He exhibited the roll of money that was nothing, four times that much could be had from the same source. He was a spender, too, and treated all his friends liberally. Lemuel was to see if there was any wine in the damned jumping-off place; and when would they all go to Atlantic? "Never," Doret repeated. Bowman laughed skeptically.
Neale," she turned to him with a sudden idea, "do you remember how Victor Hugo's 'Waterloo' begins?" "I should say not!" he returned promptly. "You forget I got all the French I know in an American university." "Well, I went to college in America, myself!" "I bet it wasn't there you learned anything about Victor Hugo's poetry," he surmised skeptically.
"But he was with him, that night at the saloon," ventured Miss Lady, sitting up very straight and listening very intently. Gerald smiled skeptically. "He went in out of the rain, my dear lady; that's what he wrote home, I understand; and he didn't indulge in a single drink. Rather a strain on the imagination in the light of subsequent events."
"Don't you think I look as if I might help you make us both comfortable?" was her answer. Brown looked at the plain little white blouse, at the simple blue serge skirt, then on down to the foot which showed below the hem of the skirt. "Is this the sort of shoe that working-women wear?" he inquired skeptically. Helena laughed. "Neither Mrs. Brainard nor I could bring ourselves to that," she owned.
"You stole him back again ain't it?" "Stole him back again!" Morris repeated. "What are you talking nonsense, Kleiman? We wouldn't take that feller back in our store, not if we could get him to come to work for two dollars a week." "Yow!" Kleiman exclaimed skeptically. "I don't suppose you know the feller left us at all?"
Besides, Bright there has been talking to me, telling me all untellable things with those eyes of his." Shorty laughed skeptically. "Go on an' spoil 'em. Pretty soon you'll be manicurin' their nails. I'd recommend cold cream and electric massage it's great for sled-dogs. And sometimes a Turkish bath does 'em fine." "I've never done it before," Smoke defended. "And I won't again.
"But you see I've been reading lately and it seems that there is basis for the story of hidden treasure in Lost Canyon. Lots of people have believed it." "And lots of people have hunted for the treasure and failed," returned Kit skeptically. "Perhaps we won't fail. It's that word 'perhaps' that adds the greatest spice to life.
Wonderful things can be done with music; and when one is given a marked talent for it, as I hear has been the case with you, it is not to be hidden in a napkin." "I don't know what I can do with music, I am sure," Ruth said, skeptically.
I know it. Mebbe I couldn't draw out a house with cubelows and piazzas and jogs and the like o' that, but that ain't what we've got in mind. It's a good old-fashioned house, and I s'pose any man of us could do it, only nobody's got the nerve to try. So I took it into my head to be the one." "Well," said his mother skeptically, "mebbe you can an' mebbe you can't. Good-night, all."
Are you a preacher?" mocked the Younger Man sarcastically. "No more than any old man," conceded the Older Man with unruffled good-nature. "Old man?" repeated Barton, skeptically. In honest if reluctant admiration for an instant, he sat appraising his companion's extraordinary litheness and agility. "Ha!" he laughed.
