Again she was silent for some moments, as if struggling with herself. Then she looked at him a long, strange, dark look, incomprehensible, and which he did not like. "You don't want emotions? You don't want me to say things, do you?" he said. A faint ironic smile came on her face. "I know what all that is worth," she said, with curious calm equanimity. "No, I want none of that." "Then ?"
"But she will see you, Miss Wrandall if you don't mind waiting. It is a business conference they're having." An ironic gleam appeared in the corner of Vivian's eye. "Oh," she said, and waited. Hetty smiled uncertainly. All at once the tall American girl was impressed by the wistful, almost humble look in the Englishwoman's eyes, an appealing look that caused her to wonder not a little.
Eastern Europe and especially central Europe is the EU's natural reservoir of migrant labor. It is ironic that xenophobic and anti-immigration parties hold the balance of power in a continent so dependent on immigration for the survival of its way of life and institutions. The internal, common, market of the EU has matured.
But I daren't ever take the risk of wearing a low gown!" "But how did you get it?" ejaculated Susan. "Are you taking something for it?" "No, love," Mary continued, in the same, amused, ironic strain, "because I've been traveling about, half my life, to get it cured, Germany and France, everywhere! And there ain't no such animal! Isn't it lovely?" "But how did you get it?"
The Baron gave to Herr Haase the compliment of a glance that took in the grey coat and the cloth boots, and the ghost of an ironic, not unkindly smile. "Der gute Haase," he murmured, and then, as though in absence of mind, "Poor fellow, poor fellow!" His foot was upon the step of the car when he saw the leather suit-case within. He paused in the act of entering.
He has not Snorre's appreciation of the humorous side of the mythology. He is ironic and scornful, but without the kindly, naive fun of the Icelander. Cf. "Hyndla-Lay", where it is said of Woden: "Let us pray the Father of Hosts to be gracious to us! He granteth and giveth gold to his servants, He gave Heremod a helm and mail-coat, And Sigmund a sword to take.
He snatched the curtains from the Arizonian and gathered them tightly together. "I'll thank you not to be so familiar," he said shortly from behind the closed curtains. "I beg your pahdon, your royal highness. I should have had myself announced and craved an audience, I reckon," was Bucky's ironic retort; and swiftly on the heels of it he added. "You make me tired, kid."
Prince Andrew looked silently at Pierre with an ironic smile. "When you see my sister, Princess Mary, you'll get on with her," he said. "Perhaps you are right for yourself," he added after a short pause, "but everyone lives in his own way. You lived for yourself and say you nearly ruined your life and only found happiness when you began living for others. I experienced just the reverse.
"Perhaps you borrowed a pair of wings from the Englishman?" Stuart made no reply. But this ironic fencing was not to Leborge's taste. He broke in, abruptly, "You spy on us once, Yes! You spy on us again, Yes! You spy no more, No!" He made a rough gesture, at which one of the Cacos dashed upon the boy, pinned his arms to his sides and harshly, but deftly, tied him securely with a rope.
We could gesture surreptitiously to him.... My thoughts ran on. Argo's soft, ironic voice brought me out of them. "We will answer the first call that comes," he said smilingly. "You understand? We are the Inter-Allied News on Official Dispatch." He was addressing me, his glance going to the insignia on my cap. "You are of the Inter-Allied?" "Yes," I said. "What's your name?"
