However we may view these transactions, and whether we describe them by the stern words of the moralist, or the more deprecatory words of the diplomatist, they are the first sources of that storm of lawless rapine which swept over every part of Europe for five and twenty years to come.
Those of Mr and Mrs Quilp, however, were an exception to the general rule; the remarks which they occasioned being limited to a long soliloquy on the part of the gentleman, with perhaps a few deprecatory observations from the lady, not extending beyond a trembling monosyllable uttered at long intervals, and in a very submissive and humble tone.
"Do you recall any reason, as you look back, why I should grant this favor that you ask?" Mr. Wentz distinctly squirmed. "N-no." "Quite the contrary, if you'll recollect." "I hope," with a deprecatory gesture of his white hand, "you are not laying that up against us, Miss Prentice? Surely you can understand that a bank must protect itself." Kate's eyes which had been violet were gray now.
He held out his hand, which his brother-in-law grasped and wrung. "You are a faithful friend, Phil. Don't think for a moment that I do not appreciate you; but I believe I've been out of sorts for several days," said the professor, with a deprecatory smile.
"Make out!" cried the Governor with a deprecatory wave of his hand. "We should be proud to be permitted to sleep on the porch! You do us much honor, my dear Mrs. Walker." "Oh, you always cheer us up, Mr. Saulsbury. And Mr. Comly is just as welcome."

I made a deprecatory gesture. "I should have remembered directly that Captain Thwaites was ashore." "Beg pardon, sir," said Barkins, touching his cap. "Well, Mr Barkins." "I hope you will not send any marines with us." "And pray why, sir?" "We should have to be looking after them, sir, as much as they would be looking after us."
Pretty soon there came a deprecatory cough from the stairway the local method of announcing a visitor. Outside of Manila knocking or ringing does not seem to appeal to the Filipinos. In the provinces the educated classes come to the foot of the stairway and call "Permiso!" and the lower-class people come to the head of the stairway and cough to attact attention. My chicken man had returned.
The quick, almost deprecatory glance he darted at George betrayed his dismay; a dismay which George had begun to share, notwithstanding his growing belief that the man's face was not wholly unknown to him even if he could not recognise it as the one he had seen outside the Clermont.
Katharine came to herself with a sudden start. "Excuse me, dear," she said, with a deprecatory smile. "But what you have just told me sent my thoughts wandering back over all that has happened since I came here last winter. I did not mean to be heedless, and I am very glad that you wanted the book enough to buy it.
She made a quick, deprecatory gesture. "You saw me enter here," she said, "and you thought to discover treason of some kind Heaven knows what a mind like yours may imagine! You find me giving better counsel to His Highness than you could ever hope to give out of a better heart and from a better understanding. You have been worse than intrusive; you have been rash and stupid.
