| I never know, when I turn to this book, whether to be more shocked by the odiousness of Walter Fish or by the cunning artlessness of Margery's appeal for our sympathy over what she has been through. |
| As the course of time has stripped away the artlessness and cruelty of modernism, it still has a place among today's architectural styles. |
| A stranger to false modesty and phony self-deprecation, her ego seemed both colossal and, in its artlessness, endearing. |
| From the set to the characters' odd and affecting mannerisms, the whole enterprise suggested the kind of apparent simplicity and artlessness that only springs from hard work. |
| She chattered with the childish artlessness that at times veiled her sophistication. |
| But it takes devotion to get such artlessness right. |
