How great was his astonishment to find instead of the hoped-for millions a few mortgaged lands, an income of a hundred thousand guilders, and sixty-three creditors who claimed the property." "He should have become one of the commissioners," remarked Weingarten, mockingly. "Perhaps it would have then been easier for him to obtain his possessions."
"Oh, the wisdom of those who are not fools is past understanding! Why do you rake those ashes?" "I have read some of his writings," Alan went on undisturbed, "and if there should be more anywhere I would risk much for the sake of them." Stefano shook his head mockingly, and the bells mocked with him. "You English are mad after gold. They say here that Archiater sold his soul for his knowledge."
One is astonished and a little thoughtful for awhile. My fate is very odd. While the real thing for which alone I care remains enveloped in the most German mist of impossibility. H.'s diplomatic skill has arranged for me all manner of Paris glories, which float before me mockingly like a "Fata Morgana." Heaven only knows what will come of this "Tannhauser" scheme.
"I 'lowed I mout find Starbuck here." "It would be safer for you to meet him where other folks are," Lou spoke up and Peters bowed mockingly.

He bit his lip and looked at her for a moment without replying. Then, with a faint suspicion of a sneer, he said: "You are a socialist perhaps an anarchist!" "Only the ignorant commit the blunder of confounding the two," she retorted. "Anarchy is a disease; socialism is a science." "Indeed!" he exclaimed mockingly, "I thought the terms were synonymous. The world regards them both as insane."
Each one of those minutes he waited so impassively marked the rush of a year's memories. Human hate, primal instinct all but uncontrollable, throbbed in his accelerated pulse-beats. Like the continuous shifting scenes in a panorama, the incidents of his life in which this man had played a part appeared mockingly before his mind's eye.
"Feel wholly comfortable?" mockingly inquired the foreign agent, when he saw the boy's eyes open. "Not especially, thank you," mumbled the boy, dryly.
