I found a picture cut from a weekly paper, one I remember that Mr. Stevenson himself had particularly disliked. He would have been pleased had he seen the scornful way Pola threw the picture on the floor. "I will not have that!" he cried. "It is pig-faced. It is not the shadow of our chief." He leaned against the door and wept. "I have nothing else, Pola," I protested.
He went for the place because his colonel told him to went cheerfully to do a thing he horribly disliked, without letting anyone guess by word or deed or the least little sign that he disliked it which, if you think of it, is more heroic by a long chalk.
They disliked the subject; they had not realized its supreme importance. The Irish party in the constituencies was in violent opposition to Liberal candidates; it did not interrogate, but denounced. Further, it was felt that the issue was mainly one to be decided in Ireland itself.

He not only disliked, but distrusted Major Tifto, and had so expressed himself as to give rise to angry words. Silverbridge had said that he knew how to take care of himself. Tregear had replied that he had his doubts on that matter.
At Fontenay, however, the brave Huguenot leader had his left arm broken, and was obliged to have it amputated. Negotiations were now being carried on in earnest. Charles the Ninth was weary of a war that impoverished the state, diminished his revenues, and forced him to rely upon the Guises, whom he feared and disliked.
I was not pleased about it, frankly, Nicholas, because one cannot help knowing of your existence and your friends, and I feared your interest for a secretary might be as for them, and I disliked that my godchild should run such a risk. When jeunes filles of the world have to take up menial positions they are of course open to such situations, and have to expect difficulties.
The room was empty; the other members of the household having all finished their morning meal. Sir Patrick disliked breakfasting alone. He sent Duncan with a message, to be given to Blanche's maid. The maid appeared in due time Miss Lundie was unable to leave her room. She sent a letter to her uncle, with her love and begged he would read it.
