He insultingly attacked me one evening at table, and I had the worst of it because I am a fool, without presence of mind; and because anger, instead of rendering my wit more poignant, deprives me of the little I have. I had a dog which had been given me when he was quite young, soon after my arrival at the Hermitage, and which I had called Duke.
Egerton so insultingly warns me against counting on his fortune?" muttered Randal. "Does he mean to marry again?" Unjust suspicion! for, at that moment, these were the words that Audley Egerton was dropping forth from his lips of bronze, "Nay, dear madam, do not ascribe to my frank admiration more gallantry than it merits.
"But she didn't give me the hat, Simeon," said poor Deena, who knew it was now or never. "And who furnished you with the hat?" he asked, insultingly. "I meant to ask you to," she said, and a tear escaped and splashed on the lapel of her new coat, "but never mind, I will find some means to pay for it myself."
Eagle, struck with deadly pallor under the brown mask sun and wind had given him, stiffened involuntarily and held back. Sidney had gone crimson, and then yellow-white; Diana with a shocked face drained of colour looked ready to faint; while Milly, in all her new pride of importance, flung up her head and stared insultingly.
It might seem too much the case of a storm in a slop basin, if I were to spend any words upon the revolution which ensued. Suffice it, that I remained the lion of that company which had previously been most insultingly facetious at my expense; and the intellectual lady finally declared the air of the deck unpleasant.
I don't want to have anything to do with a musical Bebel who amuses himself by decrying all our national glories and upsetting the minds of the people. We know what is good, thank God. We do not need to wait for you to tell us. Go to your piano, sir, or leave us in peace!" Standing face to face with Christophe the fat man glared at him insultingly. Christophe was livid, and tried to speak.

"I want a lawyer," he said impulsively, looking up anxiously into the deep-lined face inches above him.

Dismissed insultingly by the King on one side, they had to encounter the indignation of the people on the other; and, though the House of Commons, with a fidelity to fallen ministers sufficiently rare, stood by them for a time in a desperate struggle with their successors, the voice of the Royal Prerogative, like the horn of Astolpho, soon scattered the whole body in consternation among their constituents, "di qua, di la, di su, di giu," and the result was a complete and long-enjoyed triumph to the Throne and Mr.
The landlady and a slavey waited on table; the landlord could be seen loafing in the kitchen. Toward the end of the meal Claire insultingly crooked her finger at the landlady and said, "Come here, woman." The landlady stared, then ignored her. "Very well. Then I'll say it publicly!" Claire swept the workmen with an affectionate smile.
