"I have to mend for a dozen men and three boys," said she, "and the boys are the worst by a heap sight. Look at that, will you," holding up a darn with a bit of stocking attached. "That hole was made playing shinny."
I uttered my condolences and asked if any sound or disturbance had reached her ears from above. "O no, all is right up there; I've scarcely heard a whisper since you've been gone."
I gave her a pat on the chin scarcely consistent with my aged and tottering mien and proceeded to shamble painfully to my room.英文原著 · 《A Strange Disappearance》
Severne did not like it at all, but he was wise enough to deplore it only on her account; and indeed her light alpaca was soon drenched, and began to cling to her. But the spirited girl only laughed at his condolences, as she hurried on. "Why, it is only warm water," said she; "this is no more than a bath in the summer sea. Bathing is getting wet through in blue flannel. Well, I am bathing in blue alpaca."英文原著 · 《A Woman-Hater》
This has been an interesting time here, but only because it is so different from what one would expect. It reads like a burlesque to note the expressions of condolence from all over the world, and to mark the self-satisfaction of the French at attracting so much sympathy, and their absolute indifference to the death of Carnot. It is most curious. We have an ideal time. Never before have I had such jolly dinners, with such good talk and such amusing companions. LONDON, July 15, 1894. DEAR MOTHER:

She ran down to see Mary Stopperton on the Saturday afternoon. Stopperton had died the year before, and Mary had been a little hurt, divining insincerity in the condolences offered to her by most of her friends. "You didn't know him, dear," she had said to Joan. "All his faults were on the outside."
She did not want to talk about the war. "Perhaps it's wrong of me," she said. "But it makes me so sad. And I can do nothing."
She had been busy at her machine when Joan had entered; and a pile of delicate white work lay folded on a chair beside her. "What are you making?" asked Joan.英文原著 · 《All Roads Lead to Calvary》
[Rising.] And now, Gertrude, if you will allow me, I shall leave Mrs. Cheveley in your charge and call back for her in a quarter of an hour. Or perhaps, dear Mrs. Cheveley, you wouldn't mind waiting in the carriage while I am with Lady Brancaster. As I intend it to be a visit of condolence, I shan't stay long.英文原著 · 《An Ideal Husband》
Are not our rich Americans Frenchmen in France, Germans in Germany, or Englishmen in England? And do they not squander with cosmopolitan grace fortunes coined by American factory children and cotton slaves? Yes, theirs is the patriotism that will make it possible to send messages of condolence to a despot like the Russian Tsar, when any mishap befalls him, as President Roosevelt did in the name of HIS people, when Sergius was punished by the Russian revolutionists.英文原著 · 《Anarchism and Other Essays》
