He said to me the other day, with a sang-froid worthy of the iciest Chillingly, "I mean to be Prime Minister of England: it is only a question of time." Now, if Chillingly Gordon is to be Prime Minister, it will be because the increasing cold of our moral and social atmosphere will exactly suit the development of his talents.
Isobel isn't likely to be exactly a beggar, you know, so it seems devilish queer that you should object, as I gather you do; unless it is to the kissing, which has been heard of before." "I do object most strongly, Sir John," replied Mr. Knight in his iciest tones.
Tracy came forward, and in her iciest tones said to her: 'Good-afternoon, Miss Crawford.

Ramona tried to reason with herself; surely no ill could happen to her, in this room, within call of the whole house.
It was a shabby but commanding figure, and the girls themselves shrank together and waited for the old Latin professor to speak. "Miss Hargrew is quite right," said Professor Dimp, in his iciest tone. "Those hounds must not land here." "I say, now!" growled the sheriff.
