Just in so far as one is superstitious, one is a bad Catholic. Oh, if the world were populated by good Catholics, it would be the Millennium come to pass." "It would be that, if it were populated by good Christians wouldn't it?" asked Peter. "The terms are interchangeable," she answered sweetly, with a half-comical look of defiance. "Mercy!" cried he. "Can't a Protestant be a good Christian too?"
"Darling mother, you haven't any too many of them, have you?" she murmured; and she gave me, sidelong, as she left us, the prettiest half-comical, half-pitiful smile. "She's amazing she's amazing," said Mrs. Pallant as we looked at each other. "Does she know what you've done?" "She knows I've done something and she's making up her mind what it is.
The other, a few years older, was of medium height and stout beyond proportion; he wore a tweed suit of a rather big check pattern, and the coat was buttoned over a scarlet waistcoat; the straw hat, gaudily beribboned, shaded a fat, jolly, half-comical face, of the type that readily inspires confidence. He was talking to his companion animatedly when he saw Jack approaching.
No one who did not object to fat men because they were fat could help liking Collier, he was so comfortable and peaceful, and Lambert, with his magnificent opinion of himself, which he expressed frequently in a half-comical, half-serious fashion, was to me more like a man on the stage than an ordinary undergraduate.
"That's little Sir Lionel Damer," said Polly. "Good-morning, Leo!" and she nodded as he passed. The boy just touched his hat, bent his head with a melancholy and yet half-comical dignity, and walked on. "Who's he in mourning for?" I asked. "His father and mother," said Polly. "They were drowned together, and now he is Sir Lionel." I looked after him with sudden and intense sympathy.

"Why didn't you come and speak to her?" said Maggie, as he alighted to assist her in again mounting Gritty.
He was a singular object; tall, grim, half-comical, with a leer of low familiarity in his eves, but his waxed mustache of military proportions, his patch of goatee just above the chin, his elaborately oiled hair and flaming necktie, set off his faded face with an odd gear of finery and impressiveness.
He literally walked down the planks into the arena, a strange, half-comical, half-terrible spectacle. New York burst into applause. It was a trained horse, of course, but a horse capable of such training was worth applause.
Gregory had seen the appeal to her with an amused, half-comical look, but her sincere and ready performance of the duty that had unexpectedly revealed itself rapidly changed the expression of his face to one of respect and admiration.
I'll let you know my father wa'n't the man to do anything like that, Jake Noyes!" The boy actually shook his puny fist in the man's face. "Say it again, if ye dare!" he cried. "Lord!" said Jake Noyes, with half-comical consternation. He screwed up one blue eye after a fashion he had people said he had acquired it from dropping drugs for the doctor and looked with the other at the boy.
