She seemed to be incapable of wasting time or of waywardness. Her career at Newnham, Roger had told him, had been one of steady brilliance. "There wasn't a flicker in it," he had said to Henry. "Rachel's always well-trimmed!" There were no ragged edges about Rachel Wynne.
It shows the waywardness of our feelings that Margery had never reposed confidence in Pigeonswing, who was devotedly the friend of le Bourdon, and who remained with them for no other reason than a general wish to be of use.
I have seen a few such cases of what I may call the remorseless exercise of authority, and the result has not been pleasing. Fortunately, perhaps, not many women have the heart to adopt this attitude to the waywardness of little children a waywardness to which their whole nature compels them by their pressing need to cultivate tactile sensations, to experiment, and to explore.
Sometimes a fleeting thought of going home to see the mother whose heart must be almost broken by his waywardness and the young sister and brother who were carefully guarded from knowledge of the disgrace he had brought upon them would come to him.
I say that it is the ball struck by any club to which a big pull or slice is intentionally applied for the accomplishment of a specific purpose which could not be achieved in any other way, and nothing more exemplifies the curious waywardness of this game of ours than the fact that the stroke which is the confounding and torture of the beginner who does it constantly, he knows not how, but always to his detriment, should later on at times be the most coveted shot of all, and should then be the most difficult of accomplishment.
Had I been governed and guided by justice, I am sure that I should never have been unjust.

He must have hunted her from him all his life, with his pride, his waywardness, his fitful morose ambition. I soon read his character for I had read another very like it, once.
Love me not less that I am so that I sometimes show this waywardness to you that I sometimes do injustice to your love. Bear with me till the dark mood passes from my heart. I have these moods, or have had them, frequently. It may be I trust it will be that, blessed with your love, and secure in its possession, there will be no room in my heart for such ugly feelings. But I know not.
But the waywardness of a passion as tormenting, and yet as delightful as love, seldom leaves us just or reasonable. Lucy and I then talked of the approaching ceremony. Each of us was grave and sorrowful, but neither indulged in any outward signs of grief. We knew the last sad offices were to be performed, and had braced ourselves to the discharge of this melancholy duty.
