What did he mean to do to fly, or kill himself, or stand his ground and take his trial on a last chance? It would be a celebrated trial. Hateful and inevitable details occurred to Westray's imagination: the crowded, curious court as he saw it in his dream, with Lord Blandamer in the dock, and this last thought sickened him. His own place would be in the witness-box.
"Do you mean to tell me that Miriam meant Anne when she said she could name the girl?" demanded Nora. "She did, indeed," replied Anne, "and if it had not been for Grace she would have made things very unpleasant for me." "Humph," ejaculated the fiery Nora, "then all I have to say is that I don't see how a nice boy like David ever happened to have a horrid hateful, scheming sister like Miriam.
Fregelius, "and you laughed at me, that it was most unlucky her having sung that hateful Norse song, the 'Greeting to Death, when you found her upon the steamer Trondhjem." "Everything has been unlucky, Mr. Fregelius or lucky," he added beneath his breath. "But you will like to know that she died singing it. The aerophone told me that." "Mr.
He hated Croker, a hateful man, to be sure, and when the latter published his edition of Boswell, Macaulay saw his opportunity, and exclaimed before he had looked at the book, as you will remember, "Now I will dust his jacket."

This was the third year that he had seen M. Sabathier arrive, and all his anger fell upon him. "What! you have come back again!" he exclaimed. "Well, you must be desirous of living this hateful life!

I sent an answer by the maid asking Sasha to select some park or boulevard for a rendezvous. My suggestion was readily accepted.
"God love thee for sweet and noble woman, my Damaris," said I, sinking to my knees before her, "and now, thus kneeling in the sight of God and thee, hear me swear that hateful thing of which you speak never was and never shall be!" Here I clasped my arms about her, felt her yield and sway to my embrace, saw a dawning glory in her eyes. "Martin," said she, quick-breathing, "if this be so indeed "
He looks from the picture like a man who would be as soft as a frosted pawpaw." Nancy Ellen's face flamed crimson. "You hateful spite-cat!" she cried. Then she picked up the picture and laid it face down in her drawer, while two big tears ran down her cheeks. Kate saw those also. Instantly she relented. "You big silly goose!" she said.
