Appearances
They say the furnace has just gone out, when in truth they have had no fire in it all winter.
They apologised for the unusual barrenness of their table.
When they never live any better.
They decry their most luxurious entertainments to win a shower of approval.
They apologize for their appearance as though it were unusual, when always at home they looked just so.
They would make you believe that some nice sketch on the wall was the work of a master painter.
It was an heirloom, and once hung on the walls of a castle, and a duke gave it to their grandfather.
People who will lie about nothing else will lie about a picture.
On a small income we must make the world believe that we are affluent, and our life becomes a cheat, a counterfeit, and a sham.
Few persons are really natural.
When I say this, I do not mean to slur cultured manners.
It is right that we should have more admiration for the sculptured marble than for the unhewn block of the quarry.
From many circles in life fashion has driven out vivacity and enthusiasm.
A frozen dignity instead floats about the room, and iceberg grinds against iceberg.
You must not laugh outright as is vulgar.
You must smile.
You must not dash rapidly across the room.
You must glide.
There is a round of bows and grins and flatteries and o's and ahs and simperings.
and Nambi Pambiism, a world of which is not worth one good, round, honest peal of laughter.
