"Oh, she may go, too?" the pretty mamma asks. Floyd nods over his paper. Mrs. Grandon bridles her head loftily. "Denise has something for us, I know," cries Violet. "We were not there yesterday. Poor Denise, she must have missed us, but I did want to finish Maysie's dress." Maysie is Cecil's doll, and has had numerous accessions to her wardrobe of late.
Half of his roll collar flapped on his heaving chest; his stock hung down behind like a cue. I had seen him kneeling on the ground with his head pinned down by the hunchback. I said loftily: "What did you set him on a little beggar like that for? You were three to one. What did you expect?" The admiral swore.
"Lord Iberi," said Bosambo, loftily, "I bring no food, for that would have been shameful, and men would have said: 'Iberi is a mean man who starves the guests of his house. But only one half of my wise people shall sit in your huts, Iberi, and the other half will rest with T'lingi of the Akasava, and feed according to law.
Julian was greatly surprised at this deliverance of his friend, who uttered it in his coldly pure voice, looking serenely high-minded and even loftily intellectual. "You find the charm of sin in Piccadilly?" "I begin to find it everywhere, in every place in which human beings gather together." "You no longer feel yourself aloof from the average man, then?"
"Very well," crossly, "don't believe it then; only don't ask questions another time if you mean to turn round and sneer when a fellow tries to explain. I suppose you won't believe either that giants used to live here?" Anna laughed even more scornfully. "No, I will not," she said loftily. "I am not quite stupid enough to believe all the nonsense you would like to make me."
"Oh! he'll have plenty to do cleaning all those fish we caught this morning, and some other odd jobs I gave him," remarked Josh, carelessly. "Billy is inclined to be timid," Felix observed, loftily; "and it's a good thing, for him to be left alone once in a while. Nothing like making a scout feel he's just got to depend on himself for things."
I'd be ashamed to take him for nothing." "The lads of Lunda," answered he loftily, "don't make bargains with ladies. If you won't take my offer you're 'out of it, miss! Now, Sir Viking, let me tell you under what condition I will set you free. You shall give me your royal word on the faith of a Viking that you will give me your assistance in a deed of high emprise which I have vowed to perform."
Burning to box someone's ears, Meadows loftily gave the bag to one of them with instructions that it should be taken to his room, and then turned to rejoin his wife. As he crossed the gravel in front of the house, his mind ran through all possible hypotheses. But he was entirely without a clue except the clue of jealousy.
This from Serena, loftily and with rustlings. "But as Lady Samuelson was driving in this direction to-day, and offered to drop me here if I could find my own way back, I thought I had better come, as I knew it was your afternoon at home." "And I am sure for my part I am very pleased to have you come," Mrs. Lovegrove replied, leading the way towards the seat of honour upon the Chesterfield sofa.
There were by this time people in Gershom who had outlived the remembrance of the days when all the settlers, rich and poor alike, were socially on a level, and who spoke smoothly and loftily about "station" and "position" and "the working classes," but the young Holts were not among them.
