I raised my hand in protest. The Countess took no notice. "What I can only call romping." "Romping!" I cried. "A thing not only atrociously vulgar at all times, but under the circumstances need I say more? Mr. Carter, you were engaged in chasing my son's future bride round a table!" "Pardon me, Lady Mickleham. Your son's future bride was engaged in chasing me round a table."
That redoubtable dandy now watched the Vidame de Pamiers' introduction of his young friend to that lovely woman, and bent over to say in Rastignac's ear: "My dear fellow, he will go up /whizz/! like a rocket, and come down like a stick," an atrociously vulgar saying which was remarkably fulfilled.
The Egyptian donkey is a big fellow with a light-grey coat, capable of carrying a substantial load, hardy, generally docile, and less stubborn than most of the species. He is much taller and heavier than the Palestine donkey, and our Army never submitted him to the atrociously heavy loads which crush and break the spirit of the local Arabs' animals.
"Won't you give me a line on his Excellency, Guy?" she asked. "Is he easy, or difficult, or neither?" "I may not betray the weak points of my chief!" Harleston smiled. "Moreover, here we are," as the taxi came to a stop on the Seventeenth Street side of an atrociously ugly, and miserably inadequate building that partially houses three Departments of the great American Government.
Of the two other courses, the first was the most logical, to proclaim the downfall of the monarchy and the formation of a republic. The republic, had it been properly established by the Assembly, would have been far different from the republic traitorously and atrociously extorted nine months after by the insurrection of the 10th of August.
I cancelled one half viz., that half which was occupied with cases in Pope of disingenuousness, and perhaps of moral falsehood or collusion with other people's falsehood, but not of falsehood atrociously literal and conscious; meaning thus to diminish by one half the penance of those who do not like to see Pope assaulted, although forced by uneasiness to watch the assault; feeling with which I heartily sympathize; and meaning, on the other hand, in justification of mylelf, to throw the reader's attention more effectively, because more exclusively, upon such cases of frantic and moonstruck falsehood as could allow no room for suspense or mitigation of judgment.
"Why not?" he murmured. "It's one of the commonest facts of daily life." "And you had never fully realized it before, this loneliness and its possible explanation that there might exist, I mean, a way of satisfying it till you met this stranger?" He answered with deep earnestness. "Always, old man, always, but suffered under it atrociously because I'd never understood it.
"I've wanted a principal part in the French plays ever since I came to school, and Mademoiselle never will give me one; I always have to be a servant, or an extra guest, and speak about two lines!" "Well, your French accent is so atrociously bad, I don't wonder!" returned Gowan. "You certainly wouldn't be a credit to Mademoiselle in a principal part.
I could not help laughing at Smeaton's description, and yet it was a laugh with a groan underlying it. Of all ruins, that of a fine man is the saddest. I never thought I should have seen Cullingworth again, but fate has brought us together. I have always had a kindly feeling for him, though I feel that he used me atrociously.
The power of a great conviction, the simplicity of great art, the vital spiritual message of a soul that had found itself all this, and more, were in the chords, and yet somehow the music was what can only be described as impure atrociously and diabolically impure.
