"Richard is one year and nine months older than me, mama." Mrs. Doria fought the fact by years and finally by months. Clare was too strong for her. "Singular child!" she mentally apostrophized the girl who scornfully rejected straws while drowning. "But there's the religion still!" she comforted herself, and sat down to cogitate. The men smiled and looked vacuous. Music was proposed.
Of course after it was settled he went straight to Martha's grave and staid there all the afternoon, and did a little gardening around it, and trained the rose-bush around the head-stone, and picking a half open blossom, put it in his button-hole and silently apostrophized the dead woman at his feet, telling her that though he was about to bring a new mistress to the home where she had reigned supreme, he should not forget her, and should so far as was consistent, see that all her ideas were carried out, especially as far as his health was concerned.
The brave Vernier came near shooting a cow which was peaceably feeding by the roadside. "Ah, you fired in the air!" cried Gaudissart. At these words the enemies embraced. "Monsieur," said the traveller, "your joke was rather rough, but it was a good one for all that. I am sorry I apostrophized you: I was excited. I regard you as a man of honor."
With that obstinacy which a Frenchwoman when she is sentimental mistakes for nobility of heart, the ci-devant amante of Lord Borodaile insisted upon watching and tending one of whose sufferings she said and believed she was the unhappy though innocent cause: and whenever more urgent means of removal were hinted at La Meronville flew to the chamber of her beloved, apostrophized him in a strain worthy of one of D'Arlincourt's heroines, and in short was so unreasonably outrageous that the doctors, trembling for the safety of their patient, obtained from Talbot a forced and reluctant acquiescence in the settlement she had obtained.
"No, no!" Mrs. Thorne protested. "Yes, yes! You have asked that question, you must have. You are an angel, but you are a mother, too." "I have asked no questions since you began to tell your story; but I have wondered how Willy could have found courage, in one week, to offer himself to such gifts and possessions as yours." "A mother, and a worldly mother!" Miss Benedet apostrophized.
The negro stumbled over him and plunged earthward, the iron bar flying harmless from his grasp. "Good little Davy!" apostrophized Brice, as he hurdled the sprawling bodies and made for the dock. The way was clear, and he ran at a pace which would not have disgraced a college sprinter.
Grim led the way-off the highroad now, and down dark defiles that set the camels moaning, while their riders yelled alternately to Allah and apostrophized their beasts in the monosyllabic camel language. Camels hate downhill work, especially when loaded, and fall unless told not to in a speech they understand, in that respect strangely like children.

"Comedian!" the Marquis contemptuously apostrophized him. "Does it alter the case? Are these men who have opposed you men who live by the sword like yourself?" "On the contrary, M. le Marquis, I have found them men who died by the sword with astonishing ease. I cannot suppose that you desire to add yourself to their number." "And why, if you please?"
Allen's imagination made a goddess of every pretty girl, and Dan had settled down to the belief that his friend saw in Marian only one of the many light-footed Dianas visible in the city thoroughfares, whom he invested with deific charms and apostrophized in glowing phrases.
