"It's a great deal of trouble to send everything," said the clerk, impertinently. "This bundle is too heavy for me to carry," said the widow, deprecatingly. "I suppose we can send it," said the clerk, ill-naturedly, "if you insist upon it." Meanwhile, though he had not observed it, his employer had approached, and heard the last part of the colloquy.
I answered, now I perceived indeed, upon his own confession, that he had meant it ill-naturedly; otherwise it might have passed for a compliment. "For I am free to own," I said, "that I do endeavour to rival Cicero, and am not content with the eloquence of our own day. For I consider it the very height of folly not to copy the best models of every kind.
Those who heard him seemed amused, but Tournier did not deign to notice the raillery, though it was not meant ill-naturedly. An English officer, riding at the side a little in advance, and overheard what was said, looked round on Tournier, and, struck with his soldierly figure, said quietly, "Let us hope it will not be for long."
The King continued to talk only of the Dauphiness; and Madame du Barry ill-naturedly endeavoured to damp his enthusiasm. Whenever Marie Antoinette was the topic, she pointed out the irregularity of her features, criticised the 'bons mots' quoted as hers, and rallied the King upon his prepossession in her favour.
Rorke no longer stood between him and his own flesh and blood, or whether the girl's obstinacy had aroused in him a corresponding desire to carry his point, or whether, as some of the neighbours ill-naturedly said, he thought if the fine little colleen was to go to sarvice at all, she might as well come to him for no wages as to be airnin' from somebody else, remains a mystery; but it is certain that in spite of the unpleasant condition imposed by Roseen, Peter felt a curious glow of pride and pleasure when he assisted Roseen to alight at the door of Monavoe.
She saw it frequently happen, that if one asked the slightest favour of another, it was ill-naturedly refused, and from thence arose tumults and quarrels.
Let me assure you I do not care enough for your sisterhood to do that." The Mother Superior smiled ironically, but not ill-naturedly. "I am very much afraid," she remarked, "that in this matter you care for no one but yourself. There is nothing so selfish as a man in love." "He needs to be," I answered. "But tell me, is Sylvia here?" "Sylvia again," said she, half laughing.
No, no, come and sit down by Madame de Cornuel: she longs to be introduced to you, and is one of the wittiest women in Europe." "With all my heart! provided she employs her wit ill-naturedly, and uses it in ridiculing other people, not praising herself." "Oh! nobody can be more satirical; indeed, what difference is there between wit and satire? Come, Count!"
And do I not include Church every time I abuse the pilgrims and would I be likely to speak ill-naturedly of him? I wish to stir them up and make them healthy; that is all. We had left Capernaum behind us. It was only a shapeless ruin. It bore no semblance to a town, and had nothing about it to suggest that it had ever been a town.
Little Jack and little Jill rub their dirty knuckles into their little eyes, looking ruefully at their bloody little knees, and trot back with the pail. We laugh at them, but not ill-naturedly. "Poor little souls," we say; "how they did hullabaloo. One might have thought they were half-killed. And it was only a broken crown, after all. What a fuss children make!"
