"Proposed? Impossible!" "I don't know about that. He was really in love with her in his fashion which is not yours, or mine." "And she?" "Must have refused him, for he went away in a kind of amazed ruefulness, which even you would have pitied." Maurice looked the reverse of pitiful for a moment. "But that is all supposition," he said. "Granted.
"As for Christie, prudent old fogy that he is, what can he know of our miseries?" said Harry with assumed ruefulness "He has a mansion in Cheyne Walk and a balcony looking over the river, and a vigilant housekeeper who allows no latch-key and turns off the gas at eleven.
"No," said Annette, as the ruefulness of her face relaxed into a smile, "but that isn't all; when I went to eat my lunch, she said she wasn't used to eating with niggers. Then I asked her if her mother didn't eat with the pigs in the old country, and she said that she would rather eat with them than to eat with me, and then she called me a nigger and I called her a poor white mick."
"I like you, Monsieur, at least I did like you before you hurt my fingers so horribly" the tight grasp on her hands relaxed and she drew them swiftly away, rubbing them in mock ruefulness "and I could like you better and better perhaps" her blue eyes flashed a look into his "if you were very nice and polite and give me time to catch my breath! You are such a hurrying sort of person!"
Tell me the truth, Eddy Carroll." Eddy scraped. "I see they did not," said Charlotte, severely. "Eddy, I don't know what papa will say." "I know," said Eddy, simply, with a curious mixture of ruefulness and defiance.

The Young Doctor had only been gone a few minutes when Joel Mazarine entered Burlingame's office.
He spoke with a semi-whimsical ruefulness, and, having spoken, he went to the window and stood there with his face to the darkness. "Hear that jackal, Will?" he suddenly said. "The brute is hungry. You bet, he won't go empty away." "Jackals never do," said Will, with his weary sigh. Nick turned round. "It shows what faithless fools we are," he said.
"Rather the worse for wear and tear!" he remarked with comical ruefulness. "Which? The clothes or yourself?" questioned Bob, as he threw the lynx's carcase to one side. "I guess it's the clothes more than anything else. There's a lot of blood about, but that's the lynx's more than mine."
To the remarkably complete system of underground wires installed by the Garrison Telephone Corps, Lady Hannah Wrynche, on duty at the Convalescent Hospital that was once the Officers' Club, was, upon the Thursday that saw the publication of the string of paragraphs previously quoted from the Siege Gazette, indebted for what she afterwards described with ruefulness as a "heckled morning."
Into his eyes there crept a flicker of amusement tinged with audacity. "I am not so sure of that," he said with pretended ruefulness, feeling in the breast pocket of his shirt. "My cigars are demolished. Were you really so glad to see me as all that?" She looked at him coquettishly through half-closed lids.
