"Beneath what?" interrupted Randal, witheringly. "What I was or what I am? Speak out!"

Be quick, say the worst or the best!" cried Randal, fiercely.
She had once or twice received the electrical stimulus, to feel and be as lightning, from a seizure of facts in infinitesimal doses, guesses caught off maternal evasions or the circuitous explanation of matters touching sex in here and there a newspaper, harder to repress completely than sewer-gas in great cities: and her mother had seen, with an apprehensive pang of anguish, how witheringly the scared young intelligence of the innocent creature shocked her sensibility.
"I seem to remember that for the past few years you've been talking of the happy day when you could retire and learn to play golf." "Golf!" Cappy glanced at Mr. Skinner witheringly. "Skinner," he continued, "don't be an ass! Golf is an old man's game and I belong with the young fellows.
Evan complimented him by asking a question: saying that Jack's luck certainly was wonderful. 'Wonderful, you call it, said Jack, witheringly. 'And what's more wonderful is, that I'd give up all for quiet quarters in the Green Dragon. I knew I was prophetic. I knew I should regret that peaceful hostelry. Diocletian, if you like. I beg you to listen. I can't walk so fast without danger.

"Did you hear that?" she cried, appealing to anyone. "You're a nice lot o' men, you are, to sit there and hear a woman insulted, and not one of you man enough to take her part cowards!"
"Rose," said she indignantly, "did you bow to that man?" "He is our neighbour next door," mumbled Rose. "I know that. So is the wood-carter. But is that a reason why you should bow to him? Do you know who those people are?" "They are perfectly respectable people, I believe," said Rose, growing restive. "DRAPERS," said Frances witheringly. "I shouldn't care if they were chimney-sweeps.
Her little figure absolutely quivered with dignity, and though physically she was shorter than her pupil, morally she seemed to tower yards. She fixed her clear dark eyes in a kind of hypnotic stare on Ingred and remarked witheringly: "That will do! I don't allow any girl to speak to me in this fashion! You'll take a cross for conduct as well as losing the five order marks.

I owe him eighty dollars of that money, and he says he 'll give me six months to pay it." "I 'm glad he has some small virtues," Polly replied witheringly. "Now, what can we do, Edgar? Let us think.
"Were you not afraid of meeting the Pirate? I heard he was abroad last night," I said. "Afraid!" he remarked witheringly. "Afraid! All I am afraid of is, that some of your Scotland Yard friends will be beforehand with me in his capture, and that is an adventure which has a particular appeal to me, since he left his mark upon me here." He tapped his shoulder significantly.
The absence of a cook in the house, Rosamund remarked, must prevent her from seconding Captain Beauchamp's invitation. He turned on her witheringly. 'The telegraph will do that. You're in London; cooks can be had by dozens. Madame de Rouaillout is alone here; she has come to see a little of England, and you will do the honours of the house.
