Not a single woman had been admitted to the distinguished assembly of the States-General, the city magistrates, and illustrious invited guests, who as spectators sat on benches and chairs opposite to the stage, and this placed the kindness of Granvelle, whom the Netherland dignitaries were said to detest, in a still brighter light.
I asked him the question we always find it interesting to ask foreigners, hoping to lead him into conversation. "How do you like our Rome, Baron Benoni?" "Rome? I loathe and detest it," he said, with a smile. "There is only one place in the whole world that I hate more." "What place is that?" I asked, remembering that he had made the same remark to Nino before.
"You'll have to be on a liquid diet for some time." "I know all about that," he replied with a fretful movement of the head. "It's the milk I detest. I was sick of it before ever I was taken ill. I've had so much of the damned stuff." "Have you?" "Oh, yes, gallons. The doctor prescribed it for me several months ago, to try to put some flesh on me." "And did it do you good?"
But, since I have gone so far, I will fairly add, I would wish to see a peace which should give rest to all parties, and secure the subjects from military rapine, which I detest as much as I do the means now adopted to resist it."

Pray, remember for the future that I object to your talking in this familiar way to Moore, or to any of the servants. Also, that there is nothing I detest so much as hearing about people's sick sisters, and sick babies, and so on. Everyone near me appears to have a sick relative just now, and to neglect their work in consequence."
There, man," he repeated, for he felt that Tom was about recommencing another rather vigorous attack, whilst the sobs were deafening, "there, I say; don't throttle me; that will do, sirrah; there now. On this occasion it is natural; but in general I detest snivelling it's unmanly."
"Well, yes; but made of pretty good material fighting machines with brains." "Ha!" The count laughed softly. "Bah! how I detest all these cars and ships! Will you believe me, I had rather my little chateau, my vineyard, and my wheat fields, than all the orders.... Eh, well, my country: there must be some magic in that phrase. Of all loves, that of country is the most lasting. Is that Balzac?
I returned the letter. "You can't despise me so much as I despise myself," continued Mary; "I hate, I detest myself for my folly. I recollect now how you used to caution me when a girl. Oh, mother, mother, it was a cruel legacy you left to your child, when you gave her your disposition. Yet why should I blame her? I must blame myself."
