And, without asking, Whither hurried hence! Oh, many a Cup of this forbidden Wine Must drown the memory of that insolence!"
"And mind, if the man is rude and you dislike him mind, you must not subject yourself to insolence and mortification." "Oh, all will go well, don't fear," said Philip, cheerfully, and he left the house. Towards evening he had reached his destination. Plaskwith."

Look at thy followers and clients: are they not cutting the throats of humble men by way of vengeance for the crime of a great one? But that is the way one patrician always scourges the insolence of another. He lays the rod on the backs of the people, and then cries, 'See how just I am!"
During a council which was held on board the flag-ship, a sharp dispute arose, and Juan de Carthagena, who affected to treat the Captain-general with contempt, having answered him with pride and insolence, Magellan felt obliged to arrest him with his own hand, and to have him put in the stocks, an instrument made of two pieces of wood placed one upon the other and pierced with holes, in which were placed the legs of the sailor who was to be punished.

"What brought you here, my son?" asked the captain, on recovering speech. "My legs, father." "Don't be insolent, boy." "It's not insolence, father.

But let me introduce you to my friend, Mr " He stopped short on looking round, for Van der Kemp was not there.

The Morro Castle hadn't left its New York dock before he had determined just what part he would take in the liberation of Cuba he'd lead a hopeless demonstration in the center of Havana, at the hour when the city was its brightest and the band playing most gaily; his voice, sharp like a shot, so soon to be stilled in death, would stop the insolence of music.
