We searched him carefully, but he had only a gold watch and some money. On the chance, however, that the watch was Mr. Ostermaier's, although unlikely, we took it. I must say he was very disagreeable, referring to us as highwaymen and using uncomplimentary language. But, as Tish observed, we might as well be thorough while we were about it. For the nonce we had forgotten the other man.
"No, but somebody's turned " began Jack, on the point of saying something uncomplimentary about Sid, but Cora interrupted him. "We had a race, and this is how I that is, we won it," she said with a laugh. Ed stepped out of his car and walked to where Sid's silent machine stood. "Radiator, eh?" he questioned. "A bad break." "That's what.
The trivial concerns of some religious people stand in uncomplimentary contrast to the heroism of the researcher's devotion to his project and to the scientist's devotion to his experiment. Perhaps the purposes of God are more served by them than by us, although by them His purposes may not be served consciously. How can the life of devotion and the acts of devotion be brought together?
On the left of the road leading to Fredericksburg was a large open field extending to the bluff near the river; on the right was a dense thicket of pines and undergrowth. In this we had to form. The Seventh experienced some trouble in getting into line, and many camp rumors were afloat a few days afterwards of an uncomplimentary nature of the Seventh's action.
There is a great criminal lost in you, Lexman." "Thank you," said John. "I am not being uncomplimentary, am I?" smiled the Greek. "I am merely referring to the ingenuity of your plots.

The men shouted with laughter at the ludicrous spectacle he presented, and all kinds of uncomplimentary remarks were made. "Who's your tailor?" asked one. "Is that the latest fashion?" questioned another. Presently Jake raised his hand, and the babel of tongues ceased. "Now, look here, Ben," he began, "this is a nasty job, I know. But it was comin' to ye, an' it had to be done sooner or later.
"Were you there?" cried Anna. "Yes. I always wonder how she can look the same after such adventures," said Mysie. "You know it is much the same as my father's paper in the Scientific World," said Dolores. "Nobody over reads that, so it won't signify," was the uncomplimentary verdict. "And," added Mysie, "Mr. Brownlow would do a history of Rockquay, and that would be worth having."
In spite of himself he was always miffed by the uncomplimentary way in which she disposed of him. His sarcasm was lost upon Zoie. Having finished all she had to say to him, she was now apparently bent upon indulging herself in a first class fit of hysterics. There are critical moments in all of our lives when our future happiness or woe hangs upon our own decision.
Even the hour's fixed two-thirty." "You are prompt and businesslike!" returned the Countess, and again the girl blushed. She did not like to think of her knight of romance being "businesslike" in his haste to make her his wife. But perhaps the Countess didn't mean to suggest anything uncomplimentary. "At what church will the 'ceremony take place' as the newspapers say?" she went on.
Can you wonder that I positively hate Florrie all the time that I'm trying to grind out sugar-coated rhapsodies about her." "Why not give free play to your emotions, and be brutally abusive? An uncomplimentary refrain would have an instant success as a novelty if you were sufficiently outspoken."
