Then she ran after her mother, and Bridget followed them at some little distance. They went directly down the street which a little farther on ran into Pier Street, Biddy feeling more and more ashamed of herself. How she wished she had been less hasty, and not spoken so rudely and crossly to her mother. It did seem true, as Alie said, that she spoilt everything.
When I had done so, he thrust one of his feet against my stomach, and struck me so rudely on the side with the other, that he forced me to rise up against my will. Having got up, he made me walk up under the trees, and forced me now and then to stop to gather and eat such fruits as we found.
Then they pushed on still further inland, and it was a week later when one evening their guide led them up to a little pile of stones upon a lonely ridge of rock. There were two letters very rudely cut on one of them, and Wyllard, who stooped down beside it, took off his cap when he rose. "There's no doubt that Jake Leslie lies here," he said, and looked at Overweg.
The Indian Government would become almost tearful on these occasions. First it would say, "Please be good and we'll forgive you." The tribe concerned in the latest depredation would collectively put its thumb to its nose and answer rudely. Then the Government would say: "Hadn't you better pay up a little money for those few corpses you left behind you the other night?"
The municipal officers would tell her nothing, and rudely refused her request to have a woman placed with her. "I asked nothing but what seemed indispensable, though it was often harshly refused," she says. "But I at least could keep myself clean.

There was a time in his history when the popular ignorance classed him with those who were once rudely called infidels; but the world has since gone so fast and so far that the mind he was of concerning religious belief would now be thought religious by a good half of the religious world.
It never entered his head to ask for any, and his heart would not have beaten more strongly or less rudely for twenty reasons, on either side. And now he was strangely happy and strangely calm as he sat there by himself. Beatrice could never love him. The mere idea was absurd beyond words. How could she love a common man like himself?
"A lot you were!" she retorted rudely. "Who was that girl you danced with?" He smiled wearily. "Tommy Renwick's cousin from the West." "She is pretty." "Very good goods." "Is she as nice as Tommy?" "No. There are not many girls as nearly right as Tommy." "Except me." "Well, perhaps, except you." "But then, I'm not many." "No, separate wrapper, only one in a box," he admitted handsomely.
Sauvresy did not know what to say; he was embarrassed by the logic of this daughter of the people, judging her lover rudely, but justly. "Ah, I know him, I do," continued Jenny, growing more excited as her mind reverted to the past. "He has only deceived me once the morning he came and told me he was going to kill himself. I was stupid enough to think him dead, and to cry about it.
