"This is Manti, I suppose," she said acridly, shoving the curtain aside and looking out of the window. "We should consider ourselves fortunate not to have had an adventure with Indians or outlaws. We have that to be thankful for, at least." Agatha's sarcasm failed to penetrate the armor of Rosalind's unconcern as Agatha's sarcasms always did.
Gabriel bowed, and turned away to direct the porter to place his portmanteau in a fly. Offended by his silence, Mrs Pansey shook out her skirts and tossed her sable plumes. 'You have not brought back French politeness, young man, said Mrs Pansey, acridly. 'I have been in Germany, retorted Gabriel, as though that fact accounted for his lack of courtesy.
"Yes, but we make ordinary composers believe they are great," he replied acridly. "I'll tell this to Richard." "He won't believe you." "He shall he won't believe you! Oh, Rentgen, how can you invent such cruel things? Are you always so malicious? What do you mean? Come what do you expect?" She closed her eyes, anticipating an avowal.
It'll be better for me and all of us!" Rathburn laughed bitterly. "I can't go because I'm a worse fool than you are," he said acridly. "Get in there. Sneaking lizards, man, can't you see I'm tempted to put a shot into one of them boxes and blow us both to kingdom come?" Sautee shrank back into the powder house, and Rathburn slammed the door.
In Common-room at lunch King discoursed acridly to Prout of boys with prurient minds, who perverted their few and baleful talents to sap discipline and corrupt their equals, to deal in foul imagery and destroy reverence. "But you didn't seem to consider this when your house called us ah stinkers.
We have now to see how the inevitable law accomplished itself in the case of Rousseau. In many this brooding egoism produces a silent and melancholy insanity; with him it was developed into something of acridly corrosive quality. One of the agents in this disastrous process was the wearing torture of one of the most painful of disorders.
Somewhere hard by, a bonfire was pungently smouldering; there was a sour smell where a flock of geese had been feeding all day; flaring acridly across was a transitory reek of burnt lubricating oil, and the hint of a cigar so faint that it was gone before he could be sure of it. . . . The lumbering creak of the mill-wheel rose assertively above the drone and plash of the stream; a shiver of rain and a gentle sigh of wind in the top branches of the trees behind him were suddenly swallowed by the hoot of an owl.
"Ah, they don't understand," cried the other quickly, acridly. "They don't understand." He had drawn his chair beside Rainham, and sat with his large, uncouth head propped on one hand, and the latter could perceive that his mouth was twisted with vague irony and some subtile emotion which eluded him. "You are the great paradox!" he sighed at last. "For Heaven's sake, be reasonable!
It all depends. What shall I say about you to them?" "As little as possible." "And that's really about all I could say," with a suggestion. But the other failed to meet the suggestion half-way. "You might forget about my ragged linen in Paris," acridly. "I'll omit that," good-naturedly. "Come, be cheerful; fortune's wheel will turn, and it pulls up as well as down. Remember that."
Cicily was flushed with chagrin, as she spoke falteringly, with an apologetic inflection: "Oh, the president has to be elected? I beg your pardon! I thought it was like the army, and went by age."
