"Sure thing," indifferently. "Nothing doing." Realizing the utter uselessness of argument, or of exhibiting my large bills, I reached inside my coat, unpinned, and held before him on the desk a bronze medal, fastened to a colored ribbon. "Well, is this good for the price?" I questioned. "There 's two of us." The round-faced cashier bent forward to look, his eyes widening with aroused interest.
Now it happened that I was walking one spring morning it was in May of that year '44 of which I am now writing on the upper of the three spacious terraces that formed the castle garden. It was but an indifferently tended place, and yet perhaps the more agreeable on that account, since Nature had been allowed to have her prodigal, luxuriant way.
After we carried him to his house, he made his escape thence in disguise, and has, as I believe, fled from Paris to join the Duke of Burgundy." The king shrugged his shoulders indifferently. "I wish the duke joy of him," he said. "He is more dangerous to my enemy when he is on my enemy's side. Where are the rascals of last night?" "The tavern rabble are in custody of Messire Noel."
She did not reply, but gathered together her bag and her gloves. She put on her coat. "When are you seeing Griffiths again?" "Tomorrow," she answered indifferently. "You'd better talk it over with him." She opened her bag mechanically and saw a piece of paper in it. She took it out. "Here's the bill for this dress," she said hesitatingly. "What of it?"
The animal slouched forward, his head hanging, the rims of his eyes blood red as he turned them up to his master. He was a powerful beast, black and tan, with a quaintly wrinkled, anxious countenance and long, pendent ears. "Strong," commented Dick, "but queer-looking. He'll have trouble keeping warm with that short coat." "He's wintered here already," replied Sam, indifferently. "Go lie down!"
Another woman's figure appeared in the avenue, with fair hair, her head uncovered and a white knitted shawl on her shoulders. She walked along the avenue, then came into the summer-house, and taking hold of the parapet, looked indifferently below and into the distance over the sea. As she came in she paid no attention to me, as though she did not notice me.
It answered for encouragement and applause and gentle reproof, and many other matters which words could but indifferently say, and it was one of her favourite ways of turning aside a question to which she did not think fit to give any reply. And Bice swallowed her pique and asked no more. The lamps were all shaded like the windows in this bower of beauty.
Have you seen them?" "Oh, yes; I've seen them. They seem to have been brought up on sterilized milk of the gospel, and to have Jordan water for blood." "Oh, don't be too sure. You can't tell from a man's looks how red his blood is, especially if he's a priest. I suppose it's the men that have to hold themselves in hardest that make the best ministers." "I dare say," he answered indifferently.
"They are all alike," said I, indifferently. "All dressed alike " "And I doubt not all acted alike." "I saw but one," I admitted, "the one with a red heart on her corsage." Kitty laughed a merry peal. "There were twelve red hearts," she said. "All there, and all offered to any who might take them. Silly, silly! Now, I wonder if indeed you did meet Ellen?
"I fancy so," answered Tom, indifferently, as if it were nothing to him to do whatever he chose to attempt. And in fact he could imitate almost anything and well, too the easier that he had nothing of his own pressing for utterance; for he had yet made no response to the first demand made on every man, the only demand for originality made on any man that he should order his own way aright.
