And one may discover the different temper of each of them in their speeches. For Demosthenes's oratory was, without all embellishment and jesting, wholly composed for real effect and seriousness; not smelling of the lamp, as Pytheas scoffingly said, but of the temperance, thoughtfulness, austerity, and grave earnestness of his temper.
"Wronged you! why, after all, with what have I charged you?" said he, scoffingly; "but let that pass. I have formed my opinions, arrived at my conclusions. If I have not named them broadly, you at least seem to understand their nature thoroughly. I know the world. I am no novice in the arts of women, mademoiselle.
Greville, who without much self-denial, the night being very cold, kept his station before the chimney-piece, he exclaimed: "If it were not for depriving the ladies of the fire, I should like to stand upon the hearth myself." A smile gleamed upon every face at this pointed speech. Mr. Greville tried to smile himself, though faintly and scoffingly.
With the remnant of his army he marched rapidly through Galatia, where meeting with king Deiotarus, who, though he was very old, was about building a new city, Crassus scoffingly told him, "Your majesty begins to build at the twelfth hour." "Neither do you," said he, "O general, undertake your Parthian expedition very early." For Crassus was then sixty years old, and he seemed older than he was.
"Couldn't we lock him up in the cloisters, as we locked up Ketch, and that lot; and leave him there all night?" proposed Berkeley. "But there'd be getting the keys?" debated Mark Galloway. "As if we couldn't get the keys if we wanted them!" scoffingly retorted Bywater. "We did old Ketch the other time, and we could do him again.
The poor woman went on to say that when she went to her creditor to implore a little delay, he had scoffingly told her to send her pretty daughter to him to plead her cause. Mademoiselle de Laurebourg was disgusted at this narrative, and her eyes gleamed with anger. "I will see this wicked man," said she, "and will come back to you at once." She drove straight to the Counsellor's house.
In this juncture, Decimus Brutus, surnamed Albinus, one whom Caesar had such confidence in that he made him his second heir, who nevertheless was engaged in the conspiracy with the other Brutus and Cassius, fearing lest if Caesar should put off the senate to another day, the business might get wind, spoke scoffingly and in mockery of the diviners, and blamed Caesar for giving the senate so fair an occasion of saying he had put a slight upon them, for that they were met upon his summons, and were ready to vote unanimously, that he should be declared king of all the provinces out of Italy, and might wear a diadem in any other place but Italy, by sea or land.
Amarilly listened eagerly for Bobby's answer which brought a sigh of relief. "I wouldn't wear one of them rigs on a bet," he had scoffingly answered. "One hundred and twenty-five dollars," Bud now replied modestly. "Gee! you take the cake!" said Bobby. Amarilly was sorry that she had to call Bobby's name next. But Bobby had a surprise in store for them all.
