"What! you, Cumberledge?" he murmured, measuring me with his eye; "and you, Nurse Wade? Well, I thought you would manage it." There was a tone almost of amusement in his voice, a half-ironical tone which had been familiar to us in the old hospital days. He raised himself on one arm and gazed at the water all round. Then he was silent for some minutes. At last he spoke again.
"That dreadful river! How did you cross it!" Dickie smiled. "It would have taken more than a river to stop me," he said in his old, half-demure, half-ironical fashion. And that was all Sheila ever heard of that brief epic of his journey. He drew away from her now and went over to the fire. "Dickie" she followed him "tell me how you came here.

This half-ironical frivolity pervades his whole political action.
I am, it seems, a sort of uncle of yours?" "Vladimir Nikolaitch has a good heart," said Lisa, "and he is clever; maman likes him very much." "And do you like him?" "He is nice; why should I not like him?" "Ah!" Lavretsky uttered and ceased speaking. A half-mournful, half-ironical expression passed over his face. His steadfast gaze embarrassed Lisa, but he went on smiling.
I'd have all your liberals locked up in custody! and turning at last his full face and whole body towards Fustov, he brought out in a half-plaintive, half-ironical voice: 'I wanted to ask you something, Alexander Daviditch....
