It will be worth seeing." M. Fortunat smiled graciously. "That ought to bring you a handsome commission," he said, benignly. Employed by the job, Chupin was the master of his own time, free to utilize his intelligence and industry as he chose, but M. Fortunat did not like his subordinates to make any money except through him.
I shall not forget that whatever money I may make will really belong to you." He looked at her benignly, like a monarch of finance who has ear-marked a million or two for the benefit of a deserving charity. "You shall have it all, Jill." He had so much the air of having conferred a substantial benefit upon her that Jill felt obliged to thank him.
Darlington was benignly talkative and full of kindly gossip; Canon Wilton almost beamed upon his guests; after dinner Rosamund sang song after song while the three men listened and looked. She sang her very best for them, and when she was winding a lace shawl about her hair preparatory to the little walk home, Canon Wilton thanked her in a way that brought the blood to her cheeks.
While hastily dressing, his toilette labours were expedited by an impatient rap which only Hannah's heavy hand could have delivered. Wrapped in his dressing-gown he opened the door, saying benignly: "Is there an earthquake or a cyclone? You thunder as if my room were Mount Celion. Is any one dead?" "Some one ought to be! The house was broken open last night, and the silver urn is missing.
Yule shook his head with a regretful sigh, but asked benignly "What shall I do for my little daughter?" "Forbid Mark to execute a plot with which he threatens me.

"Let 'em fight it out, I'm impartial," he remarked; and having lifted his little observing door, and given one glance, parrot-wise, below, he shut away the troubled prospect of those mortals, and drove along benignly.
And from revolving his thumbs benignly towards himself he began to revolve them urbanely from himself. The reversal was imitated at once by Barton Ward, but Watson Bard was slower in putting this new coup into execution.

So for the time being they were trying down there to keep her courage up, and that was about all they could do." "I will take the address of this mission and send a contribution," announced Mr. Tollman benignly. "I suppose your business here is soliciting that is it not?"
And we, on our part, will recover our money and interest without the unpleasant reflection that, in doing so, we have beggared you." Lablache, usurer, scoundrel, smiled benignly at his companion as he pronounced his concluding words. The Hon. Bunning-Ford looked, thought, and looked again. He began to think that Lablache was meditating a more rascally proceeding than he had given him credit for.
When the clock struck she got up from her chair, and the movement seemed to react on her brain; her thoughts unclouded, and she went up-stairs thinking clearly of her love of this old house. The old gentleman in the red coat, his hand on his sword, looked on her benignly; and the lady playing the spinet smiled as sweetly as was her wont. Emily held up the candle to the picture of the windmill.
