Nay, if it came to that, he could not trust his voice, and while he still faltered, seeking for a gibe and finding none, the two combatants had crossed their foils again. Their tense features, plain through the masks, as well as their wary movements, made it clear that they played for a victory of which neither was confident.
When he stood once more in his old place, cutting the leather which smelled to him sweeter than roses, he was assailed by many a gibe, good-natured in a way, but still critical. "What are you to work again for, Henry?" "You've got money enough to live on." "What in thunder are you working for?" One thing was said many times which hit him hard.
At first he expressed mild wonder at Marius's resolution the wonder that is more contemptuous than a gibe and exhorted him in words, the professedly friendly tone of which must have been peculiarly irritating, not to let a distorted ambition get the better of him; every one should see that his desires were appropriate and limit them when they passed this stage; Marius had reason to be satisfied with his position; he should be on his guard against asking the Roman people for a gift which they would have a right to refuse.
And at the thought of that other lover he was convinced that that beloved person was a lover, and she found herself unable to say a word to explain to him that this other person, the person she loved, did not even know of her love Ramage grew angry and savage once more, and returned suddenly to gibe and insult. Men do services for the love of women, and the woman who takes must pay.
By the great principle of scorn within me, which has enabled me to sneer at what weaker minds adore, and make a footstool of that worldly honour which fools set up as a throne, it would be to me more sweet than fame ay, or even than power to see this fine-spun lord a gibe in the mouths of men, a cuckold, a cuckold!" and as he said the last word Brandon laughed outright.
It was then that Berlaymont, according to the account which has been sanctioned by nearly every contemporary writer, whether Catholic or Protestant, uttered the gibe which was destined to become immortal, and to give a popular name to the confederacy. "What, Madam," he is reported to have cried in a passion, "is it possible that your Highness can entertain fears of these beggars?
"Speak," he added presently, as Soolsby fumbled in his great loose pockets, and drew forth a paper. "What has thee to say?" Without a word, Soolsby handed over the paper, but the other would not take it. "What is it?" he asked, his lips growing pale. "Read if thee can read." The gibe in the last words made the colour leap into Soolsby's face, and a fighting look came.
But on the path that he has chosen what is there for him to gain? An inheritance of dim glory beyond the stars, obscured doubtless from time to time, if he is like other men, by sudden and sickening eclipses of his faith. And meanwhile the daily round, the insolent gibe, and the bitter ingratitude of men that leaves him grieving.
Gossom, ignoring the gibe, continued: "We publish every month real literature, the kind that comes from the heart, the stuff of real human lives. I am tired of this silly whine about the lack of opportunities for genius in our country." "It's hard on Tommy, all the same," Isabelle concluded irrelevantly.
It was not bad with a little olive oil and vinegar; but the very thought makes me hungry. What have you in that dish beside you?" "Something better than a crape mask, I assure you." And Trotto put aside the cover, only to let it fall with a little crash as he stared at the white thing, and glanced up to meet my eyes, and hear my gibe. "A little surprise I prepared for you a delicate attention."
