If your Excellency acknowledges that Monsieur de Lafayette's merits have nothing to do with the question. "'I acknowledge or deny nothing, sir! says the General, with a stamp of his foot, and looking as though he could be terribly angry if he would. 'Am I here to be catechised by you? Stay. Hark, Harry! I speak to you as a man of the world nay, as an old friend.
At two the children were catechised, at three service began again. Mrs. King took Doris and Betty to dine with a friend of her youth, and then went back to the service out of respect to her sister and brother-in-law. Little Ruth fell asleep and was punished for it when she reached home. The children were all fractious and their mother scolded.
The sham affection of the aristocratic lady who was to be her chaperon; the Queen, who last evening had catechised her as if she were a child, and whom she distrusted; the servile flatterer, Malfalconnet, in whose mirthful manner that day for the first time she thought she had detected dislike and slight sarcasm; the imperial love messenger, Don Luis Quijada, who with icy, dutiful coldness scarcely vouchsafed a word to her; and, lastly, the confessor Pedro de Soto, who treated her like a person who needed pity, and probably only awaited a fitting time to hurl an anathema into her face passed before her memory, and in all these persons, so far above her in birth and rank, she believed that she saw foes.
I wish I could get hold of it for you. Well, go on, grandfather!" "No, my dear, it's for you to go on. But don't you think you've catechised me sufficiently about my reading? You must find it very old-fashioned." "No, not at all. I like old things myself.
Both before Jeannin's departure from the Hague in June, and on his return in the middle of August, he catechised him very closely on the subject.

Gowan do, Mollie?" "He was very kind and sympathizing," replied Mollie. "He always is sympathizing," looking at her with affectionate shrewdness. "He is very nice, is n't he, Mollie?" "Yes," said Mollie. "Very nice, indeed." "And I dare say you were so frightened and wretched that you cried?" "Yes," confessed the abashed catechised. "I thought so."
They returned to the little morning room, Thorpe's caulked boots gouging out the little triangular furrows in the hardwood floor. Neither noticed that. Morris, the butler, emerged from his hiding and held up the hands of horror. "What are you going to do now?" she catechised, facing him in the middle of the room.
The prisoner herself seemed happily to be quite fresh and not affected by the sultriness of the day. It had cost her small effort to adhere to her statement that she had had no share in the escape of the sisters, when catechised by the ruffianly negro; but she found it hard to defy Othman's benevolent questioning.
When Gertrude walked down to the town, to the King's House, or even to see Lily, at this side of the bridge, Dominick, the footman, was ordered to trudge after her a sort of state she had never used in her little neighbourly rambles and Gertrude knew that her aunt catechised that confidential retainer daily.
The information that I received made me doubtful how to proceed; I could easily prove my identity, but I had a degree of apprehension that I might be catechised in such a manner as to raise suspicions. At the same time without a you in the world, I did not much like the idea of abandoning all claim to my father's property.
