The Germans rode roughshod enough over Austrian susceptibilities when efficiency required it; but they atoned for the brusqueness by conceding a large share in the spectacular aspects of triumph; and just as the Austrians entered Lemberg first and not its real conqueror Mackensen, so Prince Leopold was cast for the part of the victor of Warsaw.
Wanted to know what name you were using. I told him rather bluntly and he went on. Something in his voice made me want to strike him!" Dennison balanced a fork on a finger. "Funny old world, isn't it?" "Very. But I've seen him somewhere before. Perhaps in a little while it will come back.... What an extraordinarily handsome man!" "Where?" with a touch of brusqueness.
Now, for instance, if I'd come to London when you did, and brought my money with me instead of buying your concession with it " "Why, what good do you suppose you would have done?" Thorpe interrupted him with good-natured brusqueness. "You'd have had it taken from you in a fortnight! Why, man, do you know what London is?
She was holding them in her hand, and Randolph almost mechanically took them from her and put them in his pocket.

Many of his patients were simple countrywomen, who had greater belief in that which they feared. They repeated his half-savage speeches to each other, and added, "He's a good doctor, if he does speak out."
We're in good shape for the darn scrap with the Skandinavia you told me about. Guess I'll hand you my stuff to-morrow, when I'm goin' to show you things. This night's your night sure." His twinkling eyes were full of kindly regard, for all the brusqueness of his denial. And Bull smiled back his content. "Well, it's your 'hand' Bat," he said easily. "You'll play it your way."

Certainly, I might have stayed a month or two, and had a pain in the head and gone quickly; but the whole duties were so distasteful that I felt being perfectly callous as to what the world says it was better to go at once, and did so."
