"If she thinks it she'll say it when she feels that way. I'm right surprised she don't kiss you, too." "I will," announced Norma promptly, with a pretty little tide of color. She turned toward him, and Yesler, laughing, met the red lips of the new friend he had made. "Now, you've got just grounds for shooting me," he said gaily, and instantly regretted his infelicitous remark.
There is, moreover, independent evidence to the fact that similar desecrations of this grave-yard had of late been very common; and that at least one previous attempt to check the operations of the "resurrection-men" had been attended with peculiarly infelicitous results. In the St.
Villeneuve, our infelicitous admiral, who had failed to carry out the precise orders of Napoleon at a time when the appearance of a combined fleet in the Channel could have secured a safe passage for the troops assembled at Boulogne, learning that he was about to be replaced by Admiral Rosily, passed suddenly from an excess of circumspection to an excess of audacity.
He seems to have strayed from the current vocabulary only in two other cases, both infelicitous "glode" for "glided," and "blosmy" for "blossomy." He did not, like Keats, look on fine phrases with the eye of a lover. His taste was the conventional taste of the time.
He seemed to find me so very stupid, that as a matter of fact I became stupid. And then, there was no answer not a word. Silence, alas! is not the reproof of kings alone. It does pretty well for everybody. I stumbled on two or three more phrases quite as flatly infelicitous, and he received them with the same faint smile and the same silence.
As to natural situation she may be said to be at once fortunate and infelicitous: the flatness of the land is not redeemed by fertility, the monotony of the panorama is not broken by mountains; the city rides as a raft upon the waters, so heavily freighted as to run the risk of sinking. And yet I know of no capital more imposing when taken from the strong points of view.
It was during an exciting political campaign, when party-feeling ran high, that the irascible Capt. McFadden of Sacramento visited Five Forks. During a heated discussion in the Prairie Rose Saloon, words passed between the captain and the Hon. Calhoun Bungstarter, ending in a challenge. The captain bore the infelicitous reputation of being a notorious duellist and a dead-shot.
Leavenworth, as if he had found the damning word. "Oh, I 'm in an infernal humor!" Roderick answered. "Pray, sir, is it my infelicitous allusion to Miss Light's marriage?" "It 's your infelicitous everything! I don't say that to offend you; I beg your pardon if it does. I say it by way of making our rupture complete, irretrievable!" Rowland had stood by in silence, but he now interfered.
"He's got a lot on his mind," said Wilbur, studying his brother respectfully. Merle's plenteous hair, like his cigarette holder, was longer than is commonly worn by his sex, and marked by a certain not infelicitous disorder. He had trouble with a luxuriant lock of it that persistently fell across his pale brow.
Later in the morning, Rand learned that Mornie's ill-fated connection with the Star Variety Troupe had been a source of anxiety to Mrs. Sol, and she had reproached herself for the girl's infelicitous debut. "But, Lord bless you, Mr. Rand!" said Sol, "it was all in the way of business. She came to us was fresh and new.
