"It means, Conward," Dave answered, and there was steel in his voice "it means that after all these years I have discovered what a cur you are just in time to baulk you, at least in this instance." Conward flushed, but he maintained an attitude of composure. "You've been drinking, Dave," he said. "I meant no harm to Miss Wardin." "Don't make me call you a liar as well as a cur."
"When I was turned out of the boat, and couldn't baulk the race that way, it was you suggested cutting the lines, and I was glad enough to do it." "So you were," snarled Silk, incautiously "precious glad." "Then you did suggest it?" said the doctor, sharply. Silk saw his mistake, and tried to cover it, but his confusion only made the case against him worse.
"It's a kittle cast she has gien me to play; but yet it's fair play, and I winna baulk her. Mr. Osbaldistone, I dwell not very far from hence my kinsman can show you the way Leave Mr. Owen to do the best he can in Glasgow do you come and see me in the glens, and it's like I may pleasure you, and stead your father in his extremity. There's my thumb, I'll ne'er beguile thee."
"Don't go, stay with me a couple of days longer." "I feel the honour you are conferring on me, but business of the greatest importance obliges me to be gone forthwith." "Impossible," said the lady, as she went to a glass the better to lace herself, shewing me a superb breast. I saw her design, but I determined to baulk her.

Captain Baulk and the rest were a little aloof from us; and all around, at the open doors of the casemates, lurked many of the swarthy soldiery. Suddenly light footsteps sounded on the flagged pavement of the chapel in our rear, and a tall, graceful woman stepped forth and laid her hand upon my shoulder.
Halfdan was consulted whether the match should be entertained, and advised that a feigned consent should be given, promising that he would baulk the marriage. He also gave instructions that a seat should be allotted to himself among the places of the guests at table.
Mr. Scuddamore was moved to a very acute feeling of annoyance; he condemned Madame Zéphyrine unmercifully: he even blamed himself; but when he found, next day, that she had taken no means to baulk him of his favourite pastime, he continued to profit by her carelessness, and gratify his idle curiosity.
"Do you really love your daughter, Sir George?" asked Manners, in desperation. "Then I conjure you by all the affection towards her you possess, that in this, matter you consult her happiness. I cannot live without her, and she will fade away like a tender flower if you baulk her choice." "Do I love her?" repeated Sir George, impatiently. "Aye, that I do; am I not her father?"
I may tap you on the head to-morrow, and away go pleasure and honours, feasts and beauty, friends, flatterers, French cooks, fine horses and houses in exchange for a prison, a keeper, and a straw mattress like George Gaunt's." And then my lord would defy the ghost which threatened him, for he knew of a remedy by which he could baulk his enemy.
