When the judges again leave the bench for their chamber, the crowd in court give way outright to joy. Every face is bright; every heart is light; jokes go round, and there is great "chaff" of the crown officials, and of the "polis," who, poor fellows, to tell the truth, seem to be as glad as the gladdest in the throng. Five o'clock arrives half-past five the jury must suavely be out soon now.
Looking down on him had become such a habit that it was quite impossible for her to look up to any one of his sex. "Yes, Mrs. Force, the Banner." "Can you tell me who put that disgusting item in the paper about my little gathering last week?" She regarded him with severity. "Gathering? Oh, I daresay it was one of the hospital reporters, Mrs. Force," said Flanders suavely.
She had appeared once on deck with him, very closely veiled, and hung upon his arm in a way that showed she was not standing the voyage very well, pleasant as it had been. "Gentlemen," began the man suavely, "I would like to say a few words to you if I were certain that my remarks would be taken in the spirit in which they are given, and that you would not think me intrusive or impertinent."
"I'll venture to ask one question," said the lame teacher suavely. He had been sitting particularly decorously and had not spoken till then. "I should like to know, are we some sort of meeting, or are we simply a gathering of ordinary mortals paying a visit? I ask simply for the sake of order and so as not to remain in ignorance." This "sly" question made an impression.
"This is a genuine pleasure, Monsieur le Marquis," observed the land baron suavely, when the two found themselves seated in a card room with brandy and soda before them. "To meet a nobleman of the old school is indeed welcome in these days when New Orleans harbors the refugees of the world, for, strive as we will, outsiders are creeping in and corrupting our best circles."
"I really don't know whether Miss Gorham has advised her father or not; that is her affair." "Well, we'll see that he does know it," stormed Brady; "and will also see that he knows how you've unloaded it on her." "You may find some difficulty," Covington replied, suavely. "The certificates, you know, never stood in my name. I simply acted as the young lady's agent.
Temperley purposely misunderstood her to say "imaginary meals," and hoped that next time she came, Hadria would not have an oratorio in course of composition. Miss Du Prel expressed a fiery interest in the oratorio. "I judge the presence of oratorio by the absence of food," Temperley explained suavely. Hadria watched the encounter with a mingled sense of amusement and discomfort.
I am not the animal from which sausages are made.” She looked at me suavely and then with the sweetest possible smile breathed out the word: “No.” And we both laughed very loud. O! days of innocence! On this occasion we parted from each other on a light-hearted note.
Tesla was replying, not so fawningly, the bay beneath his soft words mastering his sycophantic tones. Let him talk. He had something to talk about. He saw something. There was a new tableau in Tesla's brain. Let him keep murmuring things about it suavely, unctuously letting off steam. Like a man returning drearily to his game of solitaire, Dorn fastened his eyes again upon the scene.
His eyes fell on the girl, made no secret of his emotions concerning her and her beauty. Miss Cressy laughed a little sardonically. "No doubt. You were always different after each new sweetheart, I recall. So were they some of them." "You do me too much honor," he retorted suavely. "Shall we not go out, Miss Holiday? The garden is very beautiful by moonlight."
