If Abner goes there'll be jest a dozen arter his job in an hour," replied the grocer, sarcastically. "Perhaps there will, but you won't find me among them, Mr. Squires. I'm willing to work and work hard, but I think a fellow deserves a living wage.
But you never had much bringing up, though you do 'live in a house with a gambrel roof," retorted Ben, sarcastically quoting Sam's frequent boast; then he walked off, much disgusted with the ingratitude of man. Sam forgot his manners, but he remembered his promise, and kept it so well that all the school wondered.
"So, you've an expedition on hand, Sergeant Tanner." "Yes, Mistress Corbett, and I'm one of the party." "I wish you joy," replied Nancy, sarcastically. "Oh, it's nothing, Mistress Corbett, nothing at all, only some smugglers in a cave; we'll soon rout them out." "I've heard a different account from the admiral's clerk." "Why, what have you heard?"

"Well, as you know, we four husky braves meandered from the island one bright morning in the early part of the week to seek our fortune, as it were, in the city of promise." "Yes, that's all it does do," Roy put in pessimistically. "Promise!"

"I found " "There, hold your tongue now," said Uncle Richard.
"I have no wish at all in the matter," she answered, "except to see Sylvie quite happy." "How very romantic is the friendship between you two women!" said Varillo somewhat sarcastically, "You wish to see Sylvie happy, and the other day she told me she would form her judgment of me by YOUR happiness! Really, it is most admirable and touching!" Angela began to feel somewhat puzzled.
The seeker after gold apparently had good control of his nerves, or else he was ignorant of what was going on. For he asked, casually enough: "Have we stopped?" "We have," answered Tom. "I thought I'd give you a view of the scenery." Perhaps he spoke sarcastically, but, if he did, Mr. Damon's friend did not seem to be aware of it.

God knows," he added, sadly, and shaking his head slowly, "I would willingly believe it more willingly than I can say; but I can't, Mother Kirstine.
"A fine, hard crew you are," he said sarcastically at last. "A great bunch of long riders, lettin' a slip of a yaller-haired girl make fools of you. You over there you, Shorty Rhinehart, you'd cut the throat of a man that looked crosswise at the Cumberland girl, wouldn't you? An' you, Purvis, you're aching to get at me, ain't you?
