"I am," he said, "inclined to feel sorry for the Canadian, but you will at least be civil to him." Miss Deringham made a little gesture of impatience. "You do not suppose I should be openly resentful?" she said. Her father still appeared ironically amused. "I do not know that it would be necessary, but I fancy the Canadian will have cause to regret he is an Alton," he said.
Lute, always a sort of social barometer, noticed the change in the weather. "Everybody's talkin' about you, Ros," he declared. "They cal'late you're a pretty smart feller. They don't just understand what you're up to, but they think you're pretty smart." "No?" I commented, ironically. "Lute, you astonish me. Why am I smart?" "Well, they don't know exactly, but they cal'late you must be.
Claire stopped suddenly. "Are we apt to get anywhere with this subject?" she asked ironically. "I don't know. I earnestly hope so." She looked at Philip thoughtfully. Perhaps the truth about her own weakness might cure him. "Suppose I allowed you to love me, and you found that you had won a woman whose passions were her whole life.
"Thank you," said Leroy ironically. "Oh, you know what I mean. Don't pull me up like that, Adrien. I wasn't thinking of its being you and you know what it is when a fellow's in love with the sweetest, dearest " Leroy turned sharply. It was more than any one could be expected to bear; insult to his father, blame to his horse, and now praise of the woman he himself loved.
Behind the structure that looked like a convent they came upon some shanties furnished with filthy, grimy mats: African huts built upon a framework of rough sticks and cane. Bizco went into one of these hovels and returned with a piece of cod in his hand. Manuel was overcome by a horrible fear. "I'm going," he said to Vidal. "What do you mean!..." exclaimed one of the gang ironically.

But he would tell the town what he thought it needed, coached, he ironically added when he spoke the expansive truth at home, by his mother and Jeff. They were ready to bring kindling to boil the pot, Mrs. Choate in her grand manner of beckoning the ancient virtues back, Jeff, as Alston told, him, hammer and tongs.
But I'll tell you what I'll do for you I'll meal you, ef that will help your case any. I'll meal you for two dollars a week, and throw in a good word with Johnnie." Buckheath received the conclusion of this speech with a grin. "I reckon your good word 'd have a lot to do with Johnnie Consadine," he said ironically, as he picked up his hat from the floor. "Uh-huh," nodded Pap.
Gerald Bishop cast an ironically amused glance across at Orde. The boy looked up at him quickly, the sullenness for a moment gone from his face. Carroll Bishop appeared quite unconscious of an atmosphere which seemed to Orde strained, but sank into her place at the table and unfolded her napkin. The silent butler drew forward a chair for Orde, and stood looking impassively in Mrs.
But he tried to persuade himself that it was wisdom. "So," he asked a little ironically, "there is no risk of your being seduced by an hour's pleasure?" "How foolish! When you know that it is only an hour, and that after it there is all eternity!" "You are quite certain of eternity?" "Of course." Christophe questioned him. He was thrilled with hope and desire.
