You make me want to puke using such silly words frivolously to reflect nothing. You talk abstractions of heart and love like such a sophist." "Gabriele, dear stupid Gabriele of such wasted intelligence, were you really so smashed by that tank which your parents drove off in? Has life really been so flat ever since?
"No, I'm going to dance with Captain Carteret!" replied Fanny frivolously, "and so can you if you like!" She was maddeningly pretty as she smiled down at him, with her bright hair roughened, and the afterglow of the dance alight in her eyes and cheeks. Nevertheless, for one whirling moment, the old Adam, an Adam blissfully unaware of the existence of Eve, asserted himself in Rupert.

"I think a company of gentlemen with their hats off look very queer, don't you?" she asked, after another interval. "Well, really," said Colville, laughing, "I don't know that the spectacle ever suggested any metaphysical speculations to me.
"She wanted another chance. Few get it." "Very well, son, if you think you can afford to endow a home for the frivolously erring! And the chances are she'll turn on you and scratch." "Yes the chances favour that." "She won't understand it; that sort never understands decency in a man." "Do you think it might damage my reputation to be misunderstood?" sneered Malcourt.
