"It has been a hard time for others, too," she responded. "Hard for uncle, hard for tante, hard for Twonette very hard for Twonette." She spoke jestingly, but one might easily see her emotion. "And you, Fräulein?" he asked smilingly. "I I dare not say how hard it has been for me, Little Max. Do you not see? I fear I fear I shall weep if I try to tell you. I am almost weeping now.
"Listen to her! look at her!" said her father, jestingly. "Elliot, if your renowned maid can fright the English as you have affrayed a good Scot, the battle is won and Orleans is delivered." But she had turned her back on us pettishly, and was talking in a low voice to her jackanapes.
"You drunk!" answered Commines jestingly. La Mothe had been on very dangerous ground and a change of subject was an unspeakable relief. "Why, except the King, no man in Valmy drinks less wine." "Wine-drunk? Am I a beast, Uncle, that you should say such a thing? No, not wine-drunk. Love-drunk, war-drunk, fighting-drunk.
"Yes; but that's a great deal," Honor retorted, "and we must try all we can to restore you before to-morrow. You were getting on so nicely. I wonder what can have made the difference." "Why, you'll quite spoil me," the gentle voice tried to say jestingly, but the eyes closed languidly and the head drooped helplessly back among the cushions.
"Oh, I know about the incident," replied Aileen, jestingly. "I know you." "What do you mean by that?" he asked, studying her face. "Oh, I know you," she replied, sweetly and yet defensively. "You think I'll stay here and be content while you run about with other women play the sweet and loving wife? Well, I won't. I know why you say this about Lynde.
Rose had picked up much useful knowledge, and knew some things unusual for a girl. Good Father Jamay would be shocked at Terence, Aristophanes, and Virgil for a girl.

To adopt Edward as his son, to leave him heir to his title and estate, was now, as it had been from the first moment he recognised his nephew, the dearest wish of his heart, "if it were only to fulfil Sir George Wilmot's prophecy," he jestingly told the old Admiral, who, with Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton, warmly seconded his wishes.
"Are the oats ripe?" she asks. "Yes, thank goodness!" "But not dry, I suppose?" "Eh? I can't hear what you say." "Oh, I didn't say anything." A long, uncomfortable silence after that.

"No," she answers.
The fighting mood was gone now, the walk having calmed him. He murmured a short apology for his clumsiness and started on, without even looking at the animated obstacle. "Just a moment, my studious friend." "Wallenstein? I didn't see you." Carmichael halted. "That was evident," replied the colonel jestingly. "Heavens!
And she had so deft a way of first thinking out what new things would be likely to go well together, and then mixing things that no one ever thought of mixing before, which yet turned into the most delightful dishfuls, that the sea-kings who dined with Sigurd jestingly declared that but one thing prevented some one's making war on him in hope of capturing Edith for himself, and that was the surety that if he won he then would have to fight all the others!
