John Davidson has dedicated a book to his enemy, thus: "Unwilling Friend, let not thy spite abate: help me with scorn, and strengthen me with hate." The general tendency to berate the man of superior talent would seem to indicate, as before suggested, that disparagement has some sort of compensation in it.
Is this the source of your inspiration when you berate your betters? I declare it smells good; the jade is no bad judge of wine!" As she spoke, the old woman, who had no particular aversion to the juice of the grape, hurriedly drank off the contents of the goblet, and immediately filled it up again from the flask. "There! she'll be no wiser," said she, with a cunning leer.
As General Séras, in spite of this happy outcome, continued to berate Sergeant Canon, Pertelay said to him, in his bluff outspoken way, "Don't scold him, mon General, he's such a coward that if he'd been in charge we wouldn't have succeeded!" A remark which did nothing to improve the awkward position of Sgt. Canon, who was now placed under arrest. I arrived in the midst of these goings-on.
As it is I consider we stand on rather delicate ground when we berate either a clock or a watch especially an old one." "Mr. McPhearson is fixing now a bracket clock made about 1720." "He is? That means it has ticked and ticked over two hundred years, doesn't it! Neither your machinery nor mine will last that long. Think of the changes a veteran like that has outlived.
"I don't reckon your acquaintance with angels is much greater than mine, Miss Arlie Dillon. How's the patient?" "He's always wanting something to eat, and he's cross as a bear." "Good for him! Give him two weeks now and he'll be ready to whip his weight in wild cats." The doctor disappeared within, and presently they could hear his loud, cheerful voice pretending to berate the patient.
This much have we said on the subject of the White House and its precincts, because we took occasion, in a former work, to berate the narrow-minded parsimony which left the grounds of the White House in a condition that was discreditable to the republic.
Plainly some one had taken care of the clothes she had left behind her; and her anxiety about a dress to dine in was lulled to rest. She thought for a while that she would go and berate Pollyooly; but she came to the conclusion that it would be absurd to blame her for the action of the duke. It was much more annoying to find that she could not reasonably blame the duke.
"I'm through," said Haldane laconically. "Well, I ain't," replied Mr. Growther; "you wouldn't mind taking that cheer till I am, would you?" Haldane found the cushioned armchair and the genial fire exceedingly to his taste, and he felt that in such comfortable quarters he could endure hearing the old man berate himself or any one else for an hour or more.
Sleep was long in coming, yet her nerves did not assert themselves unpleasantly, as usual. In fact, she had forgotten her nerves, in the strange, vague gladness that was half pain which flooded her being. She would berate herself for being "an old fool," though conscious at the same time of little, warming heart-thrills that exulted over her reason.
You alone would not keep us long in the castle, but we have no fancy to measure swords with him. So ride your way; you will get no glory here." In vain did Gawaine berate them as dastards and villains; say what he would, not a soul of them would set foot beyond the walls, and in time the two knights rode away in a rage, cursing all cowards in their beards.
