Virtue for them is what maketh modest and tame: therewith have they made the wolf a dog, and man himself man's best domestic animal. "We set our chair in the MIDST" so saith their smirking unto me "and as far from dying gladiators as from satisfied swine." That, however, is MEDIOCRITY, though it be called moderation.
But here he suddenly stopped, looking as if he had just said something foolish, then added in softer tones: "But this is not the proper moment to discuss such things." The door was opened and Dr. Chenet appeared. For a moment he seemed bewildered, but regaining his usual smirking expression of countenance, he jauntily approached the old woman and said: "Aha! mamma; you are better to-day. Oh!
I see it all, Karl, and shudder to think of the life that might have been mine. I take no pleasure in seeing gouty old dependents bowing, kneeling, and smirking before me. Of course, these things are my prerogative, and a man born to them may not forego what is due to his birth even though it irks him. But such an existence I will not call it living saps the juice of life.
He stepped down into the street and went into the bank. Braman fawned on him, smirking insincerely. Corrigan had not apologized for striking the blow, had never mentioned it, continuing his former attitude toward the banker as though nothing had happened. But Braman had not forgiven him. Corrigan wasted no words: "Who's the best gun-man in this section?" Braman studied a minute.

Noel Vanstone expressed his high approval of the Crucial Test by smirking and simpering for the first time that morning. "Of looking at her neck," repeated the captain, returning the note to his visitor, and then making for the door. "I will go upstairs myself, Mr. Vanstone," he continued, "and inspect Miss Bygrave's walking-dress.

And, meanwhile, to and fro among the strikers, stalked, arm in arm, the spectres of idleness and starvation, the one smirking openly, the other, as yet, half-veiled. Altogether it was fertile ground.

If I turn you loose I ain't got nothin' only your word an' I've got an idea how much faith I kin put in that." Mr. Trimm glanced about him wildly. There was no escape. He was fast in a trap which he himself had sprung. The thought of being led to jail, all foul of body and fettered as he was, by this filthy, smirking wretch made him crazy.
"There," said he, "play us one of the tunes of Egypt. 'The Rogue's March, eh? and mizzle." Then did Miss Clifford's French maid trip forward smirking with a parasol to mend: Désolée de vous déranger, Monsieur Hope, mais notre demoiselle est au désespoir: oh, ces parasols Anglais!
