Nevertheless, this face expressed more audacity and insolence than cruelty in a word, rather vicious than thoroughly bad, this woman was yet susceptible of some good feelings. "Oh, dear, what have I done to you?" cried Mont Saint Jean. "Why do you treat me so?" "Because it amuses us. Because you are only fit to be tormented. It is your trade.
'I am very fond of Sara, and like to see her, she amuses me so; but when I want advice or sympathy I feel I must come to you now, Ursula. And though she had never said so much to me before, I knew she meant it; that there was some change in her, some want of nature or heaven knows what feminine need, when she missed me, and wanted me, and found some comfort in the thought of me.
"But that doesn't apply to the native?" "No, the Burman does not work; he is merely a spectator. The industry of others amuses him; his chief object is to enjoy life. Well, here is the hotel; let us go in and have a look at your quarters." After the baggage had been disposed of and Shafto's room inspected and criticised, his companion still lingered talking.
Very likely my humour, what little there is of it, is forced enough. I do not care so long as it amuses me and, such as it is, I shall vent it in my own way and at my own time.

"Yes, my friend, I know." "Peste! you are rich." "Do you not see that each of these pieces serves for two? On the contrary, I am so poor that I am forced to cut my gold in two."

"Oh, I am like my brother Henri, who amuses himself in cutting out images: I amuse myself with clipping my ducats."
It amuses him that she should furtively spend money over her own dowdiness, to the annoyance of her husband, and that her husband should have no desire to adorn her, and that her mother should be intolerable. It pleases him that her baby, with enormous cheeks and a hideous rosette in its hat a burlesque baby should be a grotesque object of her love, for that too makes subtly for her abasement.
Toby's face lighted up for a second, and then clouded again. She glanced at him doubtfully. "If Paris amuses you " she ventured. "Paris does not amuse me," said Saltash emphatically. "Have a cigarette, ma chère, while I go and dress." "Can I help you dress?" said Toby, with a touch of wistfulness. "I have put everything ready." His odd eyes flashed her a smile. "Not here, chérie, not now.
"Nor did I ever ask him here. I cannot prevent his coming and lodging at the hotel. I am quite ready to talk to him, because he amuses me, but I am not bound to marry every man who does. Tell Colonel Ormonde so, with my compliments." "I am sure I don't want you to marry De Burgh! He is amusing, and very distingue, but I am afraid he only cares for your money, dear."
