I supposed you had already accomplished that much, for you told me did you not? that Patricia has just accepted you?" "Yes, and that's the devil of it!" was the unexpected astounding reply. Beatrice moved farther away from him, and took her hand from his grasp, in well-simulated horror of what he had said.
One of the actors suddenly stopped in the middle of his rôle, and gazing up the river, screamed out the now familiar by-word, 'Shui lai-la! This repetition of the stock jest, with well-simulated terror, as it seemed to the merry-makers, drew shouts of laughter; but the echoes of the laugh were drowned in the roar of a deluge.
Oh, there you are, Rupert," a well-simulated blandness invading her voice; "and what's Fanny Fitz doing?" "She's trying to do a Mayo man over a horse-deal," replied Mr. Rupert Gunning. "A horse-deal!" repeated Mrs. Spicer incredulously. "Fanny buying a horse! Oh, impossible!" "Well, I don't know about that," said Mr. Gunning, "she's trying pretty hard. I gave her my opinion "
"Oh," she laughed easily and with well-simulated amusement, "I should fancy from the contemptuous things I have heard you men say about Paul, you would regard him as quite harmless." "Paul!" repeated the man accusingly. "When did you begin calling him by his first name? Does he call you Loraine, too?" "Why not? We are friends."
It's almost tea time," she exclaimed with well-simulated innocence. "Waiting for you," he replied, accusing her innocence with a stare so bold that she blushed. "That was kind of you. Get in!" she said, thrusting the door of the car open and making room for him on the seat.
Then the brutal wrong of Allison's accusation, told her with such well-simulated sympathy and reluctance, but with such exquisitely feminine stab in every sentence; the collapse, the struggle, the suffering, the half-reluctant convalescence and the sudden sunshine of that afternoon when he turned from the carriage of the girl to whom he was declared engaged, let her drive away without another glance, and stood there, tall and stalwart and manly, his soft brown eyes fastened on her face, hers, Jenny Wallen's, a penniless, motherless, homeless working-girl.
As a matter of fact, her indifference so piqued him that before he was conscious of his words he had asked somewhat lamely: "You wish me well? We part as friends?" Nina regarded him with well-simulated surprise, and replied: "Why, of course the best of friends. Good luck, amigo!" And with that she rose and left him.
"Sometimes I'm almost tempted to drop politics," he went on, "and go in for the spoils. What do you think?" She was taken completely off guard.

"I don't know," said she, with well-simulated indifference, as if her mind were more than half on her own letter.
Was it true, was it reality this figure that the underworld knew as Smarlinghue, who sat here, and with dirty fingers played with a whisky glass on the cheap, liquor-spotted table, and out of half-closed, well-simulated drug-laden eyes gazed on those dancing figures out there on the floor to whom the law from cradlehood had been a natural enemy, and to the door of hardly one of whom but lay crimes that ranged from the paltry to the hideous!
"Say, Runt" he jerked his head toward the street door "wot's de fly cops doin' out dere?" The grin vanished from the Runt's lips.
