Paret, when you are in town, and give my cordial regards to Mr. Watling." So gravely had the farce been carried on that I almost laughed, despite the fact that the matter in question was a serious one for me. The Governor held out his hand, and I accepted my dismissal. I had not gone fifty steps in the corridor before I heard the Colonel's voice in my ear.
Bazalguet, double-chinned and comfortable squire, was disturbed by this case. What troubled him was that Ingram had not been straightforward. What was this dismissal of a servant? He knew, and therefore he asked the question. Fortnaby knew also, but didn't intend to say. Everybody, indeed, knew.
It took him more than three years, from July, eighteen-forty-five, the date of his dismissal, to September, eighteen-forty-eight, the date of his death. The Incumbent of Haworth has been much blamed for his son's shortcomings. He has been charged with first spoiling the boy, and then neglecting him. When London and the Royal Academy proved beyond him he had him taught at Bradford.
Although she did not see him often, this restless dread grew upon her so, that she urged his dismissal upon Sir Bale, offering to provide, herself, for him a handsome annuity, charged on that part of her property which, by her marriage settlement, had remained in her power.

They saw no reason why a major-general of cavalry should be mooning around with balloons and kites like a schoolboy. The dismissal hurt him, but deterred him in no way from the purpose of his life.
The young girl stifled a sigh, and then, with a gesture of dismissal, she remarked, "M. de Fondege must be sent for." "The General?" "Yes." "I will send for him at once," replied the housekeeper; and thereupon she left the room, closing the door behind her with a vicious slam. The justice of the peace and Mademoiselle Marguerite were at last alone in M. de Chalusse's study.
He had a broken wrist and several bad sprains and bruises, but he was resting easily. "I didn't get that check for the premiums to-day," Fred said. Helen rose from her seat. "I'll speak to him about it to-morrow," she returned, lightly. Her movement implied dismissal. Fred left his seat and stood for a moment, awkwardly fingering his hat.
The dismissal of officers at Chengchiatun responsible for the occurrence as well as the severe punishment of those who took direct part in the fracas. Proclamations to be posted ordering all Chinese soldiers and civilians in South Manchuria and Eastern Inner Mongolia to refrain from any act calculated to provoke a breach of the peace with Japanese soldiers or civilians.
