They readily apply that name to any system of government that displeases or alarms them, or refuses to grant all that they desire. Frivolous caprices, which entail their own punishment!
I shall be none the less astonished if his excellency refuses to receive me on account of a private quarrel between myself and the State Inquisitors, of which he knows no more than I do, and I know nothing.
"What forces have we in front of us?" demanded an important looking twelve year old General of an enemy soldier who was brought before him. Dead silence ensued. "If he refuses to answer, turn him upside down until he does." The order was executed. From the opposite trench came shrieks of "Boche! Boche! it's only the Boche who maltreat prisoners."
In women, who usually are not destined for anything whatever, it enjoys a merry life, and often refuses to be improved out of existence when the sudden need arises. No one by taking thought, can deracinate the mental habits of, say, twenty years.

He threatens to destroy both girls, but Antigone is sure that public opinion is with her, though for the moment it is muzzled through fear. Ismene is brought in and offers to die with her sister; Antigone refuses her offer, insisting that she alone has deserved chastisement.
Why, too, should I thus rudely abandon my hero when on his return to the land where he drew his first breath, carrying with him no less than a multitude of laurels? Nay! though my few remaining locks are silvered with the frosts of four-score winters, and my almost palsied hand refuses to render me further service, I will not thus leave him to his fate.
The man hesitated. His eyes sought his master's respectfully but charged with meaning. "The person refuses to give his name, sir, but I fancied that I recognised his voice. I think it would be as well for you to speak, sir." Lady Cynthia sank into a chair.
