There was very much of the boy still in him and he began to look back upon the days that he had spent with no other company than his own thoughts as cold and friendless. Zachary Tan had been always ready to receive him warmly. Why had he passed him so churlishly by and refused his outstretched hand? But there was more in it than that. Mr. Zanti attracted him most compellingly.
When one of these highly destined servants of the Great King fails in his duty, when he cannot pardon the sinner, when he looks churlishly upon a child, or condemns the innocent amusements of the young and happy, when he makes the sweet Sabbath a day of penance instead of praise of tyranny instead of rest, when he has no charity for backsliders, no sympathy for the sorrowful, no toleration for the contradictors of his own particular theory do we not feel that his very existence is a blasphemy, and his preaching a presumption!"
Dangloss's lynx-eyed constabulary kept close watch over these restless, homeless strangers, constantly ordering them to disperse, or to "move on," or to "find a bed, not a doorstep." The commands were always obeyed; churlishly, perhaps, in many instances, but never with physical resistance.
So, beckoning me into an antechamber, and swearing evilly under his breath all the time, the young man stripped off his fine coat, and offered it to me with one hand, without so much as looking at me. He gave it indeed churlishly, as one might give a dole to a loathsome beggar to be rid of his importunity.
I was glad, therefore, to be able to do what I could for them, and ordered one or two tempting things from the dinner-table to be set aside for them, which I afterwards took to them myself, incurring thereby the decided disfavour of the French officers, who churlishly resented what they considered my interference.
When Christ was invited to the marriage-feast at Cana of Galilee, when Matthew the publican made for Him a feast in His own house, He did not churlishly refuse, saying that such expenditure was wasteful and wicked excess.
Instead of rebuking me with the sweetness and dignity which I could not, in spite of my past observation, help expecting from you, you churlishly repel my offer of the assistance you need, tell me that I am very rude, very officious, and, in short, do what you can to make my position disagreeable and humiliating."
"A minute or two ago." "Why did you not inform me?" The tone was offensively domineering, thanks like enough to drink, nerves, and hatred of his job and all things and persons pertaining to it. The subaltern coloured. "He asked for water I got it for him." The commander stared churlishly, then addressed Lanyard: "How are you now?" "Very faint," Lanyard said truthfully.
"Sir," saith he, "Too churlishly are you entreating this damsel! What wrong hath she done you?" "What is it to you of me and of her?" "I say it" saith Perceval, "for that no knight ought to do churlishly to damsel." "He will not stint for you yet!" saith Brundans.
You who have sat with me before upon the green settee are familiar with the upper shelf, with the tattered Macaulay, the dapper Gibbon, the drab Boswell, the olive-green Scott, the pied Borrow, and all the goodly company who rub shoulders yonder. By the way, how one wishes that one's dear friends would only be friends also with each other. Why should Borrow snarl so churlishly at Scott?
