Was he still dreaming, and was she the lady of his dreams? As the lady still stood there, he roused himself and tried to speak.

'The knight cannot speak, though he is so strong and good-looking, she said scornfully.
I tried to head you off a couple of times." Beryl laughed scornfully. "It was funny!" Robin still smarted from her recent embarrassment; she did not relish Beryl's laughing at her. "We had to talk about something," she cried in defence. "Well, if you'd given me a chance I'd have talked about things that are happening in Europe. Sort of led her on, you know, so's maybe she'd give herself away.
"We ain't cuttin' no kindlin's," he said scornfully; then he added brusquely to the stranger: "Fetch out your biggest wood axe you've got one, ye know and look sharp." "I don't think Bill need be so d d rough with the stranger, considering he's saved the coach a very bad smash," suggested a reflective young journalist in the next seat.

He knew that he was the most hated man in Norway after his master but he had executed his mission well and was ready to do it again.

The hunchback caught up a chair and carried it to where she stood, making a gesture which requested her to be seated. Gabrielle looked at him scornfully. "I have nothing to say to you. I trust to the justice of France."
Even as I formed the question in my mind, the lady's silvery voice, behind me, put it into words. She had drawn aside the curtains of her litter and she was leaning out, her eyes upon those dancing points of brilliance. "Madonna," cried one of her grooms, in a quaver of alarm, "they are Borgia soldiers." "Your fear is father to that opinion," she answered scornfully.
