"Wouldn't it be nice if we had an auto, then I could step in, right in front of the house, and keep as clean as " The young man laughed. "Wouldn't you like an aëroplane better, Fan? I believe I would." "You could keep it in the barn; couldn't you, Jim?" "No," derided Jim, "the barn isn't what you'd call up-to-date. I require a hangar or whatever you call 'em." The girl smothered a sigh.
I now surrendered myself to a nobler philosophy than in crowds and cities I had hitherto known. I no longer satirized; I inquired: I no longer derided; I examined.
An incredulous youth derided the saint and the story. The following morning he approached Sadasiva. "Master," he said scornfully, "why don't you take me to the festival, even as you did yesterday for the other children?" Sadasiva complied; the boy immediately found himself among the distant city throng. But alas! where was the saint when the youth wanted to leave?
And I have heard that a fourth, who had been prominent as a pacifist in the days of an earlier conflict, had written a letter to a colleague as late as the evening of August 1, saying that a war declared merely on grounds of problematical self-interest would create such an outcry in Great Britain as had never been heard here before leaving us a derided and, therefore, easily-vanquished people.
He could have done it, and he is of the departed! The everlasting pantomime, suggested by Mrs. Warwick in her exclamation to Perry Wilkinson, is derided, not unrighteously, by our graver seniors.

Then shall the pallid constable flee side by side with the detected thief. Blaze! he cried, 'blaze, derided city! Fall, flatulent monarchy, fall like Dagon! With these words his foot slipped upon the lead; and but for Somerset's quickness, he had been instantly precipitated into space.
In answer to this, Cato wrote word again, that he would take the horse and foot which he had brought into Africa, and go over into Italy, to make a diversion there, and draw Caesar off from them. But Scipio derided this proposition also.
He had come to look upon nationality as a contemptible thing, a fretful preoccupation with little affairs, but when he faced the fury of John Marsh, he could not deny that this passion, whether it be little or big, will bring the world to broils until it be satisfied. He did not now feel that irritation which he had formerly felt when John derided the English or called them by opprobrious names.
"Climb too much for her, and very sensibly they've turned back." "If I could only be sure. If I could only be sure she wasn't hurt or lost," said Mrs. Blair doubtfully. "Lost!" Bob Martin derided. "Lost on a straight trail. Not unless they jolly wanted to!" "Don't spoil the party, mother," was Ruth's edged advice. "Ri-Ri hasn't broken any legs or necks. And she wasn't alone to get lost.
He can not possibly have formed a moral idea higher or completer than that which dominates our industrial and commercial order. "Youth was as noble in your day as now, and dreamed the same great dreams of life's possibilities. But when the young man went forth into the world of practical life it was to find his dreams mocked and his ideals derided at every turn.
