How fervently he had wished but just now to be understood by her, and to be thought better of by her than by the rest! And this wish still possessed him. Nay, he was more strongly attracted than ever to this creature, worthy as she was of the highest in the land, and made doubly bewitching by her proud willfulness.
It could not anticipate that quibbles would be made by the defeated and lately suppliant parties, that captious objections would be interposed, that carping criticism would be indulged, that gross outrages would be perpetrated, that absurd conditions would be demanded, and that finally a postponement of the whole procedure would be hazarded, indeed its utter failure secured, by the lack of tact, by the willfulness, and by the apparent ignorance of the Southern men who were in control.
At what hour is he to come?" "By 3:30, at least," she said, pointedly. "Too early to be correct, you suspect?" "I think not. You may expect me before three. I am not a stickler for form." "We shall not serve tea until four o'clock," she said, coldly. "That's my hour for tea just my hour," he said, blithely. She could not repress the smile that his old willfulness brought to her lips and eyes.
The ministry of the day in England were well known not to be favorably inclined towards Pennsylvania because of the frequently reported willfulness of the Assembly, on which the recent disturbances had also been blamed.
She would not allow us to put so much as a bud in her hair, showing in this respect a willfulness we never expected; but as she was perfectly irresistible, we suffered her to have her way, and when she was dressed, sent her in to father, who had asked to see her. And now comes the strangest thing in the world. "You are very beautiful, little daughter," father said.
That willfulness of his had pleased Lady Sellingworth more than anything had pleased her for a very long time. It had even touched her. At first she had thought that perhaps it had been prompted by chivalry, by something charmingly old-fashioned, and delicately gentlemanly in Craven.
Here she was confronted with a possible prospect of that proverbial bed she might be making in her willfulness, and on which she must lie, in the photograph of a somewhat serious young man of refined features Reuben Waters stuck in her window-frame.
As a Church of England man, Smith is not well pleased with the occupation of New England by the Puritans, Brownists, and such "factious humorists" as settled at New Plymouth, although he acknowledges the wonderful patience with which, in their ignorance and willfulness, they have endured losses and extremities; but he hopes better things of the gentlemen who went in 1629 to supply Endicott at Salem, and were followed the next year by Winthrop.
"Edith! Edith! shall it be the first week of September?" She smiled and looked at him as she had done early this eventful morning, when she had said "Yes!" "As brain-fever threatens if I refuse, I suppose you must have your way. But talk of the willfulness of women after this!" "Then it shall be the first of September St Partridge Day?" "It shall be St. Partridge Day."
It is not necessarily a pleasure either to the reigning power or the heir presumptive when their separate affairs a touch of gout, say, in the one, and a touch of willfulness in the other happen to bring them to the same spot.
