"Well, is your work finished?" asked the old man, in the unctuous tones peculiar to men of the ancient aristocracy. And with these words he gave a sardonic smile, as if for commentary. "Very nearly, sir," I replied. "I have come to the philosophic situation, which you appear to have reached, but I confess that I "
Le Moyne, tired, hungry, suavely sardonic. "He was," she assured him, "a gentleman of the old school. He would know how to receive a lady's request and honour it." And Le Moyne rose to the occasion. A large benevolence sat upon his brow, as assuring her that, though he ran the risk of discharge for her fair sake, yet should she have her will. He asked if she had ever seen a Daly contract.

'Oh! say not so, but recall your cruel words! exclaimed Mary Hamilton, as she rushed into Rowland's presence from the inner apartment.
"I conjectured as much!" replied La Corriveau, with a sardonic smile which showed her small teeth, white, even, and cruel as those of a wildcat.

To say that this moral victory cost him nothing would be to deprive it of merit. It cost him many internal struggles.

You will be furnished with paper and ink for the purpose. In the meantime, the padre will visit you, and you will be wise to make a clean breast to him." The man spoke with a sardonic grin on his countenance, which would have been very trying had I not fully expected to disappoint him. Leaving me an ample supply of provisions, he went away, chuckling at my fancied alarm.
