"He accompanied the Roman." "Has the Senate written to him too?" asked the queen annoyed, and ironically. She turned her back on the officer without any kind of courtesy, and turning again to the chamberlain she went on, in incisive tones, as if she were presiding at a trial: "King Euergetes sits there among the Egyptians near the envoys from the temples of the Upper Country.
His clear, incisive questions, that went through all subterfuges to the root of things, were sometimes like flashes of lightning on a dark night discovering the landscape far and near. He was Dr. Felix Adler, whom I met there for the first time. The passing years have given him a very warm place in my heart. Adler was born a Jew.
It was Grace Harlowe who, in an incisive tone of voice, gave the order to Nora. "Why should I jump back?" demanded Nora, turning a flushed face to her companions. What she saw, however, caused Nora to take a few slow steps backwards. Three revolvers were pointed over her head at the mountaineer. The revolvers were in the hands of Grace Harlowe, Lieutenant Wingate and Elfreda Briggs.
He tried to suppress his desire to shout, and after waiting awhile, said with incisive scorn: "Did you want me to write absurd verses; to sit and look at you for hours to talk to you about your soul?

Braceway began, in quick, incisive sentences: "You're up against it, Morley. You know it as well as we do. And we don't want to trick you or bully you. We're only after the truth. If you'll tell the truth, it will help you and us. Will you give us a straight story?" "Yes," he answered dully, his hands folded, like a woman's, against his body. Braceway put more imperiousness into his voice.

"Nay, nay, Betty, you always do my cousin less than justice. She means well by the child and by us all. Come, come say what is in your mind," he add testily. "Am I at liberty to express myself, sir?" "Of course you are.
The language, formerly so vigorous and incisive, becomes vague, colourless, hesitating; or, very frequently, gets upon stilts and assumes an air of pretentious affectation. The writer has evidently forgotten, in her over-scrupulous regard for the artistic and picturesque, that nothing is so attractive as simplicity.
