But, be this as it may, the whole was conducted with a great deal of mysterious solemnity; and that there was a mixture of religion in the institution was evident, not only from the place where it was performed, but from the manner of performing it.Our dress and deportment had never been called in question upon any former occasion whatever....
I knew him well, and can only say his private was very much like his public life.I do not suppose there ever lived a man more natural in his deportment than Washington....
It was necessary that Sir Marmaduke should say something.There was at first a little scene between all the women, during which he arranged his deportment....
Neither Clarendon nor any other of the royalists ever justify him from insincerity, as not supposing that he had ever been accused of it.In the second place, his deportment and character in common life was free from that vice.He was reserved, distant, stately; cold in his address, plain in his discourse, inflexible in his principles; wide of the caressing, insinuating manners of his son, or the professing, talkative humor of his father....
Her veil was well thrown back, and her head was raised in the air.She knew these little tricks of deportment and could carry herself like a queen.He had taken a moment or two to consider....
They do not know how to retire gracefully.The art of leaving a world should be taught as a branch of deportment.An American philanthropist who died recently was in the habit of girding at the arrangements of the universe, which did not seem to him organised after the fashion of a bureau of beneficence....
What a lesson may the nominal Christian of a civilized country sometimes learn from the simple, sincere religion of a converted heathen!I afterwards made particular inquiry into this young man's domestic and general deportment.Everything I heard was satisfactory, nor could I entertain a doubt respecting the consistency of his conduct and character....
Never forget that the first book children read is their parents' example -- their daily deportment.If this is forgotten you may find, in the loss of your domestic peace, that while your children well know the right path, they follow the wrong....
After they were gone, some comments were made upon their different deportments.Scott spoke very respectfully of the good breeding and measured manners of the man of wealth, but with a kindlier feeling of the honest parson, and the homely but hearty enjoyment with which he relished every pleasantry....
A second time I had disregarded the benevolent wisdom with which she had vainly endeavoured to inspire me, had acted in open defiance of her peaceful morality, and had forfeited all claim to her esteem.I read my doom, not only in her words but in her whole deportment.While I stood drawing these painful conclusions, motionless, or active only in my fears, a messenger arrived whose coming gave a climax to my ill fortune....
Well, I want you to live to the utmost of your capacity, to make the very best of yourself and your life, to become the wonderful woman you may be if only you will.And this you can never do without a knowledge of grammar and deportment....
That ingenuous openness of disposition, that frank and affectionate demeanour, for which the Duke of St. James had been so remarkable in his early youth, and with the aid of which Lord Fitz-pompey had built so many Spanish castles, had quite disappeared.Nothing could be more artificial, more conventional, more studied, than his whole deportment.In vain Lord Fitz-pompey pumped; the empty bucket invariably reminded him of his lost labour....
It has been remarked somewhere, that a people's homes are the surest indications of the degree of civilization they have attained.It is certainly true, that deportment has much to do with the polish of language.The disposition, temperament, and morals of a people who have no written language go far toward giving their language its leading characteristics....
With Mountjoy Scarborough there had never come such a moment, and never could; yet he had been very confident, so that he had lived on the assurance that such a moment would come.And the self-deportment natural to her had been such that he had shown his assurance.He never would have succeeded; but he should not the less love her sincerely....
We must now request the reader to visit the noble mansion in the Strand, erected by Thomas Cecil, then Earl of Exeter, and bearing-his name; in a chamber of which Lord Roos and the Countess of Exeter will be found alone together -- alone for the last time.Very different was the deportment of the guilty pair towards each other from what it used to be.The glances they exchanged were no longer those of passionate love, but of undissembled hatred....
