Stanton was too old an explorer not to have calculated each step of the way, as far as any white man's story or black man's rumour described it. And he talked stoically of the depletion of his ranks. It was only his own failure or death which appeared to be for him incredible.
Here the rector was interrupted by sobs from the kneeling group in mourning garments, whom the Abbe Gabriel recognized, by this show of affection, as the Tascheron family, although he did not know them. These persons, stoically erect like statues, in their old darned clothes, were doubtless the grandfather and the grandmother of the criminal.
It was a pity, he said, to waste the men's morale in that way and keep their minds on the stretch for hours and hours. "I can't help it; I have no orders," the colonel stoically replied. They had another glimpse of General Douay as he flew by at a gallop, followed by his staff.
He happened, moreover, to be employed in coiling down a rope in the capacity he had reverted to while his supplanter received the rating; but he eyed the ceremony stoically and without resentment.

Repeating these two last words very often, as if to compensate for the little resolution he was going to show by piquing himself on the great resolution he had shown, Gabriel Varden quietly turned back, determining to get a light at the Maypole, and to take nothing but a light. He tried to look stoically at the tavern, but his features would relax into a look of fondness.

I was suddenly convinced that there had been no raid and said so. "I'm sure there's nothing to be afraid of," I insisted stoically. "Remember, we've heard only three cannon shots, or sounds like shots.
This terrible punishment Sonny took stoically, caring only to protect the tender under part of his body and his eyes. His close grip on the base of the animal's neck shielded his eyes, and, according to the custom of his tenacious breed, he never relaxed his hold for a moment, but kept chewing in, chewing in, inexorably working his way to a final, fatal grip upon the throat.
