"Wanta go to a party?" demanded Perry sternly. "I gotta work," answered the taxi driver lugubriously. "I gotta keep my job." "It's a very good party." "'S a very good job." "Come on!" urged Perry. "Be a good fella. See it's pretty!" He held the camel up and the taxi driver looked at it cynically. "Huh!" Perry searched feverishly among the folds of the cloth.
There were many chances of what he cynically called "artistic graft," editing, articles, and illustration. One had merely to put out a hand and strip the fat branches of the laden tree. It was killing to creative work, but it was much easier than sordid discussion of budget with one's wife. For the American husband is ashamed to confess poverty to the wife of his bosom.
The young man smiled, a little cynically. "Do you think I fear death I crave it!" His arms fell at his sides. His companion looked at him intently. "What is your plan?" he asked shortly. "Giorgione " The voice was tense. "He shall pay to the uttermost!" "For that?" Titian made a motion toward the gloved hand. The young man raised it with a scornful gesture.
Meeting upon his road a person who is evidently suffering and has need of aid, if he does not recognize in him, or her, one of his own tribe he will pass on with indifference and grumble out cynically: "All the worse for them". But if the same person were to make an appeal to his charity on the threshold of his rude home, he or she would receive hospitality without being known, and in the event of an accident or any other misfortune which has occasioned grief or trouble to a kinsman, however distant, he will share in their affliction, and do all he can to relieve them in their distress.
And then he told me cynically that he had helped himself to the missing securities and to the jewels as well the event of Saturday night, he said, had just given him the chance he wanted, and in a few days he would be out of this country and in another, where his great talent as a chemist and an inventor would be valued and put to grand use.
We are not, in these kindly Christmas days, to cynically deny to unpromising careers all power of recovery. Temple was telling me the other day of this instance known to him: Honorius had an exceedingly dissolute son, who pursued his vicious courses almost unchecked by parental rein, until he seemed to think his iniquities the rather fostered than forbidden.
"Oh, Andy's relatives'll turn up now," said Just, cynically. "People he never heard of. I'll bet he won't know this woman till he's introduced." "Yes, he will. I've found her name on the list we sent announcements to," Celia said, dismally. "I didn't notice at the time, because there were ever so many friends of his, people in all parts of the world. 'Mrs. Randolph Peyton, that's it." "Hope Mr.
Her cloak was not buttoned; it flew in the air. The people who saw her stopped and looked at her, amazed. Herr Carovius and Jordan were sitting in the Paradise Café. “How things change, and how everything clears up and straightens out!” remarked Jordan. “Yes, the open graves are gaping again,” said Herr Carovius cynically.
Rodney watched the two a little cynically from the wall. Peter looked what he was a limping vagabond tramp, dust-smeared, bare-headed, very much part of the twilight road. In spite of his knapsack, he had the air of possessing nothing and smiling over the thought.
Betsy the maid was already up and at work, on her knees, scouring the steps, and cheerfully beginning her honest daily labor. Our street, from the little nook which I occupy in it, and whence I and a fellow-lodger and friend of mine cynically observe it, presents a strange motley scene. We are in a state of transition.
