Fatty nodded. "Beneath the salt," said Slim. "Above it," came Fatty's correction. "I was born above it, and I've never travelled second class. First or steerage, but no intermediate in mine." "Yourself?" Whiskers queried of Slim. "In broken glass to the Queen, God bless her," Slim answered, solemnly, without snarl or sneer. "In the pantry?" Fatty insinuated.
To get all and give nothing was, in his opinion, to accomplish the legitimate aim of a man's life. And his friends, those who had dared to sneer and to whisper, and to imagine that he was selling his daughter for money, now knew the truth and were here to witness his ingenuity. Intoxicated by his triumph, he began to show off his power over the Inglese for the benefit of the tramplers behind.
"Oh, I shall always be happy," says Tita; "and I shall hurry back to see you," giving her another hug. Then somebody puts her into the carriage, and, still smiling and waving her hands, she is driven away. "Really, Margaret, you should be flattered," says Lady Rylton, with a sneer. "She seems to think more of you than of her husband."
"Do you s'pose it's safe? I never saw a man bet so reckless. I guess I'd better quit, eh?" He noted the sneer on the woman's face, and without waiting a reply dashed off again. They saw him clamorously fight his way in towards a post at the roulette-table. "Let me through! I've got money and I want to play it!" "Pah!" said Mullins, disgustedly.
Warren's disgust increased. Jim Strain was a close friend of his brother's, and anyway he considered it bad form to sneer at people for not having money. But Bernice had had no intention of sneering. She was merely nervous. When Marjorie and Bernice reached home at half after midnight they said good night at the top of the stairs. Though cousins, they were not intimates.
Fitch in the counting-room?" asked our hero of the clerk. "Yes, but he's busy." "I will wait, then." "Can't I attend to your business?" "I think not." "Your business must be very important," said the clerk, with a sneer. "I don't know about that," said Jasper, composedly, "but I think if you will tell Mr. Fitch that Jasper Kent is here he will receive me."
Eden took no notice of this impertinence, but to the surprise of all there he strode between the victim and his tormentors, and said sternly, "Do you know that you are committing an illegal assault upon this prisoner? "No, I don't," said Hawes, with a cold sneer. "Then I shall show you. Here are the printed rules of the prison; you have no authority over a prisoner but what these rules give you.
She felt the blood leave her face, the tension crisping her muscles; she sat up very straight and slender among the cushions and defied him. "What do you think you know?" she tried to sneer, but her voice shook and failed. He said: "I'll tell you. For one thing, you're playing fast and loose with Dysart. He's a safe enough proposition but what is that sort of thing going to arouse in you?"
Said Perion, "You speak in this fashion of the most lovely lady God has made of her whom the world adores!" "Adores!" the bishop answered, with a laugh; "and what poor gull am I to adore an attested wanton?" Then, with a sneer, he spoke of Melicent, and in such terms as are not bettered by repetition. Perion said: "I am the most unhappy man alive, as surely as you are the most ungenerous.
"What an unfortunate man I am!" exclaimed Marvel, turning to his cousin Wright, whom he had summoned along with Goodenough, in the pride of his heart, to view, value, and admire his sheep. "All your sheep, Wright, are fat and sound: mine were finer than yours when I bought them: how comes it that I am so unlucky?" "Jack of all trades, and master of none!" said Goodenough, with a sneer.
