A steward came to him officiously, and patronisingly too, which is the bearing of servants to shabbily-dressed people, but he shook his head, caught his bag smartly away from the steward's fingers, and moved towards the after part of the ship, reserved for intermediate passengers.
'There's an old Latin proverb, said Mr. Ashburn, with a feeling that it was his turn 'an old Latin proverb, "Nec suetonius ultra crepitam." 'No, excuse me, you 'aven't quite got it, Matthew, said his brother-in-law, patronisingly; 'you're very near it, though. But your father's right on the main point, Mark. I don't say you need stick to the schoolmastering, unless you choose.
I blushed when I remembered those dreadful landscapes of mine. I was ashamed to look at Mont Blanc. I felt as if the Matterhorn would fall and crush me." "I think I shall do Switzerland next long," said Rorie patronisingly, as if it would be a good thing for Switzerland. "You might have come this year while we were there," said Lady Mabel. "No, I mightn't. I've been grinding.
Radmore decided that it was Timmy's turn to sit behind, and the boy gave in with a fairly good grace; though after they had left the houses behind them and were again moving swiftly between brown hedges, he called out patronisingly: "The back of your head looks very nice now, Betty quite different to what it looked in that horrid old hat you left in the shop."
Tell him we are very sorry." "Yes, madame." "But he'll never take it. You can't treat the London police like that!" G.J. could not help expostulating as soon as Marthe had gone. He feared some trouble. "My poor friend!" Christine replied patronisingly. "Thou art not up in these things. Marthe knows her affair a woman very experienced in London. He will take it, thy policeman.
It was the shock of being patronisingly addressed as 'my good woman' by a curate, who was disputing with her where the stove should be placed in a parish concert hall that led to the sudden restoration of her memory. 'I think you forget who you are speaking to, she observed crushingly, which was rather unduly severe, considering she had only just remembered it herself."
He lost his way four times, and was patronisingly set right by beneficent policemen; and at last, feeling like a man who has fallen off a precipice on to a soft place—none the worse but quite bewildered—he struggled back to his hotel. There he spun out his time by watching the people come and go, and at last dressed with extra deliberation. About eight o’clock he sat down to his solitary dinner.
"Yes, I have two cousins; one in the Flying Corps and one in a submarine." "Ach so! That is most interesting. Some day you will tell me all about them, will you not? I like to hear about submarines." "Very well," said Sophy, who was busy mixing a pudding according to an elaborate German recipe. "Yes, you are getting on," admitted Frau Wurm patronisingly.
"Well done, Ideala!" said Ralph, patronisingly; "you certainly have a memory, and are quite as good at patchwork as the author of 'Delysle. I could criticise on another count, but taking into consideration time, place, circumstances, and the female intellect, I refrain. That is the generous sort of creature I am.
"If you'll send them to the society editor, I've no doubt he'll be able to use them," he said brusquely. "Right!" said Markel, and coughed, and patted Carruthers' shoulder patronisingly again. "I'll just do that little thing." He picked up the necklace, dangled it till it flashed and flashed again under the light, then restored it very ostentatiously to its case, and the case to his pocket.
