You must understand, gentlemen, that I was sent into the world, not to act, which I abominate, but to chronicle small beer and teach an army of little brats their letters; so this word 'wife, and that word 'chimney-corner, took possession of my mind, and a vision of darning stockings for a large party, all my own, filled my heart, and really I felt quite grateful to the little brute that was to give me all this, and he would have had such a wife as men never do have, still less deserve.
He would not do this, yet was sorely provoked toward it. "Every kindness I hear of done by an Englishman to an American prisoner makes me resolve not to proceed in the work, hoping a reconciliation may yet take place. But every fresh instance of your devilism weakens that resolution, and makes me abominate the thought of a reunion with such a people."
I must have Frank home, to take this stuff off my hands, or else keep what I abominate, a private secretary." Among the pile of letters that had lain unopened was one which he left to the last, because he disliked both the look and the smell of it. A dirty, ugly scrawl it was, bulged out with clumsy folding, and dabbed with wax in the creases.
"It is such fellows as he, who, sunk from the license of their military habits into idle debauched ruffians, infest the land with riots and robberies, brawl in hedge alehouses and cellars where strong waters are sold at midnight, and, with their deep oaths, their hot loyalty, and their drunken valour, make decent men abominate the very name of cavalier."
Oh, Prudence, I know you'll despise and abominate me all the rest of your life, and everybody will, and I deserve it. For I stole those apples myself. That is, I made Connie go and get them for me. She didn't want to. She begged not to. But I made her. She didn't eat one of them, I did it. And she felt very badly about it.
The power of putting this system into practice shows the highest degree of intellectual and masculine force. The married couple who dwell in separate apartments have become either divorced, or have attained to the discovery of happiness. They either abominate or adore each other.
Geoffrey?" "Like it, Miss Hermione? I abominate it!" "Oh!" "Say, Geoff," mourned Spike, "don't I get any stuffin' after all?" "Mr. Geoffrey, I've been wondering how you and Arthur met and where, and " "Gee, Hermy!" Spike exclaimed, "you sure do talk! If you go on asking poor old Geoff s' many questions, he'll forget t' serve himself this week. Look at his plate!" "Why, Mr.
He came upon Beatrice sitting on a floor cushion, feeding Monster some bonbons. "Have you been at her house?" she said, curiosity overcoming the pique. "Yes. Where is that paper? I dropped it in this chair when I came in for luncheon." "I had it taken away. I abominate newspapers in a drawing room or muddy shoes," she added, looking at his own. "What did she say? What sort of a house is it?"
We wanted Queen Anne or Louis Seize, simple, dignified, something to live with and grow fond of, and what did we get?" "Oh, dear, they might have asked me!" "But they don't, they never do, that is the theory of wedding presents, my dear. We got Pond Lily pattern, repoussé until it scratches your fingers. Pond Lily pattern, my dear, which I loathe, detest, and abominate!" "I too, George."
How an Englishman would fare in a public disturbance is difficult to say. It is probable that the Catholics would abominate him as a heretic, and the Protestants denounce him as an anti-Buonapartist, and that he would consequently be thrust from the one to the other, like a new comer between two roguish school-boys.
