"Then, thath the thame thing ath if he'd thaid it himthelf," observed Johnnie, answering the old man's thought about a much older man. "Did I say it wasn't, sir? No, if ever there was a gentleman it's not a bit of use argufying that all men are ekal. I'm not ekal to either of them two."
Bullinger and Gualterus "were unwilling to contend with these men like fencing-masters," tired of their argufying; unable to "withdraw our entire confidence from the Bishops." Knox may have been less unsympathetic, but his advice agreed with the advice of the Genevans.
She laughed softly to herself as she filled two pies with sliced sour apples and dusted them plentifully with spice and sugar. "I'd admire to see papa argufying with that sweet girl," she observed to the surrounding silence. "Papa certainly is set on having his own way.
