'In her position it would be better, I suppose, said her guardian, with obvious distaste to the idea. 'Has there ever been anyone that you thoroughly approved of? asked Anne. He shook his head.
I went along the lane towards Woking, the lane down which we had walked five months ago in the wind and rain. I mooned for a time in our former footsteps, then swore and turned back across the fields, and then conceived a distaste for Cothope and went Downward. At last I found myself looking down on the huge abandoned masses of the Crest Hill house. That gave my mind a twist into a new channel.
The very fact that there was so much in her life that must be hidden led to a strong distaste for all that was misleading in non-essentials. "I am going to church with you to-day," said Graydon, "and I shall try to behave." "Try to! You cannot sit with me unless you promise to behave."

At the end of ten years the once defeated union was strong enough to enforce its demands for a union shop and in spite of the distaste of the firm for the arrangement, no obstacle to harmonious relations with the union remained but for the refusal of the trade-unionists to receive as one of their members the old crippled employee, whose spirit was broken as last and who was now willing to join the union and to stand with his old enemies for the sake of retaining his place.
A look of distaste crossed Anthony's face. "Please CHERIE!" he begged. There was a silence brimming with sweetness and colour. Tony laid his hand against her knee, groped until her own warm, smooth fingers were in his own. "Does Mr. Carter play golf to-morrow?" he asked, presently. "I suppose so!" "And you what do you do?"
