Germany, without any of these things, is to find herself able to pay an indemnity which a brazen-faced and ignorant Press deceived the public into believing could amount to twenty or twenty-five milliards a year.
When he succeeded in obtaining from her money, as in the case of that £20, when, with brazen-faced indifference to her remonstrances, he started off to his club at two in the morning, when with impudent drollery he almost boasted of the hopelessness of his debts, a sickness of heart would come upon her, and she would weep hysterically, and lie the whole night without sleeping.
The soldier was very firm, however, and very brazen-faced, and demanded to be taken to the places where the real de Caille had lived, so that the people might have an opportunity of recognising him. Moreover, he deliberately asserted that while he was in prison M. Rolland had made two attempts against his life.
But that he could face this wild mood of nature and control and guide these high-mettled, headstrong horses gave him coolness and self-confidence. It yielded him assurance that there was, after all, an immensity of distance between himself and all caged, outworn creatures, and that the horrible example of deformity upon the brazen-faced girl's show-board had really nothing to do with him.

The brazen-faced change in his manner would have made a cat laugh; he sat upright, was interested, courteous, alert. "Quite in order! And now, pray, how much do we need?" Unadvised, he had not been able, said Mahony, to determine the sum.
"You see, as I've been all the way up to Liverpool and back, I think I ought to be put right." "Most certainly you ought, and you shall be." "And to think of his brazen-faced impudence in calling me `Love, young man. There's a profligate for you!"
He fidgeted about for an answer. "No," he replied, cuttingly, at last, "and I don't believe they ever will." "Oh, I beg your pardon," cried Laura in quick contrition. "I didn't know that it was a tender spot with you, or your family." "It isn't," Bert rejoined hurriedly.
