I'm going for a stroll." "May I join " "You may not! I shall go so far that you cannot possibly discover me."
"Poh!" snorted Hap Smith disdainfully. "Her hang out in that little town of Hill's Corners? Seein' as she ain't ever been there, havin' tol' me so on the stage less'n two hours ago, what's the sense of sayin' a fool thing like that? She ain't the kind as dwells in the likes of that nest of polecats an' sidewinders. Poh!" "Poh, is it?" jeered old man Adams tremulously.

With perfect coolness, Rodin replied: "I do not exactly see, sir, first, what courage is shown by threatening a poor old man like myself, and, secondly "

Christian's lips curled disdainfully as he answered: "It does not concern you; one does not kill women." "They need it not to die," replied Clemence, who gazed at her husband with wild, haggard eyes. "Then you are going to fight?" she added, after a moment's pause.
In order to perpetuate this event, Santa Barbara was depicted on the canvas as a lady dressed in a full skirt and slashed sleeves, and at her feet was the basilisa in the dress of a Valencian peasant arrayed in great jewels. In vain Don Esteban affirmed that this picture had been painted centuries after the death of the Empress. The child's imagination vaulted disdainfully over such difficulties.
