I told him good in a monosyllable, and sent him away. I know not if these movements, upon which all eyes were fixed, began to frighten the Duc du Maine, but no sooner had M. le Duc joined the Regent, after quitting me, than the Duc du Maine went to speak to the Marechal de Villeroy and to D'Effiat, both seated at the end of the room towards the King's little door, their backs to the wall.
"Jones!" he retorted with such astounding emphasis that the monosyllable fairly exploded in the other's face. "Well, well, well," said the elder man, his aspect suddenly mollified. "Don't bite me. What kind of a Jones are you, and what do you want of me?" "Ordinary variety of Jones. I want to now about your dog." "Reporter?" "No." "Glad of it. They're no good. Had my reporters on this case.
He groped backwards for a chair and dropped into it. "Still living! Are you are you sure?" So it was not that she did not love him. His first thought was one of utter relief thank God, it was not that! She put the little silver box down with a sort of impatience. "Yes," she said. She spoke so softly he could hardly catch the monosyllable. Challoner leaned his head in his hands.
'Yes, she whispered back, compelled to the answer, subservient to his touch, to his words, and, to the full, conscious of her subservience. She felt the big breath he drew in answering her monosyllable. He held her unresisting, passive in his arms, watching her cheeks fire.
"Yes" a bare, echoing monosyllable. He stepped to one side to let Firio and his little cavalcade pass. All the while she continued to look at him through the screen of her half-closed lashes in a way that set her repose and charm apart as something precious and cold and baffling.

"Well, Rastignac, have you seen Lucien? He has come out in a new skin." "If I were half as good looking as he is, I should be twice as rich," replied the fine gentleman, in a light but meaning tone, expressive of keen raillery. "No!" said the fat mask in his ear, repaying a thousand ironies in one by the accent he lent the monosyllable.
Indeed, crime is simply a convenient monosyllable which we apply to what happens when the brain and the heart come into conflict and the brain is defeated. That transaction of the matches was a crime, you know. Lastly, the culture of the brain must result in the habit of originally examining all the phenomena of life and conduct, to see what they really are, and to what they lead.
