How much do you want for holding this proof of yours back, and letting me finish scooping the money of your Hebrew friends Aronson and Rostocker?" The peer raised his head, and shot a keenly enquiring glance at the other. "Are they my friends?" he asked, with challenging insolence. "I'm bound to assume that you have been dealing with them, just as you are dealing with me."
The piquant, handsome face, with its lively expression, its parted lips disclosing a row of pearly teeth, presents itself to the beholder's gaze as if coquettishly challenging his admiration, while the hand holds the pencil as in the act of drawing.
Intercourse with Beardsley, for example, had backed his humorous gentleness with a sort of challenging courage; his new intimacy with Lord Alfred Douglas, coming on the top of his triumph as a playwright, was lending him aggressive self-confidence. I regretted the change in him and was nervously apprehensive.
She looked so beautiful and so fine as she stood there, fearless and challenging before him, that he was moved. But he would not show it. "He was my son when he was a man," he retorted grimly. "He is the son of the woman you once loved," she answered. The old man turned his head away. "What would she have said to what you did to Jim?" He drew himself around sharply.
And as she wheeled about, Olof again was aware of something he had not marked before the curve of her hips, her lithe, supple waist, and the splendid poise of her head. He was so close now that her hair touched his face touched it, or was it only the air as it flew past his cheek? And from her eyes shot beams of light, challenging, beckoning, urging him on. Gazelle!
Towering yellow pines, with feet planted in masses of flowers, pushed toward heaven. Scattered among the rugged pines were thousands of slender aspen trees, swaying and quivering, their white trunks giving an artificial effect to the scene as if the gods had set a stage for some pagan drama. Ruffed grouse strutted about, challenging the world at large.
As the woman spoke her face assumed precisely the mischievous, challenging smile with which she had replied to similar questions. Carroll laughed, and the other man also, although grudgingly. "Well," he said, "there's different ways of looking at a lie." "It wouldn't be any manner of use for you to say you wouldn't see twenty-eight again, no matter how much you got fixed up," the woman retorted.
Scales looked as young as ever, and that she was as bright and as energetic as ever. And truly, regarding Sophia from a little distance that handsome oval, that erect carriage of a slim body, that challenging eye! no one would have said that she was in her sixtieth year. But look at her now, with her twisted face, her sightless orbs, her worn skin she did not seem sixty, but seventy!
On the other hand Thomas's conduct, which must have been exceedingly exasperating to the hot blood which Henry had inherited, must be severely condemned in many details. We cannot avoid the feeling that much about it was insincere and theatrical, and even an intentional challenging of the fate he seemed to dread.
At the same time Aylward was hastily unbuckling the load with the intention of handing his master his armor piece by piece, when the Squire gave one last challenging peal from his silver trumpet into the very ear of the spare horse. In an instant it had taken to its heels, the precious armor upon its back, and thundered away down the road which they had traversed.
