"Compensation for the limitations of a hermit's life," he said lightly. "The life is your own choice," she flashed back at him. "Oh, no, we're not always given a choice, you know. This world isn't a kind of sublimated children's party." She regarded him thoughtfully. "I think," she said gravely, "we always get back out of life just what we put into it." His mouth twisted ironically.
"Oh, I'll look in those careful account-books we kept," he remarked ironically, and then added: "Two rents a good part of the time, clothes, travel why, each of those springs in California cost about four thousand dollars. That darn car was an expense from start to finish. And parties and amusements and oh, one thing or another." They were both excited now and inordinately depressed.
My arms went around her, my lips pressed hers, and felt her tremulous eager answer. The form of Coniston showed at our window. She cast me off. She said, with her throaty swagger of amused, masculinity: "I have him, Sir Arthur. He will obey us." I sensed her warning glance. She shoved me toward the window. She said ironically, "Have no fear, Haljan.
He rose: "I'll turn up two if I have to steal 'em," he declared, reaching for his hat. "That would be too much trouble for one little ride," Kate said ironically. "I'll see what I can do, first. But," she added, basely, "if you want to be sure of catching the train, I should advise you to stay right here. It backs down and doesn't stay but a minute just long enough to hook on to the empties."
He turned ironically to Vedius and asked: "Did you miss any part of what I have just said to Andivius? I meant you to hear every word of it." Vedius, his mean face lead-gray, bowed and said: "Your Majesty was completely audible." Then Commodus similarly questioned Satronius. He, his big face brick-red, his eyes popping out, seemed half strangled by his efforts to speak.
"I will not take any orders; I shall go to Lochias." "To see Antinous in the flames! such a sight is not to be seen every day, to be sure!" cried Verus, ironically, as he sprang into his chariot, and took the reins into his own hand. Balbilla stamped with rage. She went to Sabina's rooms fully resolved to go to the scene of the fire.
"So you've been here a whole hour? Oh, poor fellow!" Zverkov cried ironically, for to his notions this was bound to be extremely funny. That rascal Ferfitchkin followed with his nasty little snigger like a puppy yapping. My position struck him, too, as exquisitely ludicrous and embarrassing. "It isn't funny at all!" I cried to Ferfitchkin, more and more irritated.
Stay, now I'll fit ye with tidings; I spake yesterday with an old man that conceits he is ill-tempered, and sweats to pass for such with others, but oh! so threadbare, and the best good heart beneath." "Why, 'tis a parish of angels," said Margaret ironically. "Then why dost thou keep out on't?" retorted Gerard.
The man in the rowboat smiled. The air was very still. Sounds carry over quiet water as if telephoned. He could not help hearing what was said. "Wise management," he observed ironically, under his breath. The power yacht, it seemed, had not so much as a dinghy aboard. A figure on the deck detached itself from the group and waved a beckoning hand to the rowboat. The rower hesitated, frowning.
Margaret's thin, long lips curved ironically for answer. Hollenby, who seemed to have recollected a purpose, was waiting for her at the library door.... "Ah, my Eros!" Isabella exclaimed with delight, holding forth two hands to a small, dark young woman, with waving brown hair and large eyes that were fixed on distant objects.
