Ford nor nobody who represents him, set foot on this land. So that's your game; is it?" and he leered at them. "Game! We don't know what you mean!" said Mollie with asperity. "We certainly are up to no game." "Indeed not!" echoed Betty indignantly. The girls, even Amy and Grace, had recovered their "nerve" now.
Sidwell thought it better to make no reply. 'The characteristic of women, Buckland pursued, with some asperity, throwing away the stump of his cigar.

Their life is a succession of inconsistencies.
"Thou, Fra Antonio, seek thine own friends!" Fra Giulio retorted, with unusual asperity; "for this tale is too good for thine hearing, being another triumph for Fra Paolo in the days when he was only a frate of the Servi."
McNally, with a deprecating giggle, advised Brian to sit next the partner he liked best. He hesitated, and cast a baffled glance round the room.

But I must go back a little.
"If you can, you are a clever child," answered Miss Minchin, drawing in her mouth sharply. Then, seeing that Sara looked slightly chilled by her asperity, she changed her manner. "But you are clever in everything," she said in her approving way. "I dare say you can manage her. Go in." And she left her.

Immediately after luncheon Pete and Eliza started for South Boston to pay a visit to Eliza's mother, and it was soon after they left the house that Bertram called his wife up again.
