'What a stylish, even a pretty woman, Edith Symmes might be, if she didn't wear such criminal clothes, Don't you see, you handsome idiot, that I please myself and score at the same time?" Not being able to refute these plausible arguments, Bea contented herself with stubbornly maintaining her point. "But red, Edith, why red? It is a nightmare. Who ever heard of a scarlet butterfly?"
Boyishly and with a boy's gesture he had thrown himself upon the bed and hidden his face from the light as though the very atmosphere of this wonder world were insupportable. Good God, that it should have happened to him, Alban Kennedy; that it should have been spoken of as his just right; that he should have been told that he had a claim which none might refute!
Anna's voice broke.... Her fingers were trembling. All at once she flushed crimson ... crimson with indignation, and for that instant, and that instant only, she was like her sister. Aratov was beginning an apology. 'Listen, Anna broke in again. 'I have an intense desire that you should not believe that slander, and should refute it, if possible!
This is the worst of an emotional teacher, that people take only so much as they please from him, while with a reasoner they must either refute by reason, or else they must accept by reason, and not at simple choice.
"You probably know the charge against you." "Yes," said Winston simply. "I hope to refute it. I will come with you." He went out, and Barrington stared at the men about him.

Such reports no doubt soon refute themselves; yet it cannot be denied that Gustavus, by his manoeuvres on the Rhine, gave a dangerous handle to the malice of his enemies, and in some measure justified the suspicion that he directed his arms, not so much against the Emperor and the Duke of Bavaria, as against the Roman Catholic religion itself.
The very rich, who are apt to be irreligious. 4. The very poor, who are apt to be immoral. The cut nails of machine-divinity may be driven in, but they won't clinch. The arguments which the greatest of our schoolmen could not refute were two: the blood in men's veins, and the milk in women's breasts. Humility is the first of the virtues for other people.
This gave his scholar an insight into the subject; who, living besides in the land where both the Slave Trade and slavery were established, obtained an additional knowledge of them, so as to be able to refute many of those objections, to which others, for want of local observation, could never have replied.

If it has not produced that effect, any further attempt to refute the calumny will only serve to confirm it. Mrs. P. Livingston is here, and desires her respects to you. She was glad to hear of the prospect you have of growing hearty.
