You can stand straight up, Charley, and face the world again." Seaforth laughed wryly. "The trouble is that it isn't the world I care about," he said. "No," said Alton. "Well, for one has to do the square thing, I think I'd chance telling somebody the story you told me though of course you'd have to put parts of it differently." Seaforth made a little gesture of despondency.
The furious possessive jealousy of the male animal, which had nothing to do with love, made him stop and draw himself up as he stared across. Then he smiled wryly and went on. He could do it, but he did not want to. He would never do it. Let them live their lives, and let him live his.
Nellie Townshead smiled somewhat bitterly, for the fact that she had ridden after straying cattle, and done a good many things that women do not usually undertake upon the ranch, had apparently escaped her father's attention. "But is there anything you could do in Vancouver? You have no great knowledge of business," she said. Townshead smiled wryly.
"I have been asking myself," she said, smiling a little wryly, "another question. Is it not possible that this young lady and her husband had a quarrel? Such incidents do occur, even during honeymoons. If the two had a little quarrel he may have left her at our door just to punish her, Monsieur le Senateur. He would know she was safe in our respectable hotel.
"Why, I thought that the only way to know the whole business was to play every part. Didn't you ever deliver packages in person in your early days?" "I can't say that I did!" the father admitted wryly. "Then it seems to me that you missed one of the most entertaining and instructive features," Jack continued.
Scotty turned on his light. They found their shirts, then went back to survey what they had accomplished. One glance told them it wasn't much. They had cleaned out the passage up to the main slide, and that was all. They looked at each other in the flashlight's glow. "Got any earth-moving equipment in your pocket?" Rick asked wryly. "Not a dragline or a clamshell," Scotty said.
"And," he finished wryly, "I brought back an emergency supply of ship provisions for everybody concerned, but find that I'm idiot enough to feel that they'll choke me if I eat them while Dara's still starving." Maril said, "But there isn't any hope for Dara! No real hope!" He gaped at her. "What do you think we're here for?" He set to work to restore his four recent students to consciousness.
"When you hounded the nurse " "Plural noun," amended Brian wryly. "Plural," agreed Joan. "I knew then that the idol had clay feet." Brian groaned. "Haven't you?" "Yes," he said. "And a clay head. But I was never an idol." "Oh, yes you were!" said Joan. "When you gave up your trip abroad to help Don, you became to me a wonderful sort of of selfless young god " "Joan!" He stared at her in panic.
So from now on I'd guess that Johnny will be a very well-behaved little boy in a grown man's body." He said very wryly indeed, "Alicia will be very happy, taking care of him." A moment later he added: "I look at that set-up the way I look at the landscape yonder." Cochrane said nothing. Holden liked Alicia. Too much. It would not make any difference at all.
She was always going up to London to enjoy herself with the various men friends she had made during the War, and the only guests they ever entertained were young men who were more or less in love with her." Janet smiled a little wryly. "There's safety in numbers, and after all she's extraordinarily attractive to men."
