"Oh, I know you don't believe in 'em any more," he went on. "But let me tell you this I've got one idea right now that would make me five hundred dollars just as easy as that " He snapped his fingers at her as he continued: "Do you hear? As easy as that!" His wife, still skeptical, seemed to pay no heed, so petulantly he inquired: "Why don't you ask me about it?"
Although skeptical, the model decided to tell her "little Frenchman" of this too generous offer, and selected one of the biggest and finest works in the studio. "What did he say?" asked the artist who had made the offer, when the model appeared in a state of great excitement and looking almost as if she had come second best out of a scrimmage.
"In this world," Edith answered, without any trace in her voice of the reproof which Helen half expected, "perhaps you are right. The age is too restless and skeptical for happiness here; but that makes me long the more for it hereafter." "But even in a future life," returned Helen, "I can hardly expect to be happy, since I shall still be myself." "Happiness," was Mrs.
It was long before I could give credit to the tales of bloodshed told by native witnesses, and had I received no other testimony but theirs I should probably have continued skeptical to this day as to the truth of the accounts; but when I found the Boers themselves, some bewailing and denouncing, others glorying in the bloody scenes in which they had been themselves the actors, I was compelled to admit the validity of the testimony, and try to account for the cruel anomaly.
It is he who writes nearly all the learned books and articles, especially of the scientific or skeptical sort; all the articles on Eugenics and Social Evolution and Prison Reform and the Higher Criticism and all the rest of it. But especially it is this strange and tortuous being who does most of the writing about female emancipation and the reconsidering of marriage.
Strange to say, Toby, usually the last to gather his wits together, was on this occasion the first to give expression to his overwrought feelings. "Gee! that's a s-s-screamer you're g-g-giving us, Max," he burst out with. "But what makes you say it's a boy, Max; why not a man, when you're about it?" asked the skeptical Steve. Max held up something he clutched in his hand.
For the first half-hour of the committee meeting, Mary had thus to do battle with the skeptical presence of Ralph Denham, who threatened to have it all his own way. Mary tried half a dozen methods of ousting him. She raised her voice, she articulated distinctly, she looked firmly at Mr. Clacton's bald head, she began to write a note.
Sure you won't have to give it back or that they will tell?" "Of course not! They'd give their own selves away. That's the way such things are always done, y'know. I've an idea that I'll go in seriously for the business by and by. I don't feel any compunction; I'm entitled to every cent of it; in fact, I call it cheap for Bea at a thousand." "But will they really pay you?" Trudy was skeptical.
"Head still ache, William?" he asked, in the tone which he could make a fair substitute for a caress. "Yes," said Billy Louise, and did not look at him. Ward was inwardly skeptical, but he did not tell her so. He swung off his horse, set down the pail of currants, and took Blue by the bridle. "You go on in. I'll unsaddle," he commanded her quietly.
Laurence was skeptical. "He doesn't have to say so. He means to be it, and that's very much more to the point. However, it happens that he did peep, once or twice, and it buzzed about a bit and that's how I happened to catch it in my net. This Johnny he's just got to help him is the first move. Private Secretary now. Campaign manager and press agent, later.
