In my earliest days at college I heard a complete exposition of the first six books of Euclid, given in four lectures, with masterly ease and freedom, by Professor Henrici, who did not hesitate to employ methods of demonstration which, though they are perfectly legitimate and convincing, were rejected by the daintiness of the Greek.

"Bread and milk," he ordered of the trim maid, and he smiled to himself contentedly at the daintiness with which it was served.

She had a certain daintiness about her, too, in her way of dressingeven in the way she did her hairand in her walk, which made the women say with certain resentment, that Mrs. Paine would like to be "dressy.

He developed a greater daintiness in words than in anything else, but this summer formed an exception.

Little deft touches here and there added character and daintiness to any garment that she wore.
