"I don't know who it was," observed Miss Slade, rather more than a little acidly, "who came interfering in my business, but whoever he was he nearly spoilt it." She darted a much-displeased look at the chief, who hastened to exculpate himself. "Not I!" he said with a smile. "So don't blame me, Miss Slade. I was merely a looker-on, a passive spectator until the right moment arrived.
His master, less conciliatory, is angry, and says acidly that the masters did better things. Jean-Christophe has a free pass for the concerts and the theater. He has learned to play every instrument a little. He is already quite skilful with the violin, and his father procured him a seat in the orchestra.
But surely it is the end of the world. Tell me, mon ami," she begged, greedily angling for more, "in what do I remind you of the sylvan goddess?" "In the scantiness of your raiment, Citoyenne," he answered acidly. "It sorts better with Arcadia than with Paris." Her eyebrows came down, her cheeks flushed with resentment and discomfiture.
Ricardo sat up in his bed with a sense of outrage. "You have done this?" he asked. "Yes." "Why have you done it?" Mr. Ricardo cried. Hanaud advanced to the bed mysteriously on the tips of his toes. "I will tell you," he said, in his most confidential tones. "Only it must remain a secret between you and me. I did it because I have a sense of humour." "I hate publicity," said Mr. Ricardo acidly.
"Something you pick up in some sections of the Evalee tropics, isn't it?" Mihul nodded. "That's what you did, child! Skipped your shots on the last trip we took and six months later you're still paying for it. You were in one of those typical Dykart fever comas when we brought you in last night." "Very clever!" Trigger commented acidly. "Very." Mihul pursed her lips.
Desire permitted herself to smile and turning, still smiling, faced Aunt Caroline; who, for her part, was in anything but a smiling humor. "I'm glad you take it good-naturedly, Desire," said Aunt Caroline acidly. "But people who arrive at a moment's warning always annoy me. I do not require much, but a few days' notice at the least have you seen a photograph anywhere about?" Desire bit her lips.
You have always liked extreme opinions, exotic costumes, lawless characters, romantic personalities like d'Alcacer . . ." "Poor Mr. d'Alcacer," murmured Mrs. Travers. "A man without any ideas of duty or usefulness," said Mr. Travers, acidly. "What are you pitying him for?" "Why! For finding himself in this position out of mere good-nature.
"I'm imposed on, often enough," he replied, rubbing his leg, "by people who think I am! Why?" "It is only that your sitting so abruptly upon the ground reminded me of something that happened long ago, before I left Canaan, the last time I met you." "I don't think I knew you before you went away. You haven't said if you'll go riding with me to-morrow. Please " "Get up," interrupted Mr. Arp, acidly.
"Now, then, young man," commanded Howard sternly, "you eat that, and you eat it quick!" Freddy obeyed literally, swallowing as fast as he could, with painful gasps and gulps, fighting to keep the tears back. Florette reached under the table and silently squeezed his knee. He flashed her a smile and swallowed a huge slimy mouthful. "You ain't eatin' nothin' yourse'f, Howard," said Florette acidly.
"I suppose you were foolish enough to give her one of your private numbers," she said a trifle acidly. "Which will mean that you will be paying her a modest blackmail all the rest of your life, and you'll probably have to provide for her in your will. Oh, I know Elizabeth!
