He rose, indeed, but did not take his hat from the table, and stood smiling pleasantly while Orsino shook hands with Maria Consuelo. "Let me make you acquainted," she said with exasperating calmness, and she named the two men to each other. Ugo put out his hand quietly and Orsino was obliged to take it, which he did coldly enough.

She replied coldly, "I do not wish to listen to this, and you must not expect me to interfere." "But, miss, you will hear one word?" "I cannot. I am not interested in the marriage, and even if I were I could not compel Mr. Wildeve to do my bidding." "As the only lady on the heath I think you might," said Venn with subtle indirectness. "This is how the case stands. Mr.

"Why, he didn't say much. Hinted around that maybe Bard had walked off with the piebald hoss he was ridin'." "That's a lie." "Lady," said the other a little coldly, "you say that like you was a friend of Bard's." "Me? There ain't nobody around these parts man enough to say to my face that I'm a friend of that tenderfoot." "I'm glad of that. My name's Ralph Boardman." "I'm Sally Fortune."

"If a chap wants to work, a lot of blackguards come and wreck his furniture." "Look here, Thurston," said the captain coldly, "we've no wish to stay here longer than we can help. We've come simply to tell you this that after what's happened to-night the prefects are determined that to-morrow morning you send in your resignation to the doctor."

Fanny was sitting alone, reading by a table. She looked up in surprise as I stood in the doorway. A little coldly, I thought, she came forward to meet me, but her manner changed as she took my hand.

He was Harry Heathcote's equal in education, intelligence, and fortune, if not in birth which surely, in the Australian bush, need not count for much. He had assumed, when first meeting the squatter, that good-fellowship between them, on equal terms, would be acceptable to both; but his overtures had been coldly received.

She was as upright as he now, and her eyes also looked rigidly ahead. He saw the change without understanding it and wondered a little, without troubling to probe. "Your friends, Mr. and Mrs. Grenville," she said coldly, "would they care to see us if we called, or would they think it perhaps just vulgar curiosity?" "They would be delighted; visitors are a very rare treat to them."

Wilks, trying to speak coldly, but observing with some gratification the effect produced upon his neighbours by the appearance of this well-dressed acquaintance. "I wanted to ask your advice," said the unscrupulous Hardy, speaking in low tones.

His eager scoffing betrayed him, and every Sunday night, in spite of slaughtering criticism the boy took courage to talk of his poem. He had no criticism from Mrs. Richie. When he first began to call at the Stuffed Animal House she had been coldly impatient, then uneasy then snubbing. But nothing can be so obtuse as a boy; it never occurs to him that he is not wanted.

And she smiled wickedly in my direction. "I have some recollection of it," I answered coldly. "But I think that rumour exaggerates. When tongues wag, a little rivulet is often described as a mountain torrent." "You would not say so did you but know what I know," she informed me roguishly.
