Tuan Reshid, a Faithful and a Hadji, would not want an infidel woman in his harem; and, seeing Abdulla smile sceptically at that last objection, he remained silent, not trusting himself to speak more, not daring to refuse point- blank, nor yet to say anything compromising. Abdulla understood the meaning of that silence, and rose to take leave with a grave salaam.
"My husband propose anything that would contribute to my pleasure or intellectual advancement? Bah! Your story is transparently false at the outset." "Nevertheless," said Kidd, "the scheme was proposed by Socrates. He said a trip of that kind for Xanthippe would be very restful and health-giving." "For me?" cried Xanthippe, sceptically. "No, madame, for him," retorted Kidd. "Ah ho-ho!
"Interpretations of this sort," says Socrates, "are learned sophistries, however popular and usual they may be.... For one who has pulled to pieces one of these mythological forms must, to be consistent, elucidate sceptically and explain naturally all the rest in the same way.... But even if such a labour could be accomplished, it would in any case be no proof of superior talents in the one carrying it out, but only of superficial wit, boorish wisdom, and ridiculous haste.... Therefore I leave on one side all such enquiries, and believe what is generally thought about the myths.
Indeed the story of a fabulously large emerald is as old as the arrival of the first white men in the Archipelago; and the belief in it is so persistent that less than forty years ago there had been an official Dutch inquiry into the truth of it. Yet it is not every woman that would do. She must be young he sighed deeply and insensible to the seductions of love. He shook his head sceptically.
"An island!" cries my uncle. "That's not an island!" I cried sceptically. "It's nothing else," shouted the Professor, with a loud laugh. "But that column of water?" "Geyser," said Hans. "No doubt it is a geyser, like those in Iceland." At first I protest against being so widely mistaken as to have taken an island for a marine monster.

"Perhaps, when certain girls come back in the fall they will be on their good behavior." "Perhaps," repeated Grace sceptically.
"You'll have to 'job' her," said Tim, promptly. "Who would be hired at any price to go up in that country on a ten-mile haul?" demanded Daly, sceptically.

Bayards are not appreciated nowadays. Czeska. Providence is above all. Drahomir. I believe it also. Doctor. Were I a mathematician, without contradicting you I would say that, as in many cases we do not know what X equals, we must take care of ourselves. Prince. What are you saying? Stella.
