O'Malley, sir," said the servant to the officer waiting, as we entered the antechamber. "Ah, Mr. O'Malley," said the aide-de-damp, in his blandest accent, "I hope you're better. Sir George is most anxious to see you; he is at present engaged with the staff " A bell rang at that moment, and cut short the sentence; he flew to the door of the inner room, and returning in an instant, said,
"That makes it less probable still." "Therefore, my friend," said Aramis, with one of his blandest smiles, "Goliath is in the stable, well pleased, I will answer for it, that Porthos is no longer on his back." In fact, the horse had been brought back from the relay by the direction of the prelate, from whom no detail escaped. D'Artagnan appeared as well satisfied as possible with the explanation.
"Well, well," replied Judith, in the blandest tone she could assume; "I hope he will. And if the doctor says so, I have no doubt of it. I only heard of his illness a few minutes ago, and came instantly to nurse him." "You nurse him?" cried the old woman; "if you show him any affection now, it will be for the first time since your wedding-day."
I heartily wish it had been worth more." "No doubt," says my lord, in the blandest, but the driest tone. Some men would have, under a sense of Tom's merits, sent him a cheque off-hand for five-and-twenty pounds: but that is not Lord Minchampstead's way of doing business.

"Well, for my part," said I, "I am willing to do my share toward paying off this debt.
Vivian interrupted in the blandest tones, laying his arm on Guy's shoulder. "'Tis yourself" Guy cried, shaking him violently off, "you coward! villain! rogue!" "Guy, you mystify me," Henry Rayne said in strange wonder, "pray explain. Whatever can you mean by such queer conduct?" "'Tis a painful task, uncle, but I must do it. This man, in whom you have placed your trust, has foully wronged you.
Still, to a keen observer, the constitutional tendencies of that nervous temperament were often visible, even in his blandest moments, even when his voice was most musical, his smile most gracious. "Thy name, friend?" "Hugh Withers, please you, my lord duke." "Um! North country, by thine accent. Dost thou serve this Master Warner?" "No, my lord, I was only hired with my mule to carry "
Congdon," the Governor began in his blandest tones, "as a mere looker-on at the passing show I'm persuaded that you're not getting much out of life. A mistake, sir; a mistake it grieves me to see you making." "What I do or do not do," cried the old man, lifting his umbrella belligerently, "is none of your infernal business."
"Morning," replied Joe, gruffly, in answer to the salutation. "Where is John, Mr. Porter?" This question was asked in Mr. Sealy's blandest tones, for he was sufficiently acquainted with human nature to perceive nothing would be gained by being cross. "He hasn't come down yet."
