I think myself that it is brutal to have brought such a child here and to have left her alone " "She is not alone," Delora interrupted stiffly. "She has a companion." "Who arrived yesterday," I continued. "She has spent some very bad days alone, I can promise you that." "I have telephoned," Delora said, "twice a day sometimes oftener." I laughed ironically.
"Is that not always so?" said the Theatin naively, removing further from the lamp his thin pointed face, like that of a mole. "Sinners are so forgetful beforehand, and scrupulous when it is too late." "Sinners?" replied Mazarin. "Do you use that word ironically, and to reproach me with all the genealogies I have allowed to be made on my account I the son of a fisherman, in fact?"
Horace thought another shilling or two would not ruin him, and nodded. "A guinea. For the last time. You'll lose it, sir," said the auctioneer to the little man. "Go on, Tommy. Don't you be beat. Spring another bob on it, Tommy," his friends advised him ironically; but Tommy shook his head, with the air of a man who knows when to draw the line. "One guinea and that's not half its value!
"Very curious very interesting," he said ironically, as French paused, "and has lost nothing in the telling." "Ah, but wait till you hear the end!" cried Helena. "Now, it's my turn." And she completed the tale, holding up the bag at the close of it, so that the tarnished gold of its embroidery caught the light. Buntingford took it from her, and turned it over.
In answer, he bowed and greeted me with cold ceremoniousness. "I have been in Blois since yesterday, Monsieur." "In truth I might have guessed it, Vicomte. Your visit flatters me, for, of course, I take it, you are come to pay me your respects," I said ironically. "A glass of wine, Vicomte?" "A thousand thanks, Monsieur no," he answered coldly in his mincing tones.
“You are perhaps a Mason yourself!” broke suddenly from Alyosha. “You don’t believe in God,” he added, speaking this time very sorrowfully. He fancied besides that his brother was looking at him ironically. “How does your poem end?” he asked, suddenly looking down. “Or was it the end?” “I meant to end it like this.

When the chaperon had fixed the situation thoroughly, she stalked erect into the room, and said, very expressively, "I am afraid I disturb you." Zoe, from crimson, blushed scarlet, and hung her head; but Fanny was ready. "La! aunt," said she, ironically, and with pertness infinite, "you know you are always welcome. Where ever have you been all this time? We were afraid we had lost you."
It was as if she had forgotten his existence, or merciful Powers! What was worse as if she took this way of showing him his place. Of course, that being her attitude, he glumly found his place which turned out rather ironically to be under the eye of a police officer and made up his mind that he would stay there.
"And you have no other work to offer a musician like myself?" "A musician like you?" said Hecht ironically and cuttingly. "Other musicians at least as good as yourself have not thought the work beneath their dignity. There are men whose names I could give you, men who are now very well known in Paris, have been very grateful to me for it." "Then they must have been swine!" bellowed Christophe.
