Miss Pilgrim made a satirically low courtesy and spoke in a modest but distinct voice: "I really must be excused for asking.
Wha kens? He heaved a sigh, but his eye twinkled satirically, 'The hairt o' man is deceitfu' an' daisperitly wicked, and he lifted the whites of his eyes heavenward like a hound mourning. 'Was the poor man robbed? I inquired shortly. 'Ay, was he, returned my uncle; 'he was seemingly stuffed wi' bank-notes for payin' his men the day. He was gangin' hame after supper gey fou, maist like.
The little imps were clad in shoes, night-gowns, night-caps, and a blanket apiece, and were shivering and whining at being turned out of bed into the night air. Ransome asked the man what was the matter One of the by-standers laughed, and said, satirically, Ousely dam was to burst that night, so all the pigs and children were making for the hill.
Again she had invoked her Maker because Dick would shiver at the impropriety. "No violence," she thought satirically, remembering he was himself the instigator of violence in verse.

"Ah! it must be a precious important work, no doubt," said his brother satirically. "Just tell us what it is, and we shall be able to judge."
"The daughters of Philotas, Klea and Irene," continued Publius with imperturbable coolness, "are to have the confiscated estates of their parents restored to them." "Then your sweetheart's beauty does not satisfy you!" interposed Euergetes satirically. "It amply satisfies me.
"You have that already." She looked at him satirically. "Do you know you're a terrible humbug?" she said. "And are not you?" "No; I think I show myself very much as I really am." "Can a woman do that?" he said, with sudden moodiness. "It depends. Mrs. Ackroyde can and Lady Wrackley can't." "And Lady Sellingworth?" he asked. "I'm afraid she is a bit of a humbug," said Miss Van Tuyn, without venom.
