The more general outrage, however, apparently common to the sex from Helen of Troy to Florence Nightingale, is, according to our censor, the spite of women towards each other, which mounts into an ecstasy of rudeness when "woman goes a-shopping." But our Cato the elder does not permit man truculently to exalt himself by contrast with discourteous woman.
"I won't work in the dark, sir," he declared truculently. "I'd rather be a pavement artist and my own master than Chief Inspector with an unknown spy following me about." "Quite so quite so."

The Ghilzai tribes of the region between Candahar and Ghuznee had accepted a subsidy to remain quiet, but the indomitable independence of this wild and fierce race was not to be tamed by bribes, and the spirit of hostility was manifesting itself so truculently that a British garrison had been placed in Khelat-i-Ghilzai, right in the heart of the disturbed territory.

"I was there, Citizen Bruslart," said a man, thrusting forward his head truculently. "What is there to complain of?" Bruslart looked at him, then leaned toward Sabatier and said in an audible aside "A new friend? I do not seem to remember him." "Citizen Boissin, a worthy man," said Sabatier, shortly.

"It doesn't matter what I heard, if you are going." "Of course I'm going," he said, truculently. He meant it, too.
