'Only that one likes to know something about the people that are introduced to one's wife, Widdowson answered rather acridly. Their bedtime was half-past ten.
And it is also true that the lechery, which he flings so acridly in the face of the pagans, the gross stage-plays, the songs, dances, and even prostitution, were all more or less included in the essence of paganism.

You and Meg have so little sense that whiles I wonder that I am your mother." "You are not Meg's mother that I ken of!" her daughter responded acridly.

I wish to the livin' gracious the old woman'd send you a-kitin'; but she won't; she'll bark at you all day, but she won't bite. Women's queer." Mrs. Withrow was engaged in what she called "workin' the bread into the pans." She received her dejected spouse with a snort of disapproval.
