She was monumentally stout and imperturbably serene. Her aspect was to Newman almost formidable; he had a troubled consciousness of a triple chin, a small piercing eye, a vast expanse of uncovered bosom, a nodding and twinkling tiara of plumes and gems, and an immense circumference of satin petticoat. With her little circle of beholders this remarkable woman reminded him of the Fat Lady at a fair.
"I am," she returned as bluntly, "but I think that's rather an impertinent question, Mr. Fyfe." He passed imperturbably over this reproof, and his glance turned briefly toward the dining room. Katy John was still noisily at work. "You hate it," he said positively. "I know you do. I've seen your feelings many a time. I don't blame you.
It seemed for the moment as though she had been anticipated in her departure and was about to be put out of the house. "To drive over to Kent's," answered Madame, imperturbably. From her manner one would have thought the drive had been long planned. Isabel sat down on her bed. "I'm not going," she said. "Oh, yes, you are," returned Madame, in a small, thin voice.
Her anger and impatience even at this early stage of the interview proved sufficiently that her icy restraint was only on the surface. And Chauvelin always knew how to deal with vehemence. He loved to play with the emotions of a passionate fellow-creature: it was only the imperturbably calm of a certain enemy of his that was wont to shake his own impenetrable armour of reserve.
"You see they might grow to something splendid in the end, Isobel. You must not judge them by what they are now." "Oh! I know, the caterpillar and the butterfly, and all the rest of it." "The Bible" continued Godfrey imperturbably when she cut him short. "Well, what of the Bible? How do you know that it is true?" "Because I do know it, though the truth in it may be different for everyone.
"Sir," replied the Colonel, imperturbably, "since the doors are closed, there is no one, unless it be a spirit-listener under the table, who can wire to Mademoiselle Cicogna the substance of debate. And, for my part, I do not believe in spiritual manifestations.
But Christophe went on imperturbably shouting louder than the rest: and saying monstrous things about Germany and the Germans. At the next table a young man was listening to him and rocking with laughter.
Lady Gertrude had presented an imperturbably polite and hostile front almost from the moment of the girl's arrival at the Hall.
The Doctor, imperturbably grave, held forth at the end of the scissors the ripped-up ruins of a small-sized indiarubber hot-water bottle, a ductile vessel that, buttoned inside the khâki tunic, had adapted itself not uncomfortably to the still existing rotundities of the Alderman's figure. A hyæna-yell of laughter broke from each of the crowding heads.
"I told you so!" replied Leroy imperturbably; "It is a hateful resemblance! I wish I could rid myself of it. Still after all, there is something unique in being countenanced like a King, and minded as a Socialist!" "True!" put in Thord gently; "I am satisfied, Pasquin Leroy, that you are an honest comrade!" Leroy met his eyes with a grave smile, and touched his glass by way of acknowledgement.
