"I fail to understand the entanglement," answered the Duke stiffly. "He is an Englishman whose name and native language are French he speaks as good French as your own." The Duke peevishly tapped a chair with his stick. "I am no reader of riddles, monsieur," he said acidly, although eager to know more concerning this Englishman of the same name as himself, ruler of the sovereign duchy of Bercy.
"Euphemie Knowlton?" said Mrs. Salter. "Yes, I used to wonder if we shouldn't get our minister's wife from Elmfield. It looked likely at one time." "Those two wouldn't ha' pulled well together, ne ver," said another. "I should like to know how he and Di's goin' to pull together?" said Mrs. Flandin acidly. "He goin' one way, and she another." "Do you think so, Mrs.
He did not fancy himself as the president of a great company in whose works not a wheel was turning. "I'd like to find some other way out of it. There's going to be hell to pay here, but " "Perhaps the ingenious gentleman at St. Marys could help out," said Birch acidly.
Ma, whose marketing costume had always been neat but sketchy, would eye her disapprovingly. "Are you going out?" "Just to market. I thought I'd start early, before everything was picked over." "Oh to market! I thought you were going to a party, you're so dressy." In the beginning Lil had offered to allow Ma Mandle to continue with the marketing but Mrs. Mandle had declined, acidly.
Is he er ?" And she touched her forehead, where tendrils of fair hair were blowing in the breeze. Inexpressibly outraged by such a question concerning one for whom she had a proprietary reverence, Mrs. Petty answered acidly: "Oh dear no! He is much wiser than some people!"
"Are you aware," he answered Detricand at last, "that I could send you straight from here to the guillotine?" "So could the porter at your gates, but he loves France almost as well as does the Duc de Bercy." "You take refuge in the fact that you are my kinsman," returned the Duke acidly.

No, sir, I'm not making a whining noise." "What sort of noise, sir?" inquired Mike, as many Wrykynians had asked before him. It was a question invented by Wrykyn for use in just such a case as this. "I do not propose," said Mr. Downing acidly, "to imitate the noise; you can all hear it perfectly plainly. It is a curious whining noise."
"I only thought it was cooler." She preceded them, without seeming to be at all conscious that she was taking the lead. "You had better pick up your dress, Miss Octavia," said Lady Theobald rather acidly. The girl glanced over her shoulder at the length of train sweeping the path, but she made no movement toward picking it up. "It is too much trouble, and one has to duck down so," she said.
"Oh, I haven't time to pry into other people's thoughts," she said, acidly. And, indeed, just then her time was very full. She was enormously useful to the community that second winter; her young power and strength shone out against the growing weariness of the old sisters. "Athalia's capable," Eldress Hannah said, and the other sisters said "Yee," and smiled at one another.
"Don't you think he is in love with her?" "If you ask me, I think he has reached the point where he can't bear the sight of her. But he doesn't know it." "She's pretty."
