"My Lord," he had said, cynically, "of a truth a man brave in the day can be turned into a quaking coward at night; you have but to present him a danger substantial enough to quicken his imagination. These Greeks have withstood you stoutly; try them now with your power a vision of darkness." "How, Prince?" "In view and hearing from the walls let the hordes kindle fires to-night.
She had long ago told herself that it was ridiculous to mind what Hamlet did, that he was not looking at her, and, in any case, he was only a dog and so on. But to-night she was tired, and had read so long that her head ached Hamlet was laughing at her, his eyes stared through his hair at her, cynically, superciliously, contemptuously. His lip curled and his beard bristled.
Cromwell, in his business of suppressing the great houses, embezzled quite cynically if we can fairly call that "embezzlement" which was probably countenanced by the King, to whom account was due.

Carpy laughed cynically: "Jim," he exclaimed with an affectionate string of abuse, "you're the biggest fool in all creation. It's all right."
