"These two have been in the shower of honors, but very little in the shower of balls," remarked Blucher, laconically. "I wonder what rewards will be conferred on the crown prince of Sweden?" "He has already received the highest Prussian, Austrian, and Russian orders," replied Gneisenau, scornfully. "As stated before, no one has been forgotten but ONE!" "Who is it?" asked Blucher.
The family was a Puritan one, although in 1631, when John was born, the Civil War had not yet begun. When John Dryden left school he went, like nearly all the poets, to Cambridge. Of what he did at college we know very little. He may have been wild, for more than once he got into trouble, and once he was "rebuked on the head" for speaking scornfully of some nobleman.
"I will give you your life," Makamuk made answer through the interpreter. Subienkow laughed scornfully. "And you shall be a slave in my house until you die." The Pole laughed more scornfully. "Untie my hands and feet and let us talk," he said. The chief made the sign; and when he was loosed Subienkow rolled a cigarette and lighted it. "This is foolish talk," said Makamuk.
"Who tould ye that loie? Shure, an' it's not here ye 'll be apt to foind the loikes o' that, me man." Winston eyed him scornfully. "You lie, Burke; I saw it with my own eyes just beyond that second turn yonder. You cannot play with me, and the sooner you master that fact the better. Now, you can take your choice lead on as I order, and keep your men away, or eat lead.
"I? Go anywhere else?" she exclaimed scornfully. "Thank you, I am perfectly satisfied here. And with my companion," she added, with a brilliant little smile. "Now tell me about New York. Have you ever been there?" "Twice," he told her. "At present the dream of my life is to go there with you." She looked at him a little wonderingly. "I wonder if you really care," she said.
The Major wiped his mouth on the back of his hand and looked at Mr. Crow uneasily. "I came away yes!" he said. Mr. Crow snorted. "A fine soldier you are!" he cried scornfully. "You aren't brave enough to lead an army. I should think you'd be ashamed." Major Monkey seemed pained. He said it hurt him to have Mr. Crow say such cruel things.
How can it be finished, the plumber demanded scornfully, 'before hot and cold are put in, and he put in hot and cold.
Betray my aged mother for filthy gold!" he cries, looking at us scornfully as if it was our suggestion. "Never, while yet breath remains in my body!" What a cheer we give him then; a cheer which seems to imply that, having often betrayed our own mothers for half a crown or so, we are able to realize the heroic nature of his abstention on this occasion.
"Nay," laughed Ganelon scornfully, "nay, Sire, had any man but thee said it I had deemed he lied." So slowly and sad at heart, with many a backward glance, the Emperor rode on. Again Roland put his horn to his mouth. He was weary now and faint. Blood was upon his pale lips, the blue veins in his temples stood out like cords.
"I'll give you half that other sandwich if you can tell me what the orchestra is playing now." "The slipper thing, from 'Boheme'," Billy said scornfully. Susan's eyes widened with approval and surprise. His appreciation of music was an incongruous note in Billy's character. There was presently a bill to settle, which Susan, as became a lady, seemed to ignore.
