Sylvia took a rapid glance at the hundred-pound-note, and twisting it into her little pocket with apparent sangfroid, though she held it with a tight grasp, murmured that it was quite unnecessary, and then offered to give her new lodger an acknowledgment of it. "That is really unnecessary," he replied.
Bridget reappeared on the scene with the same sangfroid as she had left it. She had no intention of quarrelling with the Farrells whatever they might do; and in an eminently satisfactory interview with Sir William quite unknown to Nelly she allowed him to give her a cheque which covered all their expenses at Torquay. Meanwhile Nelly had discovered Cicely's secret which indeed was not very secret.
Would not begin with simple things because he was not a child. And when he could not understand difficult ones, flung the papers on the floor and stamped on them, vowing he would never do English again. I smiled and said: "Very well. Don't. It does not matter to me. Goodbye." To which he would exclaim: "Good God, what fish blood. But with your sangfroid you are a born Professor.
Michael never spoke to her beyond a casual word and at length they all went back to the ball-room, where an extra was being played Michael, for a moment, standing by her side. Then a sudden madness came to them as their eyes met, and he held out his arm. "This is my dance, I think, Mrs. Howard," he said with careless sangfroid, and he whirled her away into the middle of the room.
Agnes, who was moved by the news out of all her ordinary sangfroid, was outraged by what seemed to her Rose's callousness. She wrote a letter to Catherine, which Catherine put among her treasures, so strangely unlike it was to the quiet indifferent Agnes of every day.

Sangfroid, in motherhood and marriage the result of an adulteration in mixing, had been more than a bit discombobulating at the times when they occurred and they were even discombobulating now; but then and now she tried to address them as external details like an uncomfortable raincoat that she would wear for a time during a storm which she wouldn't be able to wait out.
But for you I should not have known it. This will give you an idea of the man and his sangfroid!" "I am not surprised at his having the agility of a wildcat," replied Gilbert; "but I suspect the sangfroid is feigned, and that his placidity of face is a mask which hides a very passionate soul." "Passionate is not the word, or at least the doctor knows only the passions of the head.
Their leader, Atotarho, Grand Chief of Oka, stood erect and silent, an expression of warlike fierceness on his face. "Atotarho!" exclaimed the merchant. "It is I," the Grand Chief answered. "Where is the young man?" "Here," replied Germain, stepping forward with a sangfroid which pleased his father. He faced the powerful Indian.
In her dealings with her fellow-creatures she exhibits all the sangfroid and self-possession that mark the modern child. She will be a "handful" some day, the Twins tell me, and they ought to know.
