But when Christophe went nearer, and listened to the conversations between Rebecca and Faustina the Roman, or Saint Barbe the Venetian, he found her to be just a Parisian Jewess, just like the others, even more Parisian than the Parisian women, more artificial and sophisticated, talking quietly, and maliciously stripping the assembled company, body and soul, with her Madonna's eyes.
"Have you spoken to the captain about our affairs?" "Not a word." "Have you tried him by the signs?" "I have, and he made no sign," laughed Pelham, who was not much enamoured of the cabalistic clap-trap of the Chain. "Then, of course, he is not a member." "He must be; he voted," replied Pelham, maliciously. "How many more times will you say that?"
Two tiny, fiery eyes glimmered at the base of the antennæ two minute jewelled sparks of glowing, lambent fire. They seemed to be watching her, maliciously askance. The very horrid part of it was that, if touched, the creature would cry out. The girl knew this, hesitated, looked at the open window through which it must have crawled, and sat down on her bed to consider the situation.
All the same she was quite fond of him, so far as one could be of a sports-machine, and of the two little Cardigans made after his pattern. Her eyes just then were comparing him maliciously with Prosper Profond. There was no "small" sport or game which Monsieur Profond had not played at too, it seemed, from skittles to harpon-fishing, and worn out every one.
"And knowing that I am," said Constance in comic impatience, "you are maliciously prolonging my agonies. It is not what I expected of you, Mr. Carleton." "My dear," said her father, "Mr. Carleton, I am sure, will fulfil all reasonable expectations. What is the matter?"
Having arrived there with wet garments, he asked his host for the loan of a dry coat that he might walk out. The latter assured him, perhaps maliciously, that he had only a yellow one to spare, which he durst not offer him.
"Good-night," said the stranger, "and be careful, Sir Norman-remember, the plague is abroad." "And so are highwaymen!" called Sir Norman after him, a little maliciously; but a careless laugh from the stranger was the only reply as he galloped away. The by-path down which Sir Norman rode, led to an inn, "The Golden Crown," about a quarter of a mile from the ruin.
Sometimes, when she turned it so, the hole was nearly covered except that there was the frayed rent at the bottom still grinning maliciously up at the mender. "'Patch beside patch is neighborly, but patch upon patch is beggarly!" quoted Mrs. Jerry, at the moment forgetting that the girl could not understand.
This was done maliciously, to distract the Pope from works of sculpture; and because they thought it was certain, either, that by his not accepting such a commission, he would stir up the Pope’s anger against himself, or that by accepting it he would come out of it very much inferior to Raffaello da Urbino, whom they heaped with favours on account of their hatred for Michael Angelo, judging that his principal art was sculpture, as in truth it was.
Just listen to the roars with which the people greet them! Jesus Maria! I hope the generalissimo will not have his fits from excessive joy." Ludovica cast a quick, mournful glance on the maliciously smiling face of her husband. "Your majesty need not be alarmed," she said; "your tender apprehensions will fortunately not be fulfilled.
