Some of my finest observations on life have been prompted by my acquaintance with you." "I'm glad we are of some account in the world," grinned Sara. "I'd really quite forgotten about you, Emma. Thank you so much for reminding me." "Oh, not at all," Emma beamed patronizingly upon her. "No matter how much others may malign you, I am still your friend."
Bane said that she scarcely noticed Lawford Tapp who passed and bowed to her, only inclining her head in return. Therefore she did not catch the expression on Lawford's face. "A fine-looking young fisherman," observed Mr. Bane patronizingly. "Yes. Some of them are good-looking and more intelligent than you would believe," Louise rejoined carelessly.
Macedonia might be described, indeed, as the very quintessence of the near eastern question. With brakes a-squeal we slipped down the long, steep gradients to Florina, where Greek gendarmes, in British sun-helmets and khaki, lounged at the street-crossings and patronizingly waved us past.
"But you do well, youngster," said Will, patronizingly. "Try that twist once more that you tripped Archie up on. That's a good one! Now, again! That would fetch anybody if they weren't expecting it."

"We'll shake up the speculating crowd," Leon Guggenhammer proclaimed jubilantly, as they rose to go.

You probably never buried a bear before," she added, as patronizingly as if she herself had been a professional grave-digger, "and you don't know what a piece of work it's going to be." They started to push their way through the scrub-oaks. "Shall I lead your horse for you?" Sir Bryan asked.
However, the two combatants stripped "to the buff," and Fleming patronizingly took position at the "corner," leaning upon a rifle, which, by reason of his superior years, and the wilderness he was obliged to traverse in going to school, his father had lent him to carry. It was that day a providential weapon. Suddenly, Fleming uttered the word, "Sho!"

Stella leaned over and patted her hand patronizingly. "Silly little girl!" she said.
