And while she worried away her surface attention was caught by the glance of candid humor exchanged between Mr. Blair and his wife. "Ah, Jane, Jane," he was saying, in mock deprecation, "is that why we are spending the summer at Wilderness, not two miles from the Martin place ?" Mrs. Blair was smiling, but her eyes were serious.
Douglass!" said Philetus, in a comical tone of deprecation. "It is an uncommonly fine lot of sugar trees," said the doctor; "and they stand so on the ground as to give great felicities to the oxen."
With his pale face, his sad, languid air, and his bowed shoulders, it was as though he were crushed down under the weight of his own gold. There was a mute apology, an attitude of deprecation in his manner and speech, which was strangely at variance with the immense power which he wielded. To Robert the whole whimsical incident had been intensely interesting and amusing.
As seen from the point of view of the individual consumer, the question of wastefulness does not arise within the scope of economic theory proper. The use of the word "waste" as a technical term, therefore, implies no deprecation of the motives or of the ends sought by the consumer under this canon of conspicuous waste.
"Sassoon," said he, "is slippery." "You'd better let us go along and see you do it," suggested de Spain, who with the business in hand grew thoughtful.

Don't let us make it a posse for Sassoon."

Casting himself down upon the bearskin, he lay there breathing hard and tearing the fur out in great handfuls. Brass Borgar spoke with the utmost deprecation: "I say nothing against your feelings, chief; and there are not a few who think as you do; yet I ask you to remember one thing. I ask you to remember that no Dane has ever held back in battle because he had the Traitor's help.
Oh, my!" and she turned her face up to his with half-laughing deprecation "I'm afraid I'm deteriorating too. I can't hear you praise any one now without feeling horribly jealous. Yes, he must be good. But don't be too grateful to him, or I must be going now, and, oh! what a long time it'll be until to-morrow! I shall have grown old before to-morrow." "Sweetheart!

She laughed, a mirthless deprecation of his timidity, and coolly put herself at his disposal in another sentence: "I've sense enough to form an idea of what you'll propose; and I'd scarcely want others to hear it would I?"
