"This company of gentry will be widely scattered when it disperses home," she told us. "There is at least one man from over-seas." I thought of the Grignon and Tank families, who were probably on the road to Albany. Miss Chantry bespoke her brother's attention. "There he is." "Who?" the doctor inquired. "His highness," she incisively responded, "Prince Jerome Bonaparte."
We say that the subject of a picture is the spirit of natural fact. If Botticelli was a painter, that is what he must have looked for, and must have found, in every picture he painted. Where, then, was he to get his natural facts in the story of Judith? It is murder. Judith's deed was what the old Scots law incisively calls slauchter.
Susan lifted her head defiantly.

Then it was We're living in an apartment now!" he finished abruptly. "An apartment, mind you! One of those blankety blank blank blank apartments!" "Humph!" wailed the first voice again.
His face was ruddy, and his eye as clear as though he had arisen from twelve hours' sleep. Her own nod of are recognition did not seem to trouble him.

He refuses to take the oath of allegiance to the United States.
Speaking of Vautrin she says, "His look frightens me as if he put his hand on my dress;" and another epigram from the same book, "Woman's virtue is man's greatest invention." Find me anything in La Rochefoucauld that goes more incisively to the truth of things. One more; here I can give the exact words: "La gloire est le soleil des morts."
"I am sorry if I told you so. I will not tell you so again." "But you will feel it." "If you are low and base and mean, of course, I shall feel it," said Elizabeth, incisively. "It rests with you to show me that you are not what you say." Percival found no word to answer. They were near Strathleckie by this time, and turned in at the gates without the exchange of another sentence.

"Sarcastic, aren't you?" "I have a right to be. Knowing what I know I should use more than sarcasm." "If I'm not mistaken, you have. The butler spoke of some threat." "Hardly a threat, Mr. Worthington." Houston was speaking coldly, incisively. "Merely what I have heard you often call in court a statement of fact. In case it wasn't repeated to you correctly, I'll bore you with it again.
But Leonidas was not spared any further allusion to the fair stranger; for the fact of her having spoken to him was duly reported at home, and at dinner his reticence was again sorely attacked.
