His manners, though elegant, seem to me flippant and audacious.

He introduced himself into my domestic sanctum; and, as I partook of his father's hospitality years ago, I find it difficult to eject him.

He came here a few months since, to transact some business connected with the settlement of his father's estate, and, unfortunately, he heard Rosabella singing as he rode past my house.

He made inquiries concerning the occupants; and, from what I have heard, I conjecture that he has learned more of my private history than I wished to have him know.

He called without asking my permission, and told my girls that his father was my friend, and that he had consequently taken the liberty to call with some new music, which he was very desirous of hearing them sing.
