I don't want none of your teeth; I've got enough of my own. So the boy pipes, as he selects it from his change, and throws it on the counter. 'Don't sauce ME, in the wicious pride of your youth, Mr Venus retorts pathetically. Don't hit ME because you see I'm down. I'm low enough without that. It dropped into the till, I suppose. They drop into everything.
It is true, the young men attempted to storm his works repeatedly, incited by the hope of gaining the approbation of their fair companions; but even when they sped a well-aimed shaft, the planter forced them to feel defeat by the tremendous discomfiting thunder of the laughter with which he accompanied his retorts.
Can it be, that Miss Inez is not the murderess after all? The man retorts again she does not hear how then plunges into the woodland and disappears. An instant the girl stands motionless looking after him, then she turns and walks rapidly back into the house. In the annals of our town, of our county, of our country we may almost say, it stands unparalleled in its atrocity.
I practise political virtue: it embarrasses the world, it fogs them, it seems original, because so unnecessary. Mine is the scientific life. Experiment in old substances gives new well, say, new precipitations. But you are scientific, too. You have a laboratory, and have much to do with retorts." "No, you are thinking of my husband. The laboratory is his." "But the retorts are yours."
Swiggs settles her head and shoulders into it, saying, "there!" "Glad'um suit fo'h true!" retorts the negress, her heavy lips and sullen face giving out the very incarnation of hatred. "Now don't make a noise when you go out." Rebecca in reply says she is "gwine down to da kitchen to see Isaac," and toddles out of the room, gently closing the door after her. Resignedly Mrs.
The Frenchman retorts that his American brother, clever person though he be, has one or two things still to learn. He has, he declares, no philosophy of life. It is true that he has learned the trick of making money, but in the things which go to satisfy the soul he is still strangely lacking. He thinks he is enjoying life, when really he is ignorant of what life is.
In only one room does one find a really elaborate piece of apparatus. This exceptional mechanism consists essentially of a cabinet large enough to give comfortable lodgment to a human subject a cabinet with walls of peculiar structure, partly of glass, and connected by various pipes with sundry mysterious-seeming retorts.
Jeff knew the danger-signals. Too deeply sunken in melancholy to venture any further retorts, he withdrew himself, seeking sanctuary in the lee of Mittie May. He squatted upon the capsized keeler, automatically balancing himself as it wabbled under him on its one projecting handle, and, with his eyes fixed on nothing, gave himself over unreservedly to a consuming canker.
"No matter," retorts Robespierre with impatient frigidity, "whatever we may call the day it was forty-eight hours ago, and in forty-eight hours more than damned Englishman will have run his head into a noose, from which, an I mistake not, he'll not find it easy to extricate himself." "And you believe in Citizen Chauvelin's assertion," commented Danton with a lazy shrug of the shoulders.
Was Irene really enraptured by the dear little barnacles and the exquisite sea-weeds? I have seen a girl all of a flutter with pleasure in a laboratory when a young chemist was showing her the retorts and the crooked tubes and the glass wool and the freaks of color which the alkalies played with the acids. God has made them so, these women, and let us be thankful for it.
