In the evening, at dinner, she evinced an icy frigidity. She made no offers to serve Florent, but several times remarked: "It's very strange what an amount of bread we've got through lately." Florent at last understood. He felt that he was being treated like a poor relation who is gradually turned out of doors.
Ferrari glanced at me with an evil sneer in his eyes. "That was fortunate," he said. "She had no time to tire of her husband, else who knows?" My blood rose rapidly to an astonishing heat, but I controlled myself. "I do not understand you," I said, with marked frigidity.

She depicted his impassioned manner; beheld the indecision of both between their lothness to separate and their desire not to be observed; depicted their shaking of hands; how they probably parted with frigidity in their general contour and movements, only in the smaller features showing the spark of passion, thus invisible to all but themselves.
Apparently the heavy sheet of lead was removed, for Gervase goes on to say that "Lanfranc having remained untouched for sixty-nine years, his very bones were consumed with rottenness, and nearly all reduced to powder.

Captain Valls was the bohemian of the family, ever on the high seas or in distant lands, leading the life of a gay bachelor. He had enough money on which to live.
Madame Caille, throned at her counter, received her visitor with unexampled frigidity. "Ah, it is you," she said. "You have come to make some purchases, no doubt." "Eggs, madame," answered her visitor, disconcerted, but tactfully accepting the hint. "The best quality or ?" demanded Alexandrine, with the suggestion of a sneer. "The best, evidently, madame. Six, if you please.
It is obvious that unless such an insulating receptacle could be provided none of the more resistent gases, such as oxygen, could be long kept liquid, even when once brought to that condition, since an environment of requisite frigidity could not practicably be provided. But now another phase of the problem presents itself to the experimenter.
"They at least can give an explanation of their religious ceremonies, whereas the pagan masses cannot say why they carry out their practices." The pagan cults were languishing because of the frigidity of their forms and their incapacity for providing men with an ideal or a discipline or a solace; and the people turned to a living religion.
