Eet is easy for the sawyer to step out of the way while the blade, he hit a spike!" A long whistle traveled over Houston's lips. This was the explanation of broken saws, just at the crucial moment! "Simple, isn't it?" he asked caustically. "Whenever it's necessary for an 'accident' to happen, merely send out into the woods for a load of timber from a certain place."
For there had been a great religious revival the previous year and many had been pricked in conscience. "Ye ain't so tuk up now in contemplatin' the goodness o' God an' yer sins agin same," he pursued caustically. Brent retorted with obvious acrimony. "I don't see no 'casion ter doubt the goodness o' God I never war so ongrateful nohow as that comes to."
"And of course," he said caustically, "the name of this mysterious feminine friend must be a secret?" "Certainly. No mention of this transaction must be made to her directly, or indirectly. Those are my specific instructions. Now, Mr. Fairchild, that seems to me to be a wonderful offer. And it " "Do you want my answer now?" "At any time when you have given the matter sufficient thought."
But a hawk-faced man in brown asked dry questions. Were there more races than one upon Earth? Were they of diverse colors? Did they ever war among themselves? At Tommy's answers the atmosphere seemed to change. And the hawk-faced man rose to speak. Tommy and Evelyn, he conceded caustically, had certainly come from another world.
The contractor raised himself to his full height and frowned down on the smaller man. "You seem to misunderstand your position, Adrian Conrad. What did I hire you for?" "For quarter what I'm worth," replied Conrad caustically. Torrance blinked twice, then, coldly: "From the first of this month your pay will be four hundred a month. Now do what you're told or your pay stops instanter."
He was uncompromisingly and caustically severe upon some of the literary idols of his day, men who have survived that terrible handicap, contemporary recognition and appreciation. He was not a deep reader, hardly a reader at all in the accepted meaning of the word. He frankly confessed that books were to him of secondary importance to man as a subject for study.
"I assume they all came through their difficulties as happily as I?" "I can't remember any of them dying," he said caustically; then with deliberate malice: "None of them even pretended to faint." The evil bolt, although all unwittingly shot, came close home and she could have struck him in her shame and fury. How much did he know? And how dared he couple her with those nameless creatures!
On one occasion Miss Isobel was so outraged by his familiar attitude toward her mother that she plucked up courage to remonstrate with him; but Madam, instead of appreciating the interference on her behalf, promptly turned upon her defender. "Now, Isobel," she said caustically, "you may be old enough to want men to respect you, but I am young enough to want them to like me.
On the contrary, he asserts that if a cosmic hypothesis is to be held at all, that of an intelligent Mind is far more probable than atheism. Indeed of atheism he has written as caustically as the most orthodox could wish. He expressly contends that the theory of design is far more probable than blind mechanism, and if he excludes theism, it is not so much for philosophical as for social reasons.
Miss Cobbe would not humour an egoist, because constitutionally women, especially clever women, dislike them, unless they wish to marry them. When she heard it said, as it very frequently was said, that Borrow was a gypsy by blood, she caustically remarked that if he were not he "OUGHT to have been."
