"It might do to hold my tobacco." "Tobacco! You heathen! Why, that jar is to hold the ashes of your ancestors!" "Haven't any ancestors that had ashes as far as I know," said Dunk, imperturbably. "I can smoke enough cigar ashes to fill it, though." "Hopeless hopeless," murmured Ikey. "But look such a bargain, only seven dollars!" "Holy mackerel!" cried Andy. "Seven dollars for a tobacco jar!"
I was in bed at the time with well, I don't remember where I was breaking out at the time, but I was in bed. You may have noticed that I have what might be called a classic pallor, and a general resemblance to a corpse." Nancy shivered a little and Carol frowned, but Nevius continued imperturbably.

Now this man" and he tapped the "Chronicle" "knows an editor's business." "Which is more than you do," interpolated the goaded man. "'The frame for William Brown's new house is up. William may be trusted to finish as well as he has begun," read the idler, imperturbably. "'Miss Sophie Brown is visiting friends in Albany.
If there should be any disturbance in the streets, keep out of it; or, if you should be within here, close the shutters and put the lights out." "All right.

I seem to see him now, the brave old man, as he sat there on the rough stool, imperturbably smoking, and maintaining his own against the dissenting officers.

Many seasons had he cooked beneath a round-up tent, and never had he stocked the mess-wagon for a long trip and left canned corn off the list. It was good to his palate and it was easy to prepare, and no argument could wean him from imperturbably opening can after can, eating plentifully of it himself and throwing the rest to feed the gophers.
I forgot that he was my servant, and I caught his hand and pressed it. "You have saved my life at the risk of your own," I said; "I shall not forget it." But Banks had been too well trained to lose sight of his position. He merely tipped his hat again and said imperturbably: "Best get out of here, your honour. They'll be coming again directly."
