This man knows how to group his figures; well he understands where to plant his masses of light and shade; and what impertinence it would be in us spectators, the reader suppose and myself, to go behind the scenes for critical inquiry into daylight realities. All reasonable men see that, the less of such realities our artist had to work with, the more was his merit.
Somebody says, "In heaven there will be no secrets," which, it seems to me, would be intolerable. Clairvoyance if there be any such thing always seemed to me a stupid impertinence. When people pay visits to me, I wish them to come to the front-door, and ring the bell, and send up their names.
But I don't want to be taught any more. I've learned enough." "But it's just a woman companion that we want to give you, dear," said Barbara. "Her mere presence about you is a protection against well, any pretty young woman living alone is liable to chance impertinence and annoyance." Liosha's dark eyes flashed. "I'd like to see any man try to annoy me. He wouldn't try twice. You ask Mrs.
Do you know, they had the impertinence to send one of their threatening letters to poor Andrei before they shot him. They sent him a sheet of paper with a cross drawn on it. Then I knew he was done for. They do not send that pour rire." He stopped short, and gave a jerk of the head.
If ever there was a case of adding insult to injury, surely this piece of canting impertinence was one of the most outrageous. By H.W. Woolrych. London: J. & W.T. Clarke, 1826, pp. 145-48. Lipscomb's History and Antiquities of the Co. of Bucks, 1847, Vol. IV., p. 548. Gray made the churchyard of Stoke Pogis the scene of his famous Elegy, and he was buried there in 1771. Ency.

My two cabin boys are very useful, and Osman's ringing laugh and constant impertinence to the crew and soldiers keep the boat alive; he is a capital boy, a perfect gamin, and being a tailor by trade he is very useful: this accounts for his father wishing to detain him. The horses and donkeys very snug on board.
If this continued much longer, it would be impossible to keep the infuriated citizens from falling upon these blustering rascals and bringing their impertinence to a summary end. If this should happen, it would be a terrible thing, for not only would Mr. Wragg and his companions be put to death, but the pirates would undoubtedly attack the town, which was in a very poor position for defence.
Marianne, who had never much toleration for any thing like impertinence, vulgarity, inferiority of parts, or even difference of taste from herself, was at this time particularly ill-disposed, from the state of her spirits, to be pleased with the Miss Steeles, or to encourage their advances; and to the invariable coldness of her behaviour towards them, which checked every endeavour at intimacy on their side, Elinor principally attributed that preference of herself which soon became evident in the manners of both, but especially of Lucy, who missed no opportunity of engaging her in conversation, or of striving to improve their acquaintance by an easy and frank communication of her sentiments.
"I can't tell!" said Rossitur; "depends on himself, it will end according to his answers." "Is his offence so great that it cannot be forgiven upon my entreaty?" "Mr. Carleton!" said Rossitur "I would gladly pleasure you, Sir; but, you see, this is a thing a man owes to himself." "What thing, Sir?" "Why, not to suffer impertinence to be offered him with impunity."
Georgiana, with a swift, protecting movement, leaned nearer to the child, and spoke to him: "It's your house; tell him to leave the room for his impertinence." "He may have the house, since it's his," I replied. "But there is one thing I'll not stand; if he ever comes between me and you, he'll have to go; I'll present him to Mrs. Walters."
