You never quite knew which to watch oftenest her eyes or her lips Excellent cooking at "The Bull"! PRO. And how she would berate you and scoff at your Master Epictetus, and dry-as-dust philosophers! MYSELF. I have sometimes wondered at her pronounced antipathy to Epictetus. PRO. And she called you a "creature." MYSELF. The meaning of which I never quite fathomed. PRO. And, frequently, a "pedant."
Hearing Ed Hall berate a farmer who doubted the practicability of the machine, Steve took him aside and talked to him. "We're going to need live young men who know how to handle other men for jobs as superintendent and things like that," he said. "I make no promises. I only want to tell you that I like live young fellows who can see the hole in a bushel basket. I like that kind.
And you berate yourself for hardheartedness and coldheartedness. When you are so weary, don't you see that your brain refuses to think?" "Do you mean that I ought to read only one verse and think that enough? Oh, if I might." "Have you taken more time than that would require for other things to-day?" "Why, yes," said Marjorie, looking surprised.
Hobson is making you a cup of tea, and then you must rest thoroughly, and sleep, if possible." "What will you do?" "Oh, I'll soothe my nerves with a cigar, and berate myself on the porch! When you are thoroughly rested I'll have Mr. Hobson drive us on to the nearest station. We are in no plight whatever, if you received no harm." "I haven't. Promise me one thing." "Anything everything."
It is usual to berate people of her sort, but they are no more to be blamed than other dyspeptics. Souls, like stomachs, cannot always coordinate appetite and digestion. Kedzie had, however, found a husband who would be permanently precious to her, since she would never be certain of him.
Often these encounters attracted interested by-standers, who saw the skilful buyer berate the seller and run down his goods, until the poor man, abject and undone, gave up. To get the better of the male man and force him to his knees is the pleasant diversion of a certain type of feminine mind. Before marriage the woman always, I am told, takes this high-handed attitude.
Octave Feuillet, a man of aristocratic birth, had set himself to write novels which portrayed the cynicism and hardness of the upper classes in France. One of these novels, Sibylle, excited the anger of George Sand. She had not known Feuillet before; yet now she sought him out, at first in order to berate him for his book, but in the end to add him to her variegated string of lovers.
Nelly tried to assure her that no one suspected a thing. Mr. Bolivar corroborated that statement, but Helen continued to sob and berate Nelly till finally Shelby's deep voice cried: "Halt, cabby!" Then dismounting he opened the cab door, took Helen by the arm and shook her soundly, then thundered: "If you was a boy I'd yank you out o' that cab and whale you well, for that's what you rate.
Drawing us aside, he vehemently demanded of the captain if he were mad, to berate in this unheard-of manner the touchstone of Bivouac sentiment, nationality, taste, and elegance! This street was never spoken of except by the use of superlatives; a usage, by the way, that Noah himself had by no means neglected.
Next the giantess would mingle with the fray. She would bounce out of her kitchen, berate the flower-vender, snatch up his flowers, declare that they smelt badly, fling them down again, pouring out all the while a voluble tirade of reproaches and revilings, and looking so enormous in her excitement that Katy wondered that the old man dared to answer her at all.
