As I knew his character and was afraid to make him wait for me, I went up immediately, saluted him and said good morning to him in Spanish. As was customary, when I saluted him, I advanced to kiss the hand which he held out, but just at that moment he withdrew it and, without replying to me, began to chuckle scoffingly.
Then Joan held out her fettered hands sorrowfully toward these unfeeling men and said: "I would rather die than continue so. But if they may be taken off, and if I may hear mass, and be removed to a penitential prison, and have a woman about me, I will be good, and will do what shall seem good to you that I do." Cauchon sniffed scoffingly at that.
In the train that Tuesday morning, Booth elected to chaff his friend on the progress of his campaign. They were seated opposite to each other in the almost empty parlour car. "Buck up, old chap," he counselled scoffingly. "Don't look so disconsolate. You're coming out again at the end of the week."
If we are to escape at all it must be to-night. "'Escape! Rube said scoffingly; 'of course we are going to escape. The question is, Which one of all the ways open to us are we to choose? and he laughed merrily. "'I don't quite see all the ways yet, Rube; however, we shall see what sort of a place we are put in to-night, and can then come to some conclusion. There comes the sun.
He has a fine intellect, I assure you; in fact, he is a writer, and a very learned man." "Heavens! if his style resembles his face!" I said scoffingly. "But who is the other?" "What other?" "That spruce, affected little popinjay over there, who looks as if he had been drinking verjuice." "He is a rather well-born man," she replied; "just arrived from some province, I forget which oh! from Artois.
Your time's come, Henson. Say your prayers." "I can't," Henson whined. "And what have I done?" Merritt rocked heavily on the other's breastbone, almost stifling him. "Wot?" he said, scoffingly. The pleasing mixture of gin and fog in his throat rendered him more hideously hoarse than usual. "Not make up a prayer! And you a regular dab at all that game!
There is but little thinking, or perhaps it is more correct to say but little reflection, in the Bible. There is profound sympathy with a few truths, but ideas are not sought for their own sake. Carlyle is Biblical. It has been said scoffingly that he is no thinker. It is his glory that he is not. What we have toiled after painfully often lies unused.
Here's some more of this mystery for us." "What do you mean, mystery?" queried Tom, scoffingly. "Just listen to this! Here's a newspaper clipping evidently from a Chicago paper which tells about our fitting out the Fortuna for the cruise to the Gulf of Mexico and also hazards the guess that we are young and adventurous spirits evidently seeking the buried treasure on the Gulf Coast."
They were no longer those of a woman but a devil, a horrible, sordid devil that hungered not merely for his soul, but for his flesh and blood. Then, in a second, he understood it all she was a were-wolf, one of those ghastly creatures he had hitherto scoffingly attributed to the idle superstitions of the peasants.
And they who brought Publius's head upon the point of a spear, riding up near enough that it could be known, scoffingly inquired where were his parents and what family he was of, for it was impossible that so brave and gallant a warrior should be the son of so pitiful a coward as Crassus.
