Without sharing in any degree that confusion which Belinda felt for her, she strode out of the room, saying, "Miss Portman, you understand these things better than I do; come and set me to rights." When she was in Belinda's room, she threw herself into an arm-chair, and laughed immoderately. "How I have trimmed Percival this morning!" said she.

He laughed so immoderately at something that was said at lunch by one of his elders, that when his father inquired what the joke was, he was unable to answer. "It must be something very funny," said his mother in explanation. "Arthur never laughs unless there is a joke."

It depends on whose house you get into, you know." Flossy's sober face cleared in an instant. "So it does," she said. "Marion, I have a nice plan, but I shall not tell you a bit about it to-night. Good-bye." "Oh, the dear blessed little goosie!" Marion said, laughing immoderately as the door closed after Flossy. "Now, I know as well as if she told me, that she is going to beguile Mr.

"You remembered the car and its number. That is something and perhaps a great deal," he added gravely. "As for the talc mask and the black moustache, that is not much to help us, it is true." He looked at Ricardo's crestfallen face and smiled. "We might arrest our good friend M. Ricardo upon that evidence, but no one else that I know." Hanaud laughed immoderately at his joke.

She don't like me and I don't like her, there! and the indignant little girl began to cry. Tom laughed immoderately, and, passing his arm around her as they went down the stairs, he said: 'Of course you don't like her. Who ever did like her mother-in-law? But you are marrying me, not my mother, so don't cry, petite.

His equal, and professed antagonist C. Fimbria was not able to maintain his character so long; and though he always spoke with a strong and elevated voice, and poured forth a rapid torrent of well-chosen expressions, he was so immoderately vehement that you might justly be surprised that the people should have been so absent and inattentive as to admit a madman, like him, into the lift of Orators.

Whereat the two Greek genii in the stern laughed immoderately; knowing, as they did, that the boy had not the slightest idea of what his father was talking about. "Boom!" they repeated, in derisive chorus.

With this view I bore up for it, and sent in two boats, manned and armed, to examine the watering place, who, confirming the report of the Indians at their return, I came to an anchor about one o'clock, in eleven fathom water, with a fine sandy bottom, the north point of the bay N. by E. and the south point S.E. The watering-place, which was in a small cove a little within the south point of the bay, bore S. by E. distant about a mile, many canoes came immediately off from the shore, and all traded very honestly for Otaheite cloth and glass bottles, of which they were immoderately fond.

She turned to the other women, but ignored the protesting Sadie. Lulu sprang from the arms of a man on whose shoulder she had been reclining. "Scared?" she cried. "Come right on. I'm game. Beasley's keen to give her a twistin' well, guess it's always up to us to oblige." And she laughed immoderately. Kit joined in. She cared nothing so long as she was with the majority.

Therefore Archias, Leontidas, and Philip, all rich men, and of oligarchical principles, and immoderately ambitious, urged Phoebidas the Spartan, as he was on his way past the city with a considerable force, to surprise the Cadmea, and, banishing the contrary faction, to establish an oligarchy, and by that means subject the city to the supremacy of the Spartans.
