After several reflective puffs, the smoke of which insufficiently veiled his furtive appraisal of myself, he tried again: "They give O'Dowd a shade, last night." "Indeed? Who did?" "The sporting writers." "As a testimonial?" I inquired, adding that a shade, whether of the lamp or sun species seemed an unusual sort of gift. My interlocutor groaned.
He had his race's accuracy in the appraisal of values, and to be seen walking down the platform at the crowded afternoon hour in the company of Miss Lily Bart would have been money in his pocket, as he might himself have phrased it. He knew, of course, that there would be a large house-party at Bellomont, and the possibility of being taken for one of Mrs.
In such moments of illumination the father reflected uneasily that "the little beggar must have a beastly lonesome time of it"; then, surveying the little beggar's choice company of pets, gazing upon the dam he had built with his own busy hands, inspecting approvingly his prowess in the swimming-hole and with his fish-rods, even noting, in his conscientious appraisal of his heir's assets, the self-assertive quality of the freckles on his nose and the sunburn on the whole of his visage, this perfunctory American parent easily decided that nothing need be changed for another year or two.
How many of us, after due appraisal of ourselves, really choose our own parts in the mighty drama? first citizen or second, with our shrill voices for a moment above the crowd first citizen or second brief choristers, except for vanity, against a painted scene.

He favored Okada with a very deliberate nod and a sweeping, semi-military salute of farewell.
The profoundest and most meritorious truths of dynastic politics can on no provocation and by no sleight of hand be brought within the logic of that system of knowledge and appraisal of values by which the mechanistic technology proceeds.
She was singing in a thin, nasal, uncultivated voice. Evidently they were the Briskow "help," therefore Gray made his presence known and inquired for the master or mistress of the place. The elder woman turned, exposing a shrewd, benevolent face, and after a moment of appraisal said, "I'm Miz' Briskow." "Indeed!" The visitor smiled his best and announced the nature of his errand. "Lawsy me!" Mrs.
Whatever may be the material accidents that surround any given concrete grievance that comes up for appraisal and redress, in bringing the case into the arena for trial by combat it is the spiritual value of the offense that is played up and made the decisive ground of action, particularly in so far as appeal is made to the sensibilities of the common man, who will have to bear the cost of the adventure.
To Philip Dru, whose thought of and experience with women was almost nothing, so engrossed had he been in his studies, military and economic, Gloria seemed little more than a child. And yet her frank glance of appraisal when he had been introduced to her, and her easy though somewhat languid conversation on the affairs of the commencement, perplexed and slightly annoyed him.
Have the irreconcilables a soul audacious and less blunted than our domesticated ones? To put it mildly, is it ever safe to ignore them entirely in our thinking? We shall come, I think, to a different appraisal of agitations. Our present method is to discuss whether the proposals are right and feasible. We do this hastily and with prejudice.
