"The kind you wouldn't like to meet on a dark night." "I should have judged as much from your description," said Betty dryly. "There's one good thing about him we ought to be able to recognize him easily." "You talk as though you expected to meet him again," said Amy, looking at her curiously. "I do," answered Betty determinedly.
She turned to the man beside her and indicated Kit. The man glanced him over with the same amused contempt. "Chechako," the girl said. The man, who looked like a tramp in his cheap overalls and dilapidated woollen jacket, grinned dryly, and Kit felt withered, though he knew not why. But anyway she was an unusually pretty girl, he decided, as the two moved off.
Marshfield paused for a moment and sent his pale smile round upon his listeners, who now showed no signs of sleepiness; he knocked the ash from his cigar, twisted the latter round in his mouth, and added dryly: "And I confess it seemed to me a little strong even for a baron in the Carpathians. The travelers were our quarry.
Manning," said the lawyer, gravely, as he scanned the face of the widower keenly. Mr. Manning applied his handkerchief to his eyes, and seemed overcome by emotion. "I knew my dear wife's confidence in me," he said, in a tremulous voice, "but I was not prepared for such a striking manifestation of it." "Nor I," said Mr. Ferret, dryly. "Knowing her strong attachment to Frank," paused Mr.

"No," said Mr. Twist dryly.
"Glad of that. What is your text?" "The amazing consistency of the so-called temperance world," answered Theodore, dryly. It was this combination of circumstances that led him to take his seat one wintry morning in a Buffalo train, himself ticketed through to Albany.
Delamayn looked a little annoyed. She had entered, with all her heart, into the conspiracy for making a match between Geoffrey and Mrs. Glenarm. "I am not in the secrets of the lady and gentleman whom you mention," she replied, dryly. A heavy body is slow to acquire movement and slow to abandon movement, when once acquired.

"My friend, do not be cruel, do not be ungrateful. This is what I had to say to you. And I must repeat that I leave you with the sadness of a real friend." "Is that all? Go and say this to the other man.
"I beg that ye'll not heed the child," said she. "'Tis not that she is without morals but without knowledge. An innocent little fool; no worse." "'Tis bad enough, I vow," laughed an old beau, who sought fame as a man of a cynical turn of humor. "But fortunately rare," said Mr. Caryll dryly. "Like charity, almost unknown in this Babylon."
