But it is in the music-hall, as I have said, that I am most impressed with the youthfulness of man. How delighted we are when the long man in the little boy's hat, having asked his short brother a riddle, and before he can find time to answer it, hits him over the stomach with an umbrella! How we clap our hands and shout with glee!
As for his marriage with Roxana, whose youthfulness and beauty had charmed him at a drinking entertainment, where he first happened to see her, taking part in a dance, it was, indeed, a love affair, yet it seemed at the same time to be conducive to the object he had in hand.
Antonio Gallenga, then a man of seventy, who nevertheless gave one an impression of youthfulness, had a most eventful life behind him.
And if by any chance she took him, he would never show her that he remembered that she had one. After writing to Gratian he had spent the week before his holiday began, in an attempt to renew the youthfulness of his appearance, which made him feel older, leaner, bonier and browner than ever.
I demanded, secretly flattered in the extremity of my youthfulness because she had called me supercilious. "Well, rather. I'm going to Paris and in this weather!" "I am, too." "Then, let's go together, eh?" "Delighted. But why have you chosen such a night?" "I haven't chosen it. You see, I open to-morrow at the Casino de Paris for fourteen nights, and I suppose I've got to be there.
Besides, I doubt my youthfulness very much." "You are fifty, I presume?" suggested Mr. Waters, in a leading way. "Not very near only too near," laughed Colville. "I'm forty-one." "You are younger than I supposed. But I remember now that at your age I had the same feeling which you intimate.
He advanced alone, and his heavy gait and dragging step gave him the appearance of a man sixty years of age, while in other ways he retained a certain youthfulness. It was Saniel, twenty years older.
Mr. Calcott had, for the first time in his life, been over-ridden by an unscrupulous use of his neighbour's rank; and of the youthfulness that inspired hopes of fixing a claim on an untried, inexperienced man. The old Squire was severely hurt and mortified; but he was very magnanimous generously wished James joy, and congratulated Mrs. Frost with all his heart.
Strange, bewildering transition from those pale images of sorrow and death to this bright youthfulness, as of a sun-god who knew nothing of night! What thought could reconcile that worn anguish in her brother's face that straining after something invisible with this satisfied strength and beauty, and make it intelligible that they belonged to the same world?
I believe we were all too happy, he presently added, with a sigh, which was re-echoed by his father, at the same time trying to say something about youthfulness, to which Louis, who had been leaning thoughtfully on the mantelpiece, presently answered 'How much wiser old people are than young! An original axiom, is not it? but it is the last which one learns!
