Sidon rebelled ungratefully, although his father had saved her from desolation by Tyre. He stormed and burnt the city. The Scythian tribes came on the field in 678 B.C., but they were diplomatically conciliated. Now followed a memorable event. Babylon was rebuilt.
And if Lord Hollingford had not been returned for the county on the Whig interest as his father had been before him, until he had succeeded to the title it is quite probable Lord Cumnor would have considered the British constitution in danger, and the patriotism of his ancestors ungratefully ignored. But, excepting at elections, he had no notion of making Whig and Tory a party cry.
He was still young enough to believe in the existence of gratitude; and Mrs. Farnaby had spoken ungratefully. Besides, he was fond enough of Regina already to feel offended when she was referred to slightingly. "I am surprised to hear what you say of her," he burst out. "She is quite devoted to you." "Oh yes," said Mrs. Farnaby, carelessly.
His papers were restored, with the exception of three relating to political subjects. He afterwards fled to Switzerland, and ungratefully represented himself as having been oppressed by Bonaparte. His false statements have induced many writers to make of him an heroic victim. He was assassinated by his own servant in 1802. I kept a copy of one of his most interesting papers.
Self-pity; recollections connected with habits on which he had deliberately turned his back some thirty years before the normal pleasures, friendships, occupations of English society; fanatical hatred and resentment against two women in particular, the first of whom had, in his opinion, deliberately spoilt his life by a double cruelty, while the second his wife whom he had plucked up out of poverty, and the dust-heap of her disreputable relations, had ungratefully and wickedly rebelled against and deserted him.
Jeremy! exclaimed he, 'I don't wish to hear her mentioned; she has behaved as ungratefully as she has unwisely. 'Why, about the gratitude, Graham, said I, 'I believe you said it would only be an additional favour on your part if you took her with you, and I think it is wisdom in her to make herself independent at home.
"Sure?" he looked up at her gayly. "I'm sure of but one thing in this life, Betty, and that is that you should thank your stars you met me." "I don't doubt that I should have gotten home somehow," responded Betty, ungratefully, "so don't flatter yourself that you have saved even my bonnet." From its blue-lined shadow she smiled brightly down upon him.
He caught up the little drowsy beast, which growled ungratefully, and turned to leap down with it to the ballast, when there was a sharp concussion, which sent a jangling forward shock, increasing in violence as it went, along the standing train, and threw him violently against the partition of the compartment.
Abou Hassan was more affected by this behaviour of his friends, who had forsaken him so basely and ungratefully, after all the protestations they had made him, of inviolable attachment, than by the loss of all the money he had so foolishly squandered.
"No," answered Emile, "I shall be busy. Besides, the Royalties will be safer if I'm not there! We don't trouble ourselves about these particular ones though. They're not important enough." "I'm sorry you're not coming," Arithelli answered. Emile ungratefully disregarded the implied compliment, and threw out a blunt, "Why?" "I don't quite know. I think there is going to be something unlucky."
