Plainly, he was about to reach the most lamentable portion of his narrative. "And then she HOLLERED at me! She hollered, 'Oh, WILL EE!" Here he gave an imitation of Jane's voice, so damnatory that Jane ceased to eat for several moments and drew herself up with a kind of dignity. "She hollered, 'Oh, WILL EE' at me!" he stormed. "Anybody would think I was about six years old!
"Hampstead will arrange that for them." "No, no!" said the clergyman, as though he were bound on behalf of the family to repudiate an idea that was so damnatory to its honour. "It is just what he will do. Why else should he want to have her there? With his ideas he would think it the best thing he could do utterly to degrade us all. He has no idea of the honour of his brothers.
I do not arraign the keenness, or asperity of its damnatory style, in and for itself, as long as the author is addressed or treated as the mere impersonation of the work then under trial. "No private grudge they need, no personal spite The viva sectio is its own delight! All enmity, all envy, they disclaim, Disinterested thieves of our good name: Cool, sober murderers of their neighbour's fame!"
If the reader feels that my suspicions were not wholly unwarranted, were indeed inevitable, he will not laugh at me on learning that once more these suspicions were set aside, and the fact the damnatory fact, as I regarded it discovered by me so accidentally, and, I thought, providentially, was robbed of all its significance by Bourgonef himself casually and carelessly avowing it in conversation, just as one may avow a secret infirmity, with some bitterness, but without any implication of deceit in its concealment.
The glamour of yachting association might be made to cast a radiance about the event, in which the damnatory fact that the principal figure was a mere reporter could be thrown into low relief. Such is the view which journalistic snobbery takes of the general public's snobbery. "Whose yacht?" Again the spiteful little smile appealed on Burt's lips as he dashed the rising hope. "Fentriss Smith's."
They have no proof, and I'll swear through thick and thin rather than bring myself into this universal, this damnatory disgrace! I know indeed she will not believe me; and I likewise know that now it must be open war between us. For do not think that I will suffer myself to be thus shamefully beaten out of the field. No, by Lucifer and his Tophet!
I lifted the breakfast cover, and saw before me a damnatory red herring. "Rowley was very foolish last night," I remarked, with a discriminating stress on the name. "'The ass knoweth his master's crib." She pointed to the herring. "It's all ye'll get, Mr. Ducie, if that's your name." "Madam" I held out the fish at the end of my fork "you drag it across the track of an apology."
Sir John Pleydell was a member of that Parliament which had treated the Charter with contempt. He was one of those who had voted with the majority against the measures it embodied. In addition to these damnatory facts, he was a local Tory of some renown an ambitious man, the neighbours said, who wished to leave his son a peerage.
In the madness of his jealousy, the words of the paper, combined with Harris' revelations were damnatory confirmation of his wife's guilt. He felt now that he had foreseen what would happen, from the moment that he had surprised the look on Lady Bridget's face, when Maule had unexpectedly appeared before her. She had given herself away then.
Self-scourging with rods as a penance, was to her thinking a papistical ordinance most abominable and damnatory; but the essence of the self-scourging was as comfortable to her as ever was a hair-shirt to a Roman Catholic enthusiast.
