Finally, as they rounded a curve and caught the full breath of the breeze, the veil blew away entirely. "Let it go," said Betty resignedly. "It's cost me six dollars to learn I don't want to wear a veil." Bob privately decided he liked her much better without the flimsy net affair, but he wisely determined not to air his opinion. There was no use, he told himself, in "rubbing it in."
Moreover, as old Saracinesca thought more seriously of the matter, he wisely concluded that it would be better not to speak of the visit; and when he entered the room where Giovanni was lying on his couch with a novel and a cigarette, he had determined to conceal the whole matter. "Well, Giovanni," he said, "we are the talk of the town, of course." "It was to be expected. Whom have you seen?"
"Come, come, cousin, change your mind. Constance, you will help me to bring this gentleman to reason?" "I would not attempt to influence him, even if I could," answered the young lady. "He has decided wisely. In your heart you know, Mary, that he is right; you yourself despise the miserable butterflies who hover round us with their sweet speeches, empty heads, and false hearts."
Leslie had wisely selected a town sufficiently remote from her own abode to preclude any revelations of her domestics; and, as Mrs. Butler, Alice attracted universal sympathy and respect from the exercise of her talents, the modest sweetness of her manners, the unblemished propriety of her conduct.

But I am led to this opinion in no degree by a feeling that Great Britain ought to grudge the cost of the soldiers.
Yet the next world may be nothing but a dream, and certainly we know nothing about it; while this world is a solid and often a solemn fact, with its business as well as its pleasures, its work as well as its enjoyments, its duties as well as its privileges. This is a sum which, if wisely devoted, would remedy the worst evils of human society in a single generation.

Vigorous hammering on Peter Mauger's door produced first his old housekeeper, and presently himself, heavy-eyed, dull-witted, and in flagrant dishabille, since Mrs. Guille had but a moment ago shaken him out of the sleep of those who drink not wisely over-night, with the information that a crazy woman wanted him at the door.
There's rather a strong prejudice here against labour meetings. So Weedon very wisely talks to the men when he can get them alone." "Why wisely? Why do you say that?" "Because we want to spread knowledge without rousing prejudice. Then there isn't so much to fight." "What kind of knowledge is Weedon Moore spreading? Tell me that." Her plain face glowed with the beauty of her aspiration.
