I set about the search for this discussion; I found the article by Bailly in a journal of that epoch, and I affirm that this dispute does not contain a word but what is in harmony with all our colleague's published writings. I return therefore to my former idea, and say of Bailly, with perfect confidence, "No gall had ever poisoned his pen."
She was accustomed to a certain domineering authority in his language, rendered all the more difficult to endure by the sarcasm with which he sometimes embittered his words, as though he had dipped them in gall before pronouncing them, but this apparent abandonment of reserve, this almost touching assumption of candour, were phases of his histrionical ability which he had never till now displayed in her presence.
Britain had consented, unwillingly, to the setting up of responsible government and the calling to office of men who a dozen years before had been in arms against the Queen or fleeing from the province. This was gall and wormwood to the English.
A hard cheek, a bitter tongue, and a good digestion are the three great steps in the Irish Parliamentary gradus ad Parnassum, the cheek to enable its happy possessor to "snub up" to gentlemen of birth and breeding, the tongue to drip gall and venom on all and sundry, the digestion to eat dirt ad libitum and to endure hebdomadal horsewhippings.

But now everywhere the royal authority was weakened; and while Edward was feasting at Shene and Warwick absent at Calais, the provinces were exposed to all the abuses which most gall a population.
You know let dogs delight and I made up another piece while you were talking Quarrelling is an evil thing, It fills with gall life's cup; For when once you begin It takes such a long time to make it up. We all laughed then and stopped jawing at each other. Noel is very funny with his poetry. But that piece happened to come out quite true.
He had promised Lilian to do his best, and his own desire pointed to the same end. Swallowing his gall, he spoke quietly. "Mr. Northway, we can't talk as if we were friends; but I must remember that you have never intentionally done me any wrong that it is I who am immediately to blame for this state of things. I hope you will talk it over with me"
It's enough for me that the heather's above the gall. I saw this dreary morning the sorrow of my life, and I'm in no hurry to add to it by the value of a single tear." Sonachan was quite as bitter. And again he plunged ahead of us with Ardkinglas, to avoid my retort to an impertinence that, coming from a younger man, would have more seriously angered me.
