A gleam of sunshine strayed over the countenance, and the editor answered, very benignly: "If the article meets with our approbation, we shall be very happy to afford you a medium of publication in our journal. Can we depend on your punctuality?" "I think so. What are your terms?" "Terms, madam? I supposed that your contribution was gratuitous," said he very loftily.
I could manage to visit you often. You would find me as affectionate as ever; and I will provide amply for you." "Provide for me?" she repeated slowly, looking him calmly and loftily in the face. "What have you ever seen in me, Mr. Fitzgerald, that has led you to suppose I would consent to sell myself?"
Birotteau became Molineux, a being at whom he had once laughed so loftily.
Knowing that she was observed by myriad eyes, Amarilly stepped loftily from the brougham and made a sweeping stage courtesy to her departing benefactress. "Are you on the stage now, Amarilly?" asked Co eagerly as she came to meet her sister.
The Duffer had not contributed much to the mural decoration, saying, loftily, that he preferred bare walls to rubbishy engravings and Japanese fans. The Duffer had got it cheap, but he never used it.

"I don't remember how you looked when you first came here," replied Miss Grady loftily. "Can you beat that?" cried Charlie to Courtney across the table.
Marvell, indeed, had been loftily careless of such questions; but his grandfather, on the announcement of the engagement, had called on Mr. Spragg and put before him, with polished precision, the young man's financial situation. Mr. Spragg, at the moment, had been inclined to deal with his visitor in a spirit of indulgent irony.

Bonnet laughed loftily.
