'Too kind too kind! she murmured; and she was not ironical." In the days of pituitary and thyroid hyperfunction we may be sure she would have been caustically and penetratingly ironical. The case of Oscar Wilde, as one of the high tragedies of English Literature and Life, attracted the attention of the whole world in its heyday, and even today evokes controversy.
"It wouldn't!" protested Tutt with a grimace. "The law is the perfection of reason." "But I am entitled, am I not, to suppose, for purposes of argument, that it might?" she inquired caustically. "And I say that our sense of honor is the most precious thing we've got.
When I look over some of the letters that I received from England in 1915 letters from strangers evoked by a book called The Pentecost of Calamity, wherein I had published my conviction that the cause of England was righteous, the cause of Germany hideous, and our own persistent neutrality unworthy I'm glad I lost my temper only once, and replied caustically only once.
Her gown of henna-colored chiffon, with touches of gold embroidery, was most becoming to her dark beauty, and some fine ornaments of ancient carved gold gave an Oriental touch to her appearance.

As may be supposed, Traverse was in excellent humor. He seemed bubbling over with good-natured fun, and even Dexie thawed out sufficiently to answer his repartees less caustically than usual.
Morey called out to him, and Arcot awoke with a guilty start. "A fine sentry you make," said Morey caustically.

Come on snap out of it!"
"Why are you not dressed?" she somewhat caustically inquired, as her niece came down arrayed for dinner. For answer Miss Allison contemplated her pretty white arms, and took a backward and downward glance at the fall of the trailing skirt of heavy silk, then must it be recorded? she calmly asked, "What's the matter with this?"
He thought, sardonically, what any one of those whom he had caustically defined as her "poodles" would give for an hour or so of similar boredom, if it involved Lilith all to himself. Some of this must have been reflected in his eyes, for Lilith broke in quickly: "No, you are not candid. I accept the amendment. I can see the sarcasm in your face."
"Who d'youse t'ink it is-me gran'mother?" demanded Rhoda Gray caustically. "Who are youse?" "Rorke," said Rorke shortly. "I guess you know, don't you?" "Is dat so?" snorted Rhoda Gray. "Well den, youse can beat it hop it on de jump! Wot t'hell right have youse got bustin' into me room at dis time of night eh? I ain't done nothin'!" Rough Rorke, his feet scuffling to feel the way, came forward.
