Come, my friend," he continued, looking drolly at me, "have you turned leech, or I babe is arms that you put such strong liquors before me?

It would serve you right if I made you pledge me in the same liquor!"
Long after he made me a formal retractation of the sermon and a formal apology for the pain he had inflicted; adding drolly, but truly, 'You see, at that time I was so much younger than you! And yet even in those days there was much to learn from him; and above all his fine spirit of piety, bravely and trustfully accepting life, and his singular delight in the heroic.
"Well all I can say," he remarked drolly as he pushed back his chair in answer to the summons of the telephone, "is that it is lucky Christmas comes only once a year. Otherwise, Aunt Trudy, you'd have us completely demoralized." Spending their Christmas money gave the three girls a good deal of pleasure during holiday week and a letter from their mother was another pleasant incident. Mrs.
He would talk in this manner, not before one or two, but in a compromising manner, quite openly in the Tuileries gardens, or in the galleries of Versailles, before everybody, and would often drolly speak of the King as "the brother-in-law."

He looked at her drolly, answering, "Of course I heard her bell. And often I heard the sheep talking to one another on Twelfth-night; or at least I thought I did." "Truly?" asked Edith in great delight. He nodded, smiling mischievously at her unexpected pleasure in hearing of the Italian superstitions. Befana is the Italian Lady Santa Claus.
A mother holds, and always will hold, that no woman on earth is good enough for her son. Now, as I recollect, I did not think Mr. Bennington too good for me." She smiled drolly. Lucky Jack! If only he had had a mother like this! Warrington thought. "I dare say he thought that, too," he said. "Myself, I never knew a mother's love. No doubt I should have been a better man.
He said I would regret not having taken the check." "Did he threaten you?" "Well, he said that I would have to leave town." "He is afraid of you, and he knows it." "If he is, he ought to know it," Lyman drolly replied. "If he doesn't know it, somebody ought to tell him. But I won't go away and leave you unprotected." She looked at him gratefully.
