"He was down there with me yesterday, and it just occurred to me that he might have gone there again." "What! All in the dark?" "He'd lighted a candle, if you please! I'd left a candle-stick and a box of matches handy because I hadn't finished that shelving." "Well!" Constance murmured. "I can't think how ever he dared go there all alone!" "Can't you?" said Mr. Povey, cynically. "I can.
"Not a bit," said Angel cynically, "she knows they'll spoil our appetite for tea." The grocer was a fierce, red-bearded man who kept his wife in a little wooden stall, where she took in the constant flow of wealth extorted from his customers.
The deliberate treachery of the scheme was cynically enlarged upon, and its possible results mathematically calculated: Philip was to proceed with the invasion while Alexander was going on with the negotiation. If, meanwhile, they could receive back Holland and Zeeland from the hands of England, that would be an immense success.
And there are men listening to me now in every one of these three conditions not caring to be righteous, not understanding what it is to be righteous, and cynically disbelieving that it is possible to be so. My brother, here comes the message to you first, Thou art sinful; second, God's righteousness lies at thy side to take and wear if thou wilt.
"Oh, will you? How lovely!" "We'll go directly after lunch," Forrester said, and looked at Peg. "Will you come, Miss Fraser?" Peg shrugged her shoulders. "You don't want me," she said. "Two's company, and three's a crowd. I've got a story to finish, too." "Another novelette?" Forrester asked, cynically.
The poor bridegroom was being held back by his friends; a handsome young man in knee-breeches and a cocked hat watched the proceedings cynically in the right-hand corner, whilst on the left a big fat man frantically endeavoured to recover his wig, that had been lost in the melee.
Yes, it was there, almost cynically hung in a corner; for this incident, though no doubt a burning question in the fifteenth century, was now but staple for an ironical little tale, in view of the fact that descendants of John's 'own' brother Edmund were undoubtedly to be found among the cottagers of a parish not far distant.
"The loans have been many, and Kaid has given a lien by the new canal at Suez. The Jews will be angry," he repeated, "and for every drop of Christian blood shed there would be a lanced vein here. But that would not bring back Nahoum Pasha," he continued cynically. "Well, this is thy story, Mizraim; this is what they would do. Now what hast thou done to stop their doing?" "Am I not a Muslim?
Say, there ain't any doubt in your minds that it's him, is there?" Von Koenitz looked cynically round the room. "There is not!" exclaimed Rostoloff and Liban in the same breath. The German laughed. "Speak for yourselves, Excellencies," he sneered. His tone nettled the wireless representative of the sovereign American people.
"But that requires time and training. And that means money. I have to earn it." The upshot of that conversation was an appointment to meet the manager of a photoplay house, who wanted a singer. Stella looked at her watch now, and rose to go. Money, always money, if one wanted to get anywhere, she reflected cynically. No wonder men struggled desperately for that token of power.
