"Robert," she said, in a low, anxious tone, "do you think that that there can be anything in it?" "Have you lost your head, Naida?" the man laughed. "The age of miracles has passed." "But he is so sure," she whispered. "Poppycock!" said her companion contemptuously.
A small revolutionary party has, no doubt, conspired to obtain it. But the only sympathy they received was due to the fact that the legitimate demand of Ireland for a recognition of her national feeling and for the management of her own local affairs was contemptuously ignored by England.
If there was anything which people were certain about in the early part of the seventeenth century, it was that the mandrake only grew under a gallows, where the dead body of a man had fallen to pieces, and that when it was dug up it gave a great shriek, which was fatal to the nearest living thing. Gerard contemptuously rejects all these and other tales as "old wives' dreams."
Mean, malevolent as they were, they would still lack the brutishness necessary to shoot an old woman. So they had shut her up there in the rock hut, not daring to take her back to civilization where she would tell of the crime. It was all plain enough to Casey. The story of the crippled miner made him curl his lip contemptuously when his back was safely turned from Joe.
"He seems a good-natured, easy-going sort of person," said John by way of comment, and, truth to say, not very much interested. "Oh, yes," said David rather contemptuously, "you could drive him with a tow string. He don't know enough to run away.

"You are determined to give me my chance. Well, I will take it, and remember that you gave it to me. But, would you have me in any way weaken my purpose, mademoiselle?" She looked up with a flash of anger.
"Now, let us see!" cried Weissmann, and his voice rang triumphantly. "Now, spirits, to your work!" Clarke laughed contemptuously. "You scientists are very amusing. Your unbelief is heroic."
"Nobody'll ever touch her," said Seth contemptuously, "she's drowned two men." But Miss Leicester smiled, and said that it appeared to have been their own fault. They could see into the low ruined cabin from the deck of the Starlight, and, after they passed, the cabin port-hole seemed to watch them like an eye until it was far astern.
Then pick up these sticks and help me to build the fire," said the woman contemptuously. "Me! The Great Frogman pick up sticks?" he exclaimed in horror. "In the Yip Country where I am more honored and powerful than any King could be, people weep with joy when I ask them to feed me." "Then that's the place to go for your breakfast," declared the woman.
"No less degree of rage against me will match your previous grief for her." "Phew I shall not kill you," he said contemptuously, as if under a sudden change of purpose.
