"Wild work, Sir Kenneth," replied De Vaux, shrugging his shoulders, as one who would avoid a perilous or unpleasing topic "a mad world, sir. I must now bid you adieu, having presently to return to the King's pavilion. At vespers I will again, with your leave, visit your quarters, and speak with this same infidel physician.
"Incredulity! thou art the pest of all great minds," said Gourville, shrugging his shoulders. "Gourville!" "Yes," continued he, "and incredulity! thou ruinest, as contagion destroys the most robust health; that is to say, in an instant." "Let us go," cried Fouquet; "desire the door to be opened, Gourville." "Be cautious," said the latter, "the Abbe Fouquet is there."
"From your uncle, from my uncle, Sir Rowland Trenchard." "What means this idle boasting, villain?" said Thames. "Your uncle, Sir Rowland?" "It is no idle boasting," replied the other.

"Let me advise you, monsieur, to go back and sit down quietly, and no harm will happen to you," he continued. "The ship is ours, and we intend to keep her." "Parbleu!" exclaimed the Frenchman, shrugging his shoulders; "you have indeed gained an advantage over me."
The house of Princess Zara had suddenly become hateful to me." "What! At this hour? Why?" Prince Michael was amazed. "Oh, there is no reason, other than that I feel like it," I told him, shrugging my shoulders and trying to look bored. "Then stay. Some of the best people are not here, yet.

"He is very conceited, and very coarse." "Do you really think so? I expected to find you delighted with his unconventionality. I thought him rather amusing." "I thought him extremely aggravating.
"And, in so doing, you only anticipate the step which I intended to take with more cogent motives," replied Casper Eysvogel with cool composure, shrugging his shoulders contemptuously.
