"Yes; from this time." Now stirred his better nature: though not before had he sceptically touched her lips and found them cold, as if the fire had been taken out of them by what they had uttered. He felt that it was no animal love, but the force of a soul drawn to him; and, forgetting the hypocritical foundation he had laid, he said: "How proud I shall be of you!"
And my voice sounded unexpectedly harsh and sharp to my own ears, for I had meant to speak quietly. "I know I know. It it was wrong," he stammered. "I knew I shouldn't and I couldn't help it." "You expect me to believe that?" "It's the truth; I couldn't!" I laughed sceptically; and he flinched, but repeated that what he had said was only the truth.
"I have hopes of getting it put on. Gasco, the impresario, is a member of my club, and he thinks of running a season in the autumn. I had a talk with him yesterday." "I hope I shall live to see it," said Peter sceptically. "I hope you will," said Lancelot sharply.
"So the great kindness that I am to do you is to let you do me a further kindness through your friend?" "No," I protested; "that is where you are mistaken. It isn't benevolence on Doctor Thorndyke's part; it's professional enthusiasm." She smiled sceptically. "You don't believe in it," I said; "but consider other cases.
I will wager that the translation I drew up for my children will be read by his." Maimon happened to be looking over Mendelssohn's shoulder at his charming daughters in their Parisian toilettes.

Hazlitt, a very young man, strongly prejudiced in favour of the new ideas, has given us a notion of the amazement with which he listened to these pieces of Wordsworth, although he was "not critically nor sceptically inclined." Others, we know, were deeply scandalised.
I regard this great and growing fascination of Occidentals for this fair Eastern land and its inhabitants as a long step in the direction of the realisation of the brotherhood of man; that ideal state of things which we hope for so expectantly, longingly, perhaps too often sceptically; that happy time when national prejudices, jealousies, and animosities will have faded into oblivion, when nations by the simple process of studying one another, as Japan has been studied of recent years, will get to understand one another, when the literature and art of nations will be no longer merely national, but world possessions, when wars shall have ceased and the policy of aggression have come to be regarded as an evil thing, when, in a word, the brotherhood of man shall be no longer an idle dream, a mere speculative aspiration which no practical person ever expected to see realised, but an actuality within measurable distance of being accomplished.
"His suicide seems to have been only just in time to escape arrest," he said. "A magician of no high order then," I observed sceptically, "if suicide was his only way of evading the country police." "The police of London and St.
A vigorous and rational optimist such as I myself aim at being. 'Do you? But optimism of that kind must be proved by some effort on behalf of society. 'Precisely the effort I am making. If a man works at developing and fortifying the best things in his own character, he is surely doing society a service. She smiled sceptically. 'Yes, no doubt. But how do you develop and fortify yourself?
She went up to them to try to touch one of the flock, and felt vexed that they all stared sceptically at her kind advances, and then ran pell-mell down the hill.
