They turned in surprise at Hodshon's entrance and rose to greet Charity with the homage due so great a client. Charity could hardly bespeak them civilly. They took her curtness for snobbery, but it was not. It swept over her that these people were laughing over her most sacred tragedy. She advanced on the operator and put out her hand for the headpiece he wore.
It was only by degrees that they observed the other objects in the room the big drum on the floor in the empty space where the exhorters stood, the dozen wooden benches and the possible score of people sitting on them, the dull kerosene lamps on the walls, lighting up the curtness of the texts.

Let it come down, so that it may go north and return to us in the shape of credit." Mrs. Gould glanced along the corredor towards the door of her husband's room.
It must be their dejeuner." "It may be," responded mademoiselle, with her manlike curtness of speech. They went into the church, which was empty, and stayed but a few minutes there, for Mademoiselle Brun was as short in her speech with God as with men.
"Twenty has got quite enough individuality for me, thank you!" asserted Barton with some curtness. "But it hasn't!" cried the Older Man hotly. "You've just confessed that it hasn't!"

Ptolemy had intrusted the execution of this severe punishment to Alexander's former comrade as the most trustworthy and discreet of his subjects, but rejected, with angry curtness, Philippus's attempt to uphold the innocence of his friend Archias.
Graves settled her glasses on the bridge of her nose and looked at him. "Yes! I did tell her to send you in. What's the matter? Anything?" "No." The answer was brutal in its curtness. "You've been with that Skinner girl again." The woman sat up in bed and exclaimed angrily. "I can tell by the way you act." A sudden fury took possession of the student.
He therefore forgave the Mayor his curtness; and this morning on his way to the fair he had called at her house, where he learnt that she was staying at Miss Templeman's. A little stimulated at not finding her ready and waiting so fanciful are men! he hastened on to High-Place Hall to encounter no Elizabeth but its mistress herself.
Father Forbes paused, then added with a twinkle in his eye: "That peroration is from an old sermon of mine, in the days when I used to preach. I remember rather liking it, at the time." "But you still preach?" asked the Rev. Mr. Ware, with lifted brows. "No! no more! I only talk now and again," answered the priest, with what seemed a suggestion of curtness.
"We shall never miss it," he added, with the hopefulness of those who can blind themselves to facts. "Come, tell me your impressions of France." "I have been there before," replied Loo, with a curtness so unusual as to make Miriam glance at him. "I have been there before, you know. It would be more interesting to hear your own impressions, which must be fresher."
