Hardly believing his ears, Trenholme walked off by her side. No wonder Police Constable Farrow was surprised. And still less room was there for wonder that Hilton Fenley, driving with Winter from the station, should shout an imperative order to Brodie to stop the car when he saw the couple in the distance. "Isn't that Miss Sylvia?" he said harshly, well knowing there could be only one answer.
He kissed the pure young lips and drank in greedily their exquisite sweetness, then he said somewhat less harshly: "You are too pretty, my dove, to put on those modern airs of emancipated womanhood. If you only knew how much better you please me like this, than when you try to argue with me, you would always use your power over me, you little goose."
As it happened, the thing worked with disconcerting abruptness as his untrained fingers fell hapchance on the spring. A sudden glare again smote him in the face, and at the same instant, from a point not a yard away, apparently, an inarticulate cry rang out upon the stillness. "Who's that?" he demanded harshly.
"I refuse!" the Professor replied harshly. "And I insist," Quest muttered. The Professor drew a little breath. He sat back in his chair. His face became still, his lips were drawn closely together. Lenora wheeled up the machine and with deft fingers adjusted the fittings on one side. Quest himself connected it up on the other. The Professor sat there like a figure of stone.
Bunyan's prison life when the first bitterness of it was past, and habit had done away with its strangeness, was a quiet and it would seem, not an unhappy one. A manly self-respect bore him up and forbade his dwelling on the darker features of his position, or thinking or speaking harshly of the authors of his durance.

"I am not drunk, sir," replied M'Leod, calmly, on being harshly charged with that offence by Colonel Maberly.
"Sometime I will reward them." "Now," continued Tutmosis, "we take from thy treasury, for want is oppressing us; the nomarchs do the same. If they had means they would give feasts and receptions at their own cost; but as they have not the means they receive recompense. Wilt Thou call them rogues now?" "I condemned them too harshly. Anger, like smoke, covered my eyes," said Ramses.

Possibly it will make you forget your troubles, you little fool.” “Oh, I thank you for your offer; but I don’t want to go,” replied Dorothea snappishly, and left the room. Yet Dorothea said the next day at the dinner table that she was going to accept the invitation.
"So the fool has told it here?" harshly. "Bah! let him rot here, then; fool!" "But he has said nothing; no one knew till . . ." "Oh! then it was not Monsieur le Comte who spoke?" "Monsieur le Comte?" "That is the title which my son bears." "Good God, Monsieur, then what is all this about?"
