Ponteac raised his tall frame from the mat on which he had been squatted, nodded condescendingly to the governor, and strode haughtily into the square or area of the fort. The other chiefs followed his example; and to Major Blackwater was again assigned the duty of accompanying them without the works.
Little, for her present consciousness of being very much afraid of Hetty, to hear that she herself had inspired a great terror in some one else; and she answered, condescendingly: "I have always wished you well," she hesitated for a word, but finally said, "Sally." "Thank you," said Sally. "I know you did. I never wondered." Mrs. Little was much appeased. She had not counted on such humility.
As the slip-cover came off and revealed the red and green and purple design, Polly glanced at Sary to see the effect made. "Oh, laws! Ah never see'd sech a sofy! Ain't it grand?" breathed Sary, lost in admiration. "Sary, it opens, too!" announced Polly, condescendingly pulling at the strap that moved the spring to turn the half into a low bed. "Well, suhs! What next?
"I'll give you a watch, one day," she said, condescendingly. "A watch." "Here!" Toby's voice changed. He caught her wrist sharply so sharply that Sally almost dropped the watch on the quilt. "What's that?" His tone was so strange that she was surprised, and tried to follow his glance. It rested upon her hand upon the wedding ring. Sally's blood froze.
Mrs McNab was too capable a housewife to allow the noise and odour of culinary preparations to invade the rest of the house; but by this time Margot was sure of her welcome, for scarcely a day had passed by that she had not offered her services, and been condescendingly permitted to shell peas, stone fruit, or whip up snowy masses of cream.
But you know him better than I do." Miss Burke's face lighted at the qualification. Yet her quick intelligence refused to be thus cajoled. "But what would you do in my place? That's what I wish to know." Mary winced. She perceived the proud delicacy of the challenge, and recognized that she had condescendingly shirked the real inquiry. "It is so hard to put oneself in another's place.
She has stood for peace, not conquest, and had been treated condescendingly, like a big booby of a boy at school who is afraid of lads half his size. The secret organization now forming in this country may overthrow the Manchu dynasty, but if it does it will build a Chinese republic and not a new Chinese empire.
Malcolm she favoured with a smile which swelled his heart with pride and devotion. The bold faced countess next appeared; she took the marquis's other arm, and nodded to his guests condescendingly and often, but seemed, after every nod, to throw her head farther back than before.
I sent Rascal out to make inquiry; and he soon obtained intelligence that the good King of Prussia was travelling through the country under the name of some count; that my aide-de-camp had been recognised, and that he had divulged the secret; that on acquiring the certainty that I would enter their town, their joy had known no bounds: however, as they perceived I was determined on preserving the strictest incognito, they felt how wrong they had been in too importunately seeking to withdraw the veil; but I had received them so condescendingly and so graciously, that they were sure I would forgive them.
Roll after roll of blankets did he patiently take down and show to her; nothing suited. For some fifteen minutes this mock sale went on, then the young woman said condescendingly, "Well, I don't intend to buy. I was just looking for a friend." "Wait a moment, madam," cried the clerk. "There is one more blanket left on the shelf. Maybe you will find your friend in it." Murder Will Out
