Grandon taking her into society a few years hence. Why, they will look like sisters." "Of course," answers Eugene, tartly. "Only an idiot would imagine it a real relationship." "Was she very much in love with him?" Miss Murray asks, innocently. "I don't know," returns Eugene, rather impatiently. "I was away when it happened. I think the marriage was hurried a little on account of Mr. St.
You are dwelling too long on the past, really, and making too much of it. Men, when they are saints, are twice as bad as women." I pointed out to my sister something confusing in her way of expressing the fact, but my kindness seemed to exasperate her. "You know what I mean quite well," she said tartly.
Glory, placid as a sheep, was nibbling a frayed end of the rope which held the gate shut, and Weary, the big box balanced in front of him across the saddle, was smoking a cigarette. "Well," greeted Miss Satterly breathlessly, and rather tartly, "only for you having my dress, I'd have gone straight back home. Do brothers always act like this?" "Search me," said Weary, shaking his head.
"Some people pronounce it 'Vimerer, nevertheless," I could not refrain from replying, rather tartly. As if anyone would joy-ride in such weather without a wind screen, I thought disgustedly. "Whom have you got in behind?" was the next query. I leant forward as if imparting a secret of great importance, and said, in a stage whisper: "Germans!"
I must bring a sacque," hurrying away; and in fact she looked cold, and shivered. "He meets me here every day." "Yes," said Catharine with a perplexed look. She had no special instincts or intuitions, but her eyes were as keen and observant as a lynx's. But had he no other purpose than to meet Maria? "I did not know that McCall affected scholarship," said Mr. Muller tartly the next day.
Borkins?" he queried as they all sat at supper, and he himself munched bread and butter and fish paste with a vigour that was lacking in only one quality manners. Borkins sniffed, and passed up his cup to the housekeeper. "Before you were born, I dessay," he responded tartly. "Is that so, Methuselah?" Dollops gave a little boyish giggle at sight of the butler's face.
"And the pearls go so well with the delicate blue!" Her husband, who had come up to us, and waited till her eye fell upon him before venturing to speak, now said, "It is strange Monsieur Ogre is not yet arrived!" "Not at all strange," said she, tartly.
"I must have somebody in a cradle," she said almost tartly, "and you are the littlest. A cradle is such a nice homely thing to have about a house." While she sewed they played around her; such a group of happy faces and dancing limbs lit up by that romantic fire. It had become a very familiar scene, this, in the home under the ground, but we are looking on it for the last time.
"The woman is harmless enough," said Miss Vance tartly. "She speaks exquisite French." "But what does she say in it?" persisted George. "She is vulgar from her red pompon to her boots. She has the swagger of a soubrette and she has left a trail of perfume behind her pah! I confess I am surprised at you, Miss Vance. You do not often slip in your judgment."
Jimmy had coloured a little. "What sort?" he asked quietly. It was May's turn to flush; she did not quite like his tone, and, moreover, she had no answer ready. "Some business, of course," she answered tartly. "You have no profession. Henry has promised to see if any of his friends have vacancies in their offices. I suppose you have saved enough to keep you for a little while?"
