"Of course there'd be no end to the ridicule. Didn't the chap on Harper's, when I was elected for the Senate, rig me out as a gladiator, without a stitch on me, actually, Artie, not a stitch most indecent thing and show old Cicero in the same picture looking at me like John Everard, with a sneer, and singing to himself: a senator! No, I couldn't stand it. I give up.
"As we are!" repeated Mr. Rochester "so," he added, enclosing me in his arms. Gathering me to his breast, pressing his lips on my lips: "so, Jane!" "Yes, so, sir," I rejoined: "and yet not so; for you are a married man or as good as a married man, and wed to one inferior to you to one with whom you have no sympathy whom I do not believe you truly love; for I have seen and heard you sneer at her.
'Perhaps, he repeated with a sneer; 'I venture to say, most positively, I can't conceive any sane reason for your refusing Dorcas's entreaty to live with us at Brandon, and leave this triste, and unwholesome, and everyway objectionable place. 'She was very kind, but I can't do it.
But he never forced himself. Bailey quotes, in connection with this, Keats's own remark to the effect that poetry would better not come at all than not to come 'as naturally as the leaves of a tree. Whether this spontaneity of production was as great as that of some other poets of his time may be questioned; but he would never have deserved Tom Nash's sneer at those writers who can only produce by 'sleeping betwixt every sentence.

As mosquitoes matter, and wasps, and cars that splash mud at you in the road. You'd be constantly annoyed. Your own scullery maid would turn up her nose at you.

I think about other things rather a lot, you see.
Michael dropped his glance to the table again, and began playing with his spoon and trying to get calm with a deep breath as he used to when he knew a hard spot in a ball game was coming. "Well, why don't you speak? You 'fraid?" It was said with a sneer that a devil from the pit might have given. Then Michael sat up calmly. His heart was beating steadily now and he was facing his adversary. "No!
Let him who would sneer at my emotion close this volume here, for he will find little to his taste in my journeyings through Holy Land. Noble old man he did not live to see me he did not live to see his child. And I I alas, I did not live to see him.

"Nothin'," answered Buck, gradually relaxing from his first show of suspicion. "I'm beating it. That's all." "Leaving us?" "Yes." "Not really!" "D'you think I ought to stay?" asked Buck, with something of a sneer. The doctor hesitated, frowning in a puzzled way. At length he threw out his hands in a gesture of mute abandonment.
I mean solid sound slavery on which the Greek and the Roman world rested. FAR finer worlds than ours, my dear chap! Oh FAR finer! And can't be done without slavery. Simply can't be done. Oh, they'll all come to realise it, when they've had a bit more of this democratic washer-women business." Levison was laughing, with a slight sneer down his nose.
All prying queries were side-stepped. As soon as possible Sandy and Bud cut short the conversation and left the yacht club. Unger's face wore an angry sneer as they walked out. "What a creep!" Bud said, when he and Sandy were driving back in his red convertible. Meanwhile, in his private laboratory at Enterprises, Tom was somewhat discouraged.
