"You can let her out," she said contemptuously. "I have had my turn. I leave her in possession." She turned to go to the stairs, then abruptly checked herself, stepped up to her father, put her hands on his shoulders and kissed him. The anger had gone out of her eyes. "Good-bye, Dad! Think of me sometimes!" she said.
Ney and Berthier, standing near Napoleon, exchanged looks and smiled contemptuously at this general's senseless offer. Napoleon bowed his head and remained silent a long time. "At eight hundred leagues from France, I will not have my Guard destroyed!" he said, and turning his horse rode back to Shevardino.
Her artificialities one by one were falling away from her like discarded garments. And yet I was not sure that it wasn't artifice that was discarding them. She was very clever. I might have guessed it, had I noticed earlier the volumes by Freud and Strindberg on the little ebony side table." Ballard paused a moment to light a fresh cigarette. "Bah!" I muttered contemptuously.
Hackberry began to whine and beg for mercy, but Shorty ordered him to keep silent. "I want you to understand," said the 'Squire, "that I'm a regerlarly elected and qualified Magistrate o' the State o' Tennessee; that I'm not subjeck to military laws, and if any harm comes to me you'll have to answer for it to the State o' Tennessee." "Blast the State o' Tennessee," said Shorty contemptuously.
Kafka said nothing, but his bloodshot eyes glared up angrily at the tall man's face. "He looks dangerous, and he still has that thing in his hand," said Keyork Arabian.

"What a coward you are, Keyork!" he added contemptuously.
"Mr. Heigham is dead," she answered, watching his face narrowly. "Dead, impossible!" "He died of enteric fever at Madeira. I have just been to break the news to Angela." "Oh, indeed, she will be pained; she was very fond of him, you know." Lady Bellamy smiled contemptuously. "Did you ever see any one put to the extremest torture? If you have, you can guess how your daughter was 'pained."
"That ain't no desert man," said Matt quietly. "How can you tell from here?" asked Bet. "You can always tell a desert man by his walk. That fellow looks as if he were used to walking on city streets," Matt returned. "And he hasn't even a burro," exclaimed Kit contemptuously. "Let's give him a lift and see what he's doing here so far from civilization."
"Keep at arm's length, then," said Henry, extending his brawny arm: "I will have no more close hugs no more bodkin work, like last night. I care little for a wasp's sting, yet I will not allow the insect to come near me if I have warning." Conachar smiled contemptuously. "I meant thee no harm," he said. "My father's son did thee but too much honour to spill such churl's blood.
Her eyes filled with tears burning tears of insult and impotence such tears she had wept for twenty years of her married life, but lately she had almost forgotten their acid, heart-corroding taste. The officer regarded her contemptuously. He scowled and remarked: "You bawl ahead of time, my lady! Look out, or you won't have tears left for the future!"
