He was chiefly fortunate in being, as certain opponents often strove witheringly to designate him, "the son of his father," since that sound old gentleman was the wealthiest farmer in that section; with but one son and heir to supplant him, in time, in the role of "county god," and haply perpetuate the prouder title of "the biggest taxpayer on the assessment list."
Middleton in the library satisfied him that she had not been renewing her entreaties to leave Patterne. No, the miserable coquette had now her pastime, and was content to stay. Deceit was in the air: he heard the sound of the shuttle of deceit without seeing it; but, on the whole, mindful of what he had dreaded during the hours of her absence, he was rather flattered, witheringly flattered.
"So you can say, so you can say," Sarah snorted. "I wouldn't trade it for a queen's bed," Saxon added. "A jailbird's bed," Sarah rejoined witheringly. "Oh, it's the style," Saxon retorted airily. "Everybody's getting a taste of jail. Wasn't Tom arrested at some street meeting of the socialists? Everybody goes to jail these days." The barb had struck home.
"Oh it makes one just crazy to get married," she had said, witheringly, to Joe one night. Why did he want to marry her, anyway? When she told him she didn't want to wasn't that enough? Was it respectful to treat her refusal as though it were a subtle kind of joke?
Johnson fixed him with his disconcerting eye, and retorted witheringly "Ye thinks ye knows a pile about women, Bird Pigeon. But the kind ye knows about ain't the kind Rosy-Lilly's agoin' to be!" Nearly a week went by before Rosy-Lilly saw another chance to assail McWha's forbidding defences.

'Mr. Soames and I want to have a little talk with you. Won't you sit? Mr. Soames got nothing frankly nothing by his journey this afternoon.

"What does he know of the Holy Tongue?" croaked Melchitsedek witheringly, adding in a confidential whisper to the cigar merchant: "I and you, Schlesinger, are the only two men in England who can write the Holy Tongue grammatically." His beard was, however, better trimmed and his complexion healthier, and he looked younger than ten years ago. His clothes were quite spruce.
He stared at her haughtily as haughtily as is in the power of a mere mortal who has no collar on. "William," she cried bewildered, "what is it?" "I believe you know what it is, Miss Simpson," he replied witheringly, and stalked out under full majesty. She stood dumbfounded; but only for a moment. "Matilda," spoke up Jack, "have you got supper things started yet in the kitchen?"
And be sure," he added witheringly, "you pull the soogans over your head, so you won't hear the dying shriek of our victims. We're liable to get kinda excited and torture 'em a while before we kill 'em." "Aw, gwan!" gulped Happy Jack mechanically. "You make me sick! If yuh think I'm goin' to swaller all that, you're away off!
With a bow, he takes the parchment and turns to quit the scene. It is at this moment, that somewhere or other in the hall, there rises a faint, almost whispered, hiss.
