"There is only one way of transacting business," said Mr. Wilton frigidly, and as if, so far as he was concerned, the interview was ended.
The scene was largely a stereotyped copy of the one I had witnessed upon my first call at the Margolises' Sidney scowled "Come on, Sidney, be a good boy," Nodelman urged, taking him by the sleeve "Let me alone," Sidney snarled, breaking away and striking the air a fierce backward blow with his elbow "What do you want of him?" Mrs. Nodelman said to her husband, frigidly
"You know," he explained, "Mamma won't come to you while she can send my brother. Oh, she'll certainly send Philippe to fetch me." The first time he said this Nana was deeply wounded. She said frigidly: "Gracious me, I should like to see him come! For all that he's a lieutenant in the army, Francois will chuck him out in double-quick time!"
His first impulse was to ask her sharply what business she had in his study; but, remembering that he had not seen her for three weeks, he held out his hand and said, rather frigidly: "Good-evening, Zita; how are you?" She put up her face to be kissed, but he moved past as though he had not seen the gesture, and took up a vase to put the pyrus in.
People who knew him whisper that he realized his failure, and in consequence took to emptying the vats of beer that finally drowned him. And on the occasion of his death, valediction went no further than frigidly applauding his creditable work for the organ, his erudition and productivity that almost rival those of the eighteenth-century composers.

They talked, and Gregory stood above them, aloof from their conversation frigidly gazing over the company, his elbow in his hand, his neat fingers twisting his moustache.
Kindly as he had been treated by others, far back in his soul was a thing that rankled. Shall it be told crudely why he went that night? Stephen Brice, who would not lie to others, lied to himself. And when he came downstairs again and presented Miss Emily with her handkerchief, his next move was in his mind. And that was to say good-night to the Colonel, and more frigidly to Miss Carvel herself.

In delivering the message the servant gave a shrewd, comprehending, sympathetic smile, as if to say: 'I am just as excited about your plot as you are. 'Thank you, Sarah. That will do. Aunt Annie dismissed her frigidly. 'Yes'm.
And who's Trenholme, I'd like to know?" Sylvia bethought herself. Certainly an explanation was needful, and her feminine wit supplied one instantly. "Mr. Trenholme was sent here by the Scotland Yard people," she said, a trifle less frigidly. "I suppose we shall all be mixed up in the inquiry the detectives are holding, and it seems that Mr.
"I see your address is that of Messrs. Popham & Pilboody in Cursitor Street, Mr. Pett," he observed frigidly. "Any connection with that well-known firm?"
