Varkar was trying to be icily dignified; Sphabron Larv's black hair was in disarray and his face was suffused with anger. He was pounding with his fist on the plastic counter-top. "You have to!" he was yelling in the older man's face. "That's a public document, and I have a right to see it. You want me to go into Tribunes' Court and get an order?
"It strikes me that there is a slight difference between the work of a high school instructor in history, a specialist in her subject, and the work of an artist's model," I returned icily. "But, laying all that aside, I should have considered myself guilty of a very grave breach of good taste if I had ventured to select a house for the wife of my principal, unasked and unknown to her."
"That is a difficult feat, and I shall have to see it done before I can be convinced that it can be accomplished," he replied, icily, adding: "There are many women in this world who would stand back and watch such a proceeding with the wildest anxiety, I imagine;" this sneeringly. "You shall never marry Iris Vincent!" Dorothy panted. "I I would prevent it at any cost.

You shall not drive; for I intend stopping here as long as I choose until six, seven, or eight o'clock, if I choose." "Stop," she said icily, but her eyes glowed. "Then I'll walk."
"I am capable of tying my own, thank you," she said, so icily that the three playfellows looked at one another and Maurice, reddening sharply, said: "Give us a song, Nelly!" But she sitting with clenched hands and tensely silent, shook her head. She was too wounded to speak.
"Would you like me to read to you," she asked icily. And I said "Yes." And presently her beautiful cultivated voice was flowing along.

I was gazing into the glowing logs, and trying to see visions, and gain any inspiration of how to find a way out of this tangle of false impression.
The figure of a woman, emerging into the full light of the moon, had caught Ruth's attention. Percival turned quickly. Together they watched the figure move swiftly across the Green toward them. Suddenly it stopped, and then, after a moment, whirled and made off down the line of cabins, soon to be swallowed up by the gloom. "Were you expecting some one?" inquired Ruth, icily.
"If you had intended so far to honor us," the old lady replied, icily, "I should have thought that you would have approached the subject with some degree of formality." "Miss Herron!"

He's about as disgruntled as you are over the way the wedding monopolizes everything. He's been up once or twice to see Aunt Hannah and to get acquainted, as he expresses it, and once he brought up some music and we sang; but he declares the wedding hasn't given him half a show." "Indeed! Well, that's a pity, I'm sure," rejoined Bertram, icily. Billy turned in slight surprise.
Bassett Oliver yesterday, sir, we should not be discussing his possible whereabouts now," said Greyle, icily. "Are you coming, Audrey?" The girl hesitated, glanced at Copplestone, and then walked away with her cousin. Stafford sniffed contemptuously. "Ass!" he muttered.
