Miss Armstrong looked surprised and a little bored. Evidently she was not used to having newly introduced young men inquiring about another girl. "Marian Lindsay? Oh, yes." "Is she here tonight?" I said. "No, Marian is not going to parties just now, owing to the recent death of her aunt, who lived with them." "Does she oh does she look like you at all?" I inquired idiotically.
"You don't know anything!" Fatuously the Younger Man rose to his feet, still struggling for speech any old speech a sentence, a word, a cough, anything, in fact, that would make a noise. "Well, if little Miss Edgarton is little Miss Edgarton," he babbled idiotically, "who in creation are you?" "Who am I?" stammered the Older Man perplexedly.
"Surely I must have been born wicked. My dear father was living then; and even the thought of his love did not comfort me. I felt myself abandoned and alone in the world. How idiotically fond I must have been of Rorie. Ever so many years have come and gone, and I have not cured myself of this folly. What is there in him that I should care for him?"

If I had thought you were such a rash idiotic little goose, I should never have breathed a word to you of this man and his scroll-work." "Oh! but, Hester," pled Rose, determined not to be offended, "I was only relieving the poor Misses Stone of a painful necessity.

"Call me Grizel, as you used to do." "May I?" replied Tommy, idiotically. He knew it was idiotic, but that mood now had grip of him. "But I mean to call you Mr. Sandys," she said decisively. So it was like him to say, with a sigh, "I had hoped to hear you use the old name." That sigh made her look at him sharply.
There was a laugh; Shelton glanced round at all in turn. With the exception of Crocker, who was half asleep and smiling idiotically, they wore, one and all, a look as if by no chance could they consider any subject fit to move their hearts; as if, one and all, they were so profoundly anchored on the sea of life that waves could only seem impertinent.
Why, there was a brown man with something unusual about his feet He talked nonsense and behaved idiotically in a Druid forest He was probably insane.
