It was Pere Colombe who was turning the party out without the least hesitation, and in the twinkling of an eye. On the other side of the door they blackguarded him and called him a scoundrel.

A fine gang they were, those generals! they understood one another; they were not going to pull all the blankets off the bed!
Then he got mad and forgetting the girls were present, he blackguarded the jokers in the launch wrathfully. "Oh, hush-aby! hush-aby, sonny!" begged Bobby.

I read an article in a scientific paper from the pen of a jackass who showed a Corliss engine card, and then blackguarded the railroad mechanics of America for being satisfied with the link because it was handy. I started in to design a motion to make a card, but well, you know how good-for-nothing those things are to pull loads with.
"There's enough of this chaff I have been called names, and blackguarded quite sufficiently for one sitting. I shall act as I please. I choose to take my own way, and if any gentleman stops me he has full warning."

Do you know you have been blackguarded in the papers lately, and that there is a violent article against you in the Critic, and all on account of some unwise utterances?" Lewis flushed deeply. "That is the worst thing I have done, and I feel horribly penitent. It was the act of a cad and a silly schoolboy. But I had some provocation, Tommy.
The devil got awful savage, and blackguarded Billy Duffy terribly; but it was useless. Billy kept him there for days, till he got civil and said: "Mr. Duffy, what will you let me go for?" "Only one thing: I am to live the rest of my life without you, and have as much gold as I like." The devil agreed, so Billy let him go; and immediately he grew rich.
Sarah makes me look a fool before Cummings April 9. Commenced the morning badly. The butcher, whom we decided NOT to arrange with, called and blackguarded me in the most uncalled-for manner.
