"I'm no flatterer," said the miller; "never was. And you can't please everybody. If I said your daughter took after you I don't s'pose she'd ever speak to me again." "The worst of it is," said the farmer, disregarding his remark, "she won't settle down. There's young Walter Lomas after her now, and she won't look at him.

Disregarding all these fierce and awful portents, the Kshatriyas, taking counsel with one another, cheerfully stood on the field for battle again, on the beautiful and sacred field called after Kuru, desirous of obtaining heaven. Then Shakuni, the son of the Gandhara king, said, "Fight all of ye in front! I, however, will slay the Pandavas from behind."

The English will scarcely fire through their own wounded." The look that Raoul cast toward his auxiliary was fierce even indignant; but, disregarding the advice, he motioned for his own men to obey the order he had already given them.

And, like a wild beast, Gavin Brice was attacking his big foe. But, unlike a wild beast, he kept his head, as he charged. Disregarding the menace of the huge arms, he came to grips, without striking a single blow. Around him the beach-comber flung his constricting grasp. But this time the grip was worthless.

Just as the praetor had concluded his report Argus set up a howl of delight and Antinous came into the room. Verus at once withdrew into the window and pretended to be absorbed in looking out on the harbor. "Where have you been?" asked the Emperor, disregarding the praetor's presence. "Into the city a little way," was the Bithynian's answer.

From his head to his feet he was the very epitome of self-sufficient, brutal conceit. Kitty trembled as she noted the hush that fell on the people at his entrance. She felt like rushing out of the room. She could never face this terrible man. She trembled more as she found his eyes fixed upon her. "Who 's that?" he asked, disregarding her, as if she had been a stick or a stone.

The chief opponent of the new Alliance was William I, who was moved by personal chivalric feelings towards his nephew, Czar Alexander; but, disregarding this, because confident of eventually persuading his imperial master, Bismarck went to Gastein and there settled with the Austrian Minister, Count Andrassy, the principles of the Alliance.

"Why, you think more of the Cause than Mark does, I believe!" I put in. "Not more than Mark not more than Mark! Jack, you mustn't say that: you mustn't think it!" "And a great deal more of our name," I went on sturdily, disregarding her tone, which I considered vehement beyond reason.

"Show me where to sign," says I. "We have to go through the disagreeable formality of searching these premises," said Mr. Phelps, disregarding my joke, "and if you have no objections we shall begin now!" "And suppose I did have an objection?" I asked. "We'd search them just the same," said Mr. Phelps, grinning.

Ponsonby, M.P., spoke in the same sense: "I trust that, even though it may be late, the Foreign Secretary will use every endeavour to the very last moment, disregarding the tone of messages and the manner of Ambassadors, but looking to the great central interests of humanity and civilisation to keep this country in a state of peace." Democracy means peace; can we accept this assumption?
