But for all that she raved, Beaumains would not reply in angry words, though his heart burned within him. 'Damsel, said he courteously, 'ye may say what ye will to me, but I will not go from you whatever you say. I have given my promise to King Arthur that I will achieve this adventure for you, and that will I do or die in the trial of it. The girl laughed mockingly.
Then my Uncle Hugh came in, and though I thought that his face darkened as he looked on the naked splendour of her breast and arms, as if he liked not that the eyes of other men should gloat on it, yet he kissed her with all a lover's fond pride, while she looked at him half mockingly. Then said he, "Sweet, will you grant me a favour?" And she answered, "It may be that I will."
Miss Seymour, now like herself as she had appeared first behind the desk at the hotel, only subdued and serious, seemed ill at ease. Dorgan, on the other hand, bowed to her brazenly and mockingly. He was evidently preparing against any surprises which Craig might have in store, and maintained his usual surly silence.
I repeated my efforts; I blew frantically, madly, but all to no purpose; the candle still burned burned softly and mockingly. Then a fearful terror seized me, and, flying to the opposite side of the room, I buried my face against the wall, and waited for what the sickly beatings of my heart warned me was coming.
Then he turned and strode into the anteroom, and she could hear him making fast and locking the outer hall door. Then he withdrew the key, and came back to her. "I must still regard you, of course, as my guest," he said slowly, with his easy menace. "You Europeans always give us lessons in the older virtues!" she retorted, as mockingly as before, in her soft contralto.
Law's first bewilderment had given place to a black rage; for the moment he was in danger of disregarding the reason for "Young Ed's" incivility and giving free rein to his passion, but he checked himself in time. "Would you mind telling me what you and this Urbina were doing?" he inquired, harshly. Austin laughed mockingly. "That's my business." said he. Dave moistened his lips.
"Your misfortune, indeed!" cried Lialia, mockingly. "Ha! Ha!" She pretended to slap him. "Ha! Ha!" Yourii did not perceive that he had already recovered his good humour. Lialia's merry voice and her joy of living had speedily banished his depression which he had imagined to be very real and deep. Lialia did not believe in his melancholy, and therefore his remarks caused her no concern.
She felt the scrub of his little bristly beard, and raised her face with a deep sigh of satisfaction. A voice behind them said mockingly: "Bravo!" There, by the door, stood Fiorsen. "Congratulations, madame! I have long wanted to see you under the inspiration of your master!" Gyp's heart began to beat desperately. Monsieur Harmost had not moved.
"A young girl, sir, desires to see Mr. Gay. She couldn't tell me her business with him." A roar of laughter was heard, in the midst of which Gay looked puzzled and a trifle foolish. "Oh poor Gay, to think thy light damsels cannot let thee alone but must follow thee to my pure Eve-less abode," said Pope mockingly. "Nay, 'tis nothing of the kind. You accuse me unjustly. I know no light o' love.
The boy opened wide, incredulous eyes. "But who would attack a child?" he asked. "There be those, nevertheless," said the man mockingly. "Even a child may stand in the way of great changes." He stopped and stared, wiping the glass clear that he might see better. Nikky without his cap, disheveled and flushed with exertion, was making a frantic shot at the white ball, rolling past him.
