It is of little use to try and hide them from you, who will see them for yourself directly my darling comes back. I pray God it may be soon. Of course he is spoilt; but I am to blame, because I made him my idol." "An only son is always more or less spoilt," said John. He remembered his own boyhood, and smiled sardonically in the darkness. "He will grow out of it.
In spite of himself Tetlow was falling under the spell of Norman's personality, of the old and deep admiration the lesser man had for the greater. "Norman," he said, "how can you be such a combination of bigness and petty deviltry? You are a monster of self-indulgence.

At this moment the entire fabric of the space-ship moved slightly. There was no sound of rockets. The ship seemed to turn a little, but that was all. No gravity. No acceleration. It was a singularly uncomfortable sensation, on top of the discomfort of weightlessness. Cochrane said sardonically: "If you can't take my word that I'm alive, I'll try to get you some proof! Hm.

This was evidently the place where she pursued her strange calling; for here so Vanderlyn, trying to combat the eerie impression she produced on him, sardonically told himself were the stage properties of her singular craft. The high walls were hung with red cloth, against which gleamed innumerable plaster casts of hands.
"It's wonderful how the loss of one's sight sharpens one's ears. I suppose you met Margaret on the road." "I met Miss Kitwater in the churchyard," I replied. "A very good meeting-place," he chuckled sardonically. "It's where most of us meet each other sooner or later. Upon my word, I think the dead are luckier than the living.

When Walpole heard me say this he offered to be my substitute, to which she agreed.
