Perhaps you ought to be with your family Saturday evening. I should hate to feel " "My family is away." If David's voice had become suddenly curt, Jonathan did not seem to perceive it. "Then we'll consider it settled." This time his departure was final. And the cloud, lifted a little by the efforts of a white-faced bookkeeper and a comically ugly manikin, settled upon David once more.
Then the world interrupts in some way, and, just as a hermit-crab draws down its shell with a comically rapid movement, so Derrick suddenly retires into himself. Thus much for his outer man.
"You'll get everything now, I'm sure, shan't you?" Mrs. Rooth asked with an inflexion that called back to him comically the source of the sound was so different the very vibrations he had heard the day before from Lady Agnes. "He's going to glory and he'll forget all about us forget he has ever known such low people. So we shall never see him again, and it's better so.
For the mockers are those who die comically, and God laughs at their comic ending, while the nobler part, the part of tragedy, is theirs who endured the mockery. The mockery that underlies the career of Don Quixote is what we must endeavour to discover. And shall we be told yet again that there has never been any Spanish philosophy in the technical sense of the word?
How gaily he rallied Ianthe on her childish ways and sayings! Of course, she remembered him, she said, and the toys and flowers, and told how comically he had puckered his brow in argumentation with her father.

Here the Queen was visible, having her seat in a balcony on the first story, and Madame Pfeiffer and her attendants stood in a row in the courtyard opposite to her.

He thought the fellow appeared to be calculating on how much blood a granger of that bulk contained, and how long it would take him to drink it. "You ain't got a twenty-two hid around in your pocket nowhere?" the inquisitor pressed, with comically feigned surprise. Morgan denied the ownership of even a twenty-two.
How comically life is made up of trivialities. I remember once, in Paris, going with a friend to take the oath of allegiance to the French Republic." "And did you take it?" cried Dupré eagerly. "Alas, no! We met two other friends, and we all adjourned to a café and had something to drink.
I've spoken to the manager about dinner for five." He turned to Nan with brightening interest. "Guess what I saw on the bill of fare! Grizzly bear steak! Think of that! I ordered some." Sansome groaned comically. "What's the matter?" inquired Keith. "Did you ever try it before? Tough, stringy, unfit for human consumption." But Keith was fascinated by the name of the thing.
Not more surprised should I be to see some venerable D. D. of Princeton leading off a dance in the Jardin Mabille. We chased him here, and chased him there. We headed him, and he headed us. We said, "Now I have you," and he said, "No, you don't!" until the affair began to grow comically serious. "Il se moque de vous!" said the guide.
