There now, I've made you blush, as I used to when you sat upon my knee, and I told you that little girls had no right to stars for eyes." Ida laughed. "But I'm a big girl now," she said, "and too old for compliments; besides, lawyers should always speak the truth." "For goodness sake! don't spread that theory, my dear, or we shall all have to put our shutters up," he retorted, with mock alarm.
"I'm not worth paying two million for, Clara." "You are, if she loves you." "She does and would marry me to-morrow if I would let her. The hesitation is on my part." "More fool you. If I were in her position I'd soon overcome your scruples." "I think not," said Lambert delicately. "Oh, I think so," she retorted. "A woman always gets her own way." "And sometimes wrecks continents to get it."
"I'm not not the Magda he knew any longer." "That's an absurd exaggeration. You're not looking very well, that's all," retorted Gillian with her usual practical common sense. "You can't suppose that would make any difference to Michael! It didn't make any to me. I'm only too glad to have you back at any price!"
"But no matter; I'm glad. When you get to writing, you know, nothing else matters. One line of your verse is worth all the suppers in the world." "Nonsense!" he retorted. "I'm a mere scribbler!" "We won't argue that point," she answered. "But at any rate, you're done, now. So come along, boy or the comrades will begin 'dividing up' without us; for this mountain air won't brook delay."
"But he thinks a hand none the worse because I've kissed it," retorted Monmouth. "You don't know how amiable a husband you're to have, Mistress Barbara." I was on my feet now, and, peering round the chair which hid me from them, I could see her standing against the wall, with Monmouth opposite to her. He offered to seize her hand, but she drew it away sharply.
Allen," I said. "I am not of the King's party now, and never shall be. And you know this better than another." "Those are strong words, Richard, my lad," said he, bringing his eyebrows together. "They are true words," I retorted. "Why did you lie, I say?" He said nothing for a while, but his breath came heavily.
Fulkerson, and we will go at once." "I suppose I could still get Watkins's former place," March suggested. "Never!" she retorted. "Telegraph instantly!" They were only afraid now that Fulkerson might have changed his mind, and they had a wretched day in which they heard nothing from him. It ended with his answering March's telegram in person.
You're making a new start to-day. Ain't that right?" "Yes, sir." "Call me Bucky." "Yes, sir. Bucky, I mean." A hand fell on the ranger's shoulder and a voice in his ear. "Young man, I want you." The lieutenant whirled like a streak of lightning, finger on trigger already. "I'll trouble you for yore warrant, seh," he retorted.
Peck, "because I'm goin' to show you somep'n' about Dave Beasley that'll open a good many folk's eyes when it's in print." "Well, what is it?" I asked, rather sharply. "Jest hold your horses a little bit," he retorted. "Grist and me knows, and so do Mr. Cullop and Mr. Schulmeyer. And I'm goin' to take them and you two reporters to LOOK at it. All ready? Then come on."
"God knows women have softer hearts than men, and yet they more readily incline to think evil of their fellow-creatures, and particularly of the enemies of their faith. On the other hand they are more sensitive to kindness. A woman's hair is long and her wits short, says the saw." "You have plenty to say against us women!" retorted Neforis. "But scold away scold if it is a comfort to you!"
