All I wrote I squeezed out of myself by sheer hard work. Why, in those days I was never able to do more than six-fifty words an hour, and what's more, I often didn't sell what I wrote." He sighed. "We artists," he said parenthetically, "we intellectuals aren't much appreciated here in England."
"Well," replied Graciella judicially, "don't have them so old that they can't talk or hear, and must be fed with a spoon. If there were too many old, or not enough young people, I shouldn't enjoy myself." "I suppose I seem awfully old to you," said the colonel, parenthetically.

This heroic resolution was knocked on the head the next morning by father's announcing that I was not summoned for the opening of the court, and he added parenthetically Lord knew when! but might be called for any time that afternoon, so I was to hold myself in readiness.
If they were bandits they could scarcely be out banditting, for the two horsemen were talking in ordinary, conversational tones as they rode leisurely down to the ford. When they passed Lorraine, the horse nearest her shied against the other and was sworn at parenthetically for a fool.
