Ye've been grossly deceived and put upon, Milly, and it's my belief his old ruffian of an uncle in a wig is in the plot against us." "That soft old gentleman? What has he been doing, Papa?" continued Emily, still imperturbable. Milly looked very grave and thoughtful, rubbing the white satin shoes. "Sure, if he's no money, there's no use marrying him, Papa," she said sententiously.
"You have killed me," gasped he, "just as the prize, that I have been looking for for twenty years, was in my grasp." "Work does a man no harm," remarked the doctor sententiously. There was, however, little time to lose; the Marquis de Croisenois and Paul might be expected to arrive at any moment, and Mascarin hastened to restore a certain amount of calmness to his prostrate antagonist.
"Which, the millionaire or the divorce," at which there was a peal of laughter. "I am afraid sister referred to the man," sighed Mrs. Marchmont, "but how sad for poor dear Meltonbury." "He'd survive it," said Blanche sententiously. "As I live there is Lord Rivers and a man worth stopping for. Halt, coachman," cried Mrs. Tompkins eagerly.
He sent a letter, asking me to come to Medan, he would talk to me about the "Confessions." Well do I remember going there with dear Alexis in the May-time, the young corn six inches high in the fields, and my delight in the lush luxuriance of the l'Oise. That dear morning is remembered, and the poor master who reproved me a little sententiously, is dead.
Nivel came round daily with his sister, and, to use his own expression, "took me in hand." This taking in hand meant principally marching me off to the tailors and hosiers to order new clothes. "A man when he is going to be married," he said sententiously, "must make a clean sweep of all his old clothes and start afresh. It's a duty he owes to his future wife and his tailor!"
"Only the husk of our marriage is left. The spirit is dead," she said sententiously. "I am going away. I cannot pass another night in this house. If you will not take this ring, I shall leave it here." Babcock turned to hide the tears which blinded his eyes. Selma regarded him a moment gravely, then she laid her wedding-ring on the table and went from the room.
"Dash it all!" he said under his breath and addressing no one in particular, "he can't go like that. Can't some of us stop him?" "Try," put in Lester Stark sententiously, having had previous experiences of Wynne's mood, so Doctor Bartholomew did try, and got cursed for his pains. Wynne was struggling into his great, picturesque cloak, a sinister figure of unsteady gait and blood-shot eye.
Fyodor Pavlovitch was silent again for two minutes. “A drop of brandy would be nice now,” he observed sententiously, but Ivan made no response. “You shall have some, too, when we get home.” Ivan was still silent. Fyodor Pavlovitch waited another two minutes. “But I shall take Alyosha away from the monastery, though you will dislike it so much, most honored Karl von Moor.”
"I suppose so," answered Thomas, who to tell the truth for once was himself somewhat dismayed. "It does look a little gloomy, but after all it is very sheltered, and home is what one makes it," he added sententiously.
He was a brilliant fellow, but he tied himself all up, tied himself all up," he observed sententiously, thus explaining the catastrophe of an unbalanced character. "You mean it was suicide?" Isabelle questioned. "Looks that way!" "How awful! and his wife killed, too!" "He was always desperate uncontrolled sort of fellow. You remember how he went off the handle the night of our dinner."
