When her next baby was born, despite the opposition of her mother, the doctors, and even of her husband himself who were all vigorously opposed to her nursing her baby herself, a thing then unheard of and considered injurious she insisted on having her own way, and after that nursed all her babies herself.
Her mutterings were chiefly to her husband; and he murmured, in reply, "Very true, my love, very true. Exactly so, indeed quite unheard of but some ladies say any thing. Better pass it off as a joke. Every body knows what is due to you." "It will not do," whispered Frank to Emma; "they are most of them affronted. I will attack them with more address.
That is why I am giving you your chance. Now, go!" "You certainly will give me the opportunity to defend myself, Alix. Am I to be condemned unheard? If you will allow me to walk to the ferry with you " "And who is to act as my bodyguard?" she inquired with a significant sneer. "Go! I never want to see your face again." With that, she left him.
'I never go out anywhere without asking Lady Myrtle's leave. 'Of course not, Camilla interposed. 'It would not do at all.

I beg you to believe that, if you think it better not to ask it, she spoke in a lowered tone, so as to be unheard by Clayton, 'we shall neither blame you nor misunderstand you.
The houses these laborers had occupied were all taken from them, and for eighteen weeks they had no other means of subsistence than the casual charity given them for singing the story of their wrongs.

Hazeldean what? you, too, condemn me, and unheard?" "Unheard! zounds, no! If you have anything to say, speak truth, and shame the devil." "I abet Frank's marriage! I sanction the post-obit! Oh!" cried Randal, clinging to a straw, "if Frank himself were but here!" Harley's compassion vanished before this sustained hypocrisy. "You wish for the presence of Frank Hazeldean? It is just."
And here is another significant fact: as regards personal property I do not know any race in the world that is more honest than our backwoodsmen of the southern mountains. As soon as you leave the railroad you enter a land where sneak-thieves are rare and burglars almost unheard of.
There is a man endowed with no great talent, enjoying no public confidence, untrusted as a politician, and unheard of even as a writer by the world at large, and yet, because he is on the staff of the Jupiter, he is able to overturn the Government and throw the whole country into dismay. It is astonishing to me that a man like Lord Brock should allow himself to be so timid."
He had been quite right, then, in saying to his mother: "I can never believe that Marguerite deserts me at a moment when I am so wretched that she condemns me unheard, and has no greater confidence in me than in my accusers.
