His terrifying demeanour, his amazing personal dignity and majesty, the certainty that he would say whatever came into his head, whether it was profound and solemn, or testy and discourteous, gave him a personal ascendancy that never disappointed a pilgrim.
It would be nonsense, as Jurgen demonstrated with a very apt citation from Napsacus. Then, sitting so, in the heat of conversation a speaker naturally gesticulates: and a deal of his eloquence is dependent upon his hands. When anyone is talking it is discourteous to interrupt, whereas to lay hold of a gentleman's hand outright, as Jurgen parenthesized, is a little forward.
I dreamed it was an alarm. Little one little one do not cry. Have I slept? That was discourteous indeed! 'I fear! I am afraid! roared the child. 'What is it to fear? Two old men and a boy? How wilt thou ever make a soldier, Princeling? The lama had waked too, but, taking no direct notice of the child, clicked his rosary. 'What is that? said the child, stopping a yell midway.
On the second day after his arrival, he created himself Governor, and appointed officers and made executions, and proclaimed immunities of gold and tenths and in general of everything else for twenty years, which is a man's lifetime, and that he came to pay everybody in full up to that day, even though they had not rendered service; and he publicly gave notice that, as for me, he had charge to send me in irons, and my brothers likewise, as he has done, and that I should nevermore return thither, nor any other of my family: alleging a thousand disgraceful and discourteous things about me.
"I don't mean it rudely, but really I'd rather not see her." "But here she is," said the Babe, taking at that moment the card from old Goslin's hand. "She will think it so strange." "I'd really rather not," repeated poor Jack. "It seems discourteous," suggested Somerville. "You go," suggested Jack. "She doesn't want to see me," explained Somerville. "Yes she does," corrected him the Babe.
It is a case of destitution of which Uncle Percival has just learned a widow and three children actually suffering. Surely it can do no harm for Captain West to accompany us?" Coolidge exhibited no enthusiasm over the proposition; indeed West felt his response almost discourteous, yet this very suspicion aroused his own desire to make one of the party.
"Were you once in love with my wife?" he asked bluntly. His deference wore away under the corrosion of Steinberg and distress. "Let us choose our words, my dear M. Struboff. Once I professed attachment to Mlle. Mansoni." "She loved you?" "It is discourteous not to accept any impression that a lady wishes to convey to you," I answered, smiling.
In the bottom of his heart Dick already entertained a great terror and some hatred for the man whom he had rescued; but the invitation was so worded that it would not have been merely discourteous, but cruel, to refuse or hesitate; and he hastened to comply. "And now, my lord duke," he said, when he had regained his freedom, "do I suppose aright? Are ye my Lord Duke of Gloucester?"
Early in the afternoon he made his way to May's home. According to his habit he passed by the servant-girl and entered the study to find himself face to face with the lawyer. The shock of disappointment and a certain latent antagonism caused him to speak with a directness which was in itself discourteous. "Is Miss May in? I wished to see her."
A deputation of the senators was chosen in this emergency to wait upon Timon. To him they come in their extremity, to whom, when he was in extremity they had shown but small regard; as if they presumed upon his gratitude whom they had disobliged, and had derived a claim to his courtesy from their own most discourteous and unpiteous treatment.
