He also stopped indoors to obliterate all traces of human occupancy. It was perhaps a mark of respect to my belligerency which led Dawson to leave me gagged, but it was a painful compliment.

Wade gathered little Benny to her. "Oh, God!" she gasped. "I know I'm goin' to lose him. That cow's milk don't set right on his stomach." "It won't set any better after old Brindle fills up on this dust," observed Martin, belligerency in his brassy voice. "That'll do," came sharply from his father.
The leaders who direct the destinies of China became fully prepared for a state of belligerency from the moment they decided to speak; but they could not but be supremely anxious concerning the expression of that belligerency, since their international position had for years been such that a single false move might cripple them.

"I hear that the whole German army has been driven across the Marne," said Carstairs, "and that the force we hoped to cut off has either escaped or is about to escape. If that's so they won't retreat much further.
The very existence of the League presupposes that it and it alone is to have and to exercise military force. Any other belligerency or preparation or incitement to belligerency becomes rebellion, and any other arming a threat of rebellion, in a world League of Free Nations.
