"Let me tell you, Hugh Warrington, that if Sibyl likes anybody, it is Mr. Leslie," returned Bessie emphatically. "When did you discover that, Brownie?" "I have always suspected it, but to-night I saw it plainly," replied Bessie. "To-night! Why, she was with Marr all the time!" "Men are as blind as bats," said Bessie scornfully; "good-night."
"Better than anything else in the world." Allen became really serious. "If that's the case," he said, emphatically, "I'm going to become a man of affairs, just to give you that pleasure." Alice clapped her hands with delight. "What are you going to do?" she asked. He turned so blank a face to the expectant one he saw before him that the seriousness could no longer be preserved.
"Why are you stopping?" she asked in sudden alarm. "So we can talk without a piece of impertinent machinery roaring interruptions at us," replied Dick with forced lightness. And then in a voice he could not make light: "I want to talk to you about about my sister. Isn't she splendid?" "She is!" There was no wavering of her thoughts as Maggie emphatically said this. "I'm mighty glad you like her.
I did not propose to exercise that right, and I said so, emphatically. And yet, before that week was ended, I did do what amounted to that very thing. The reason which led to this rash act on my part was a talk I had with Lady Kent Carey. I met her ladyship on the putting green of the ninth hole of the golf course. I was playing a round alone.
It is likely that his own strong feeling of attraction toward the girl whom he had saved from death, who now appeared before him as a radiantly beautiful young woman, was more persuasive than the excellent ideas which she presented so emphatically, and with a logic so impressive.
"I have not quite satisfied myself that it is best to give up my daughter to a printer," she added. "How so?" inquired Benjamin with some anxiety. "Because there are already several printing houses in the country, and I doubt whether another can be supported." "If I can not support her by the printing business, then I will do it by some other," responded Benjamin, emphatically.
Her voice went pealing to the domed ceiling as sweet as a silver bell, resonant as a trumpet. When the last note died away, there was a momentary silence. Then the accompanist looked up at her, frankly admiring. "You're some warbler," he said emphatically, "believe me." Behind him the manager's cigar lost its glow. He remained silent.
If she was, she did not answer to his knocking and bell ringing. He went to the depot. No one he questioned had seen Shan Tung at the west-bound train, the only train that had gone out that morning, and the agent emphatically disclaimed selling him a ticket. Therefore he had not gone far. Suspicion leaped red in Keith's brain.
"Toulan is a jolly good fellow," cried Simon, striking the table with his fists in an ecstasy of delight. "But I declare it seems to me that the ball is a good deal larger now than it was before." "It may be," answered Toulan, emphatically. "Every thing grows and enlarges itself, that a true and genuine sans-culottes carries next to his heart." "Well said," replied Lepitre.
All of them heard every word that was spoken by Eric and his party as the walls between the rooms were very thin; and very objectionable much of the conversation was. "This won't do," said Duncan emphatically, after a louder burst of merriment than usual; "those fellows are getting drunk; I can tell it to a certainty from the confused and random way in which some of them are talking."
