Mackenzie laughed again his harsh, unamused laugh. "All right," he said. "One has to be as delicate as a fine lady talking to fellows like you. It's not worth it. When you live like a savage half your life, you sort of hunger after hearing about things like that people living in the country, falling in love and getting married, and going to church every Sunday all the simple, homely things.
I should find it hard to tell of what I thought of Jim, of Mamie, of our lost fortune, of my lost hopes, of the doom before me: to turn to some mechanical occupation in some subaltern rank, and to toil there, unremarked and unamused, until the hour of the last deliverance.
Every step he heard in neighbouring lobbies, every slammed door, spoiled his attention to the lady's confidences, and he had an uneasy sense that she was not wholly unamused at his predicament, however much his friend. "Delicate considerations, true, but I fear they do not interest Monsieur Soi-disant. How should they indeed? Gossip, monsieur, gossip!

No respectable paper, I needn't say, would care to use such copy as this of yours.... Well, good night.... Oh, by the way, I suppose your brother told you all that?" Hilary said, "I had it from various reliable sources." He stood uncertain, with wavering eyes, despair killing hope. "You will do nothing at all to save your reputation, then?" Urquhart laughed, unamused, with hard eyes.
Untempted by wine, dead to love, unamused by pleasure, indifferent to the arts, despising literature save as means to some end of power, Randal Leslie was the incarnation of thought hatched out of the corruption of will. At twilight we see thin airy spectral insects, all wing and nippers, hovering, as if they could never pause, over some sullen mephitic pool.
"No," said Peter, unamused. "Is he borrowed a gun fum you?" inquired the minstrel, solemnly. "No-o." Peter looked questioningly at the clown through half-closed eyes. "Huh, now dat's funny." Jim Pink frowned, and pulled down his loose mouth and seemed to study.
"We'll make a short cut." Whiteside had stopped to speak to a policeman. "Where's the fire, constable?" he asked. "St. Mary Axe, sir," was the policeman's reply. "A big firm of chartered accountants Dashwood and Solomon. You know them, sir? I'm told the place is blazing from cellar to garret." Tarling showed his teeth in an unamused grin as the words came to him.

For her own gratification she could have wished that something might be acted, for she had never seen even half a play, but everything of higher consequence was against it. "This will never do," said Tom Bertram at last.
At any rate, they don't enjoy themselves here the infamous rich! Leaving this town of unamused citizens immured in domestic tombs, we got on a fine high road still ascending with a spacious open country on either side of it. A spacious open country is a country soon exhausted by a sight-seer's eye.
