"Are you going to play the baby act?" asked the deputy, half-sneeringly. "Wait until I've had a week of good eating and sound sleeping, and then see if you can find anything babyish about me," snapped the prisoner. Dick Prescott watched the pair, feeling a rising resentment against the deputy.
"On the contrary, I asked him if he meant to imply that I lied." "That may be your version, Cantor," Lieutenant Trent rejoined, "but I have just told you what my testimony will have to be." "What's your interest in this Darrin fellow?" Cantor demanded, half-sneeringly. "Why, in the first place," Trent answered, calmly, "I like Darrin.
And this defiant challenger of the "vitalists," who thus half-sneeringly speaks of those who believe that the vital forces of the universe are among the highest potential factors expressed therein, is one who, for the last decade and a half, has mostly lived in the ephemeromorphic world, and who, in diving into the "beginnings of life," has so far lost his way that the all-glorious end of it is as much an inexplicable mystery to him now, as when he was more successfully expounding pathological anatomy and ruthlessly hacking away at anatomical subjects over the dissecting-slab of the London University College.
"That's arguing that Ransford purposely carried a dose of poison to put into Collishaw's tin bottle!" said Bryce half-sneeringly. "Not very probable, you know, Mitchington." Mitchington spread out his hands. "Well, there it is!" he said. "As I say, there's no denying the suspicious look of it.

"Hanged if I know what you've come for!" he said. "What's the good of it? You may mean well, but " "Oh, Barthorpe, how can you!" exclaimed Peggie. "Of course we've come!

"Did you come to propose any thing for me to do, Sir, or only to inform me that you considered me a reprobate?" asked Abel, half-sneeringly, the smoke rising from his mouth. Lawrence Newt did not answer. "I am like other young men," continued Abel.

They'll tolerate it; but their wives won't; and the kind of women who will receive and tolerate her are not included in my personal experience. What a fool she has been! good heavens, what a fool!" A trifle paler than usual, he said: "There is no real harm in her. I know there is not."
Mallalieu, who was standing on the hearth, warming his broad back at the fire, thrust his hands deeply into his pockets and looked half-sneeringly at his partner out of his screwed-up eyes. "I should advise you to keep yourself cool," he said with affected quietness. "There's more than me'll think a good deal if you chance to let yourself out like that."
