Naturally, a request which involved him into sanctioning in a way a proceeding which he had been sent by his wife to oppose, must have appeared sufficiently mad to Fyne. "Me! Me, of all people in the world!" he repeated portentously. But I could see that he was frightened. Such want of tact! "He knew I came from his sister. You don't put a man into such an awkward position," complained Fyne.
"I am," said Levy, opening uncompromising lips that entirely disappeared again next instant.

"You said 'seven' just now," interrupted Raffles, but in the voice of a man who was getting a fright. "You also said 'blackmailing," added Dan Levy portentously.
Stowe has recorded a revolution in shoe-buckles, portentously closing in shoe-roses, which were puffed knots of silk, or of precious embroidery, worn even by men of mean rank, at the cost of more than five pounds, who formerly had worn gilt copper shoe-buckles.

A charming smile spread itself over Jane's finely-cut face. "I'm so glad to meet you," she said. "I have heard so much about you."
Kennicott was yawning, more portentously. The room smelled stale. She shrugged and became chatty: "You were speaking of Dr. Westlake. Tell me you've never summed him up: Is he really a good doctor?" "Oh yes, he's a wise old coot." You see there is no medical rivalry. She hung her silk petticoat on a closet hook, and went on, "Dr. Westlake is so gentle and scholarly "

"I suppose you know what what you've done?" suggested Miss Greene. She spoke in a sepulchral tone; it chilled poor Mr. Korner to the bone. "It is beginning to come back to me, but not not very clearly," admitted Mr.
I repeat it distinctly. Your son was utterly disgusted your son apologized." Urbain de Bellegarde was frowning portentously, and Newman supposed he was frowning at poor Valentin's invidious image.
