"But if you can only deny nasty facts by accounting for them, I dare say Mr. Armitage's book will afford you ample opportunities for explanation. Or have Jews the brazenness to assert it is all invention?" "No, no one would do that," said Percy Saville, who had just done it.
But the girl turned her face that she might see him in his new position. The movement, I confess, looked bold to the point of brazenness; but if the movement was bold, what shall I say of her glances and the expression of her face? She seemed unable to take her eager eyes from the stranger, or to think of anything but him, and after a few moments she did not try.
She was, even after many years at the business of exposing the natural depravity of the youthful mind, appalled at the brazenness of Mamie. Mamie looked uncertain. Whatever she had done, it was well to have company. "We all used tissue-paper," said Mamie. It proved even so. The teacher, that this thing might be fully exposed, called the roll.

She bade him quit the place, that he might not touch the cushions with his dress, which was fouler than it should have been.

He could never get it in if we once started for him. And why does he come here anyway, flaunting his law-breaking in our faces? Right in our home town, too." Charley's voice took on an aggrieved tone, and he continued for some minutes to inveigh against the brazenness of Demetrios Contos. In the meantime, the man in question was lolling in the stern of his boat and watching the net floats.
Their celebrated eyes showed doubt for a moment, then a brazenness: Herbert and Henry decided to come in. "Isn't this the funniest thing?" cried Patty. "After what I just said awhile ago you know, Florence. Don't you dare to tell 'em!" "I cert'nly won't!" her hostess promised, and, turning inhospitably to the two callers, "What on earth you want around here?" she inquired.
She was the most self-possessed of her party, for under Mrs. Wishart's active brazenness there could easily be seen fear and a certain measure of remorse hiding themselves; and Wishart seemed to be but one remove from imbecility. The charges were read with a running commentary of bad language from Mrs.
In the third place, Gompers has always insisted upon the democratic methods of debate and referendum in reaching important decisions. With this sagacity of leadership Gompers has combined a fearlessness that sometimes verges on brazenness. He has never hesitated to enter a contest when it seemed prudent to him to do so.
