slavey. Sorry! Pleased to meet you." "Thank you." "Have you just come in from outside?" "Yes."

I am from off the sea, where none but coarse and vulgar-minded men have long been my associates; and thy presence is a balm to a bruised and wounded spirit." Interested, if possible, more by the touching and melancholy tones of the speaker, than by his extraordinary language, Alida hesitated.
The vulgar-minded, who make the majority of every class in every country, thought that Preacher Joe would make trouble, and looked forward hopefully to a row. For at least a month after the announcement every drawing-room and public-house in South Sussex was rife with malicious and sometimes amusing stories. The authors of them were doomed to disappointment. Not only was Mr.
Berkeley: if people don't believe in distinctions of birth, why on earth should they suppose that Lady Mary, or Lady Betty, or Lady Winifred, must necessarily be more banale and vulgar-minded, and common-place than plain Miss Jones, or Miss Brown, or Miss Robinson? You admit that these other girls may possibly care for higher subjects: then why on earth shouldn't we, can you tell me?
The Marquis is one of those vulgar-minded men who do not look upon a woman as a friend, a companion, a frank, free associate, but as a piece of property or of furniture, useful to his house, and which he has procured for that purpose only.
