"Evidently my words have touched them and their minds are melting beneath the light of Truth." "Oh! by all means," replied Bickley with sarcasm; "for then their spears will touch us, and our bodies will soon be melting above the fires of that pit."
This was the question of the Clergy Reserves. On this subject much ink had been spilt and much hard feeling engendered; and it still provokes not a little ill-directed sarcasm. The whole matter is in danger of being misunderstood, and eighteenth-century lawmakers are blamed for not possessing ideas a hundred years ahead of their times.
In the same instant the change was made, and Claude saw that which caused it. Basterga himself stood in the half-open doorway, looking towards them. For a few seconds no one spoke. The magistrate's tongue clave to the roof of his mouth, as the scholar advanced, cap in hand, and bowed to one and the other. The florid politeness of his bearing thinly veiling the sarcasm of his address when he spoke.
Why, the next thing, we shall have to buy pianos for our almshouses, for the use of the gentlemen and ladies who occupy them. A violin, indeed!" This Squire Pope regarded as irresistible logic and withering sarcasm combined. He saw Philip go out of the cottage, but, as the sale was not over, he was unable to follow him. "Never mind, I'll fix him as soon as I have time," he said to himself.
"Oh, if I could buy a steady, well-broken, tractable one, I'd take him as an investment, perhaps, but I believe, on the whole, I'd rather put the money into a general menagerie like Barnum's or Forepaugh's. You get such a variety of beasts that way, you know." "Come, now, Phil, your sarcasm is unjust. Prince Ugo is very much of a gentleman, and Bob says he is very clever, too.
The expressed intention of softening the heart of Philip by the use of straightforward language seemed but a sorry sarcasm. It was hardly worth while to wait long for so improbable a result. Thus much for England at that juncture. Not inimical, certainly; but over-cautious, ungenerous, teasing, and perplexing, was the policy of the maiden Queen.
What the devil do you mean by letting that sheriff come in here and subject me to all this annoyance and shock? You'd save us from unpleasantness!" He spoke more slowly now, as if he cudgelled his brain for the most biting sarcasm, the most unbearable insolence. "Don't realize the seriousness! Flat-headed fiends! Are you any nearer the truth now than you were at the start?
That means tragedy not the wolf at the door, but with his snout right in the platter." "I've seen that," said Arthur. "But I never thought much about it until now."

Then, with unwonted feeling: "I'm horrible sorry you've got to go I'll miss you something fierce. You've been very kind thank you." "Mind you take care of the Padre," said the boy, waiving the thanks with a smile. "Don't let him work too hard." "Who, me?" Flint's voice took the knife-edge of sarcasm. "Oh, sure!
Arbuton," said Mrs. Ellison, who did not mean a sarcasm. "It looked like a farmyard in a picture, far out in the country somewhere," resumed Kitty; "and Mr. Arbuton did it the honor to say it was just like Normandy." "Kitty!" "He did, indeed, Fanny; and the cows didn't go down on their knees out of gratitude, either.
